vr6storm 0 Posted June 18, 2007 IIRC its hooked up to a machine which then empties it and weighs it...........if there is a massive discrepency then you normally have a leak somewhere,there's natural wastage too so thats taken into account Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonedef 9 Posted June 18, 2007 I thought about buying the DIY kit yesterday when I was in Halfrauds as I just bought my daughter a Ka that seems to have very weak aircon but then figured if I spent the £30 or so on the stuff and it didn't work as it needed to be vacced down I may as well have visited the local a/c man. I've spent a bit of money there in the past with a new compresor/regas for the S3 and then a gas job on the Corrado climatronic install so I'm sure he owes me a free check on the Ka! That said, if anyone has any good experience of the Halfrauds kit I'm willing to listen. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
