Buncers Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 Needed the Air Con cooling for the first time this summer. Wasn't cooling so took into fraud. They claimed they couldn't find a leek but was only half full so have re-charged it. Car has only done 17k from new - less that 2 year old. Is it normal to need recharging so soon? Quote

sparky Paul Posted April 11, 2011 Report Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) I can't really help much with a mk.III, but it doesn't seem to have lasted very long to me. You might have a better chance posting this in the mk.III section, but I can't see many owners having to have a regas at that age without some sort of mechanical failure. The only advice I can offer is the usual thing with aircon, make sure you run the system regularly, even in winter, this distributes oil around the system minimising gas losses past seals.
