Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / May 2006306 A/C question
Typically with today being the real first warm day I decided to put the a/c on in my 2001 306. No cold air like last year at all! Does this mean it needs recharging and if so what's the likely cost? TIA cheers, Len Yes it will probabaly need charging, most places will put a dye in the system, then if it looses pressure again, they will be able to find the leak.

Cost, Average cost for the service is about £70 + vat Regards Slim Of course a service is always best, but you can now get the refill canisters from Halfords etc, for about £30. yes someone used one of these on a Xantia, he reported that it worked fine.

This keeps the seals on the AC compressor coated in oil and prevents the gas from leaking out! Matt > Typically with today being the real first warm day I decided to put > the a/c on in my 2001 306.

You can use it with heat you know, not just cold ! Regards Slim > Typically with today being the real first warm day I decided to put > the a/c on in my 2001 306. No cold air like last year at all!
