chrispb123456 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Posted June 27, 2010 Hi thereThose tins you can buy come with the connector/adapter, they come with full instructions.It will say you need to find the low pressure connector, when you lift bonnet there are too connectors with black screw caps, the adapter will only fit one of these thats the low pressure one as the other is slightly bigger. Personally I wouldn't waste my money, firstly you don't know how much you need to put in, if it's all leaked away you will certainly need more than one tin, and if you overfill the system you can do more harm than good. Get in touch with a auto air-con specialist they will suck out any remaining gas to tell you how much you have lost, vacuum the whole system, leak test, if every things OK regas the system which will include new oil and fluorescent dye for detecting any future leak Quote
