Hi and Welcome

 

Sorry I cannot help with the amounts, but I would thing it depends on

if you have air-con in the back as well.

 

I may be barking up the wrong tree, assuming you want to top up your

cars, but I would suggest going to a proper air-con firm, as its not just

a matter of topping it up!

 

You need to extract the old gas and the vacumme out the system to remove

any mosture, and then replace the gas (without letting it out to the outside

[which is eleagal]).

 

And if you were thinking of getting those from Halfords, it would cost you around

Hi

 

thanks for the reply

 

Is why I want to know is a friend of mine has all the gear to do-recharging

as he does fridges etc, and he asked for the amount of gas to put in .

 

I do have the TIS but cant find the disk ( always the way !!)

I agree. Best to get it done by a specialist. Chances are that it didn't just run out of gas and you can waste a lot of gas doing trial and error. There are some posts on this in the main section but I think it's in the order of 1.3 Kg.

cheers guys.

 

will pass on the info

 

I would have thought the oil is added the same way as the gas is

his charging rig also has glass tubes that can be filled and then put into the system

so adding oil,dye,leak inhibitor etc should be no prob.

 

he only pays about

There is sticker next to the bonnet latch in the engine bay with the amounts - look for the tell tale "R134A" - if there are two quantities the lower is for single a/c and the higher is for dual a/c.
