Post by: dummer on October 30, 2017, 03:43:59 PM
anyone know where I can get https://www.crc.co.nz/AC-Charge/6895-e501156f-a800-4c81-af80-c14eda1f660a/ (https://www.crc.co.nz/AC-Charge/6895-e501156f-a800-4c81-af80-c14eda1f660a/) or any alternative.

asked Repco and they are not interested.

Thanks

Just get your local dealer or A/C specialist to do it. How do you plan to get the right amount of gas in with that kit or test for leaks after it is filled?

isn't there's a trigger for you to control the flow?

The gas charge is measured buy weight, all cars are different. For example 450 grams +or- 50 grams.  How are you going to know the amount is correct by just squitting it in. Too much gas is just as bad as too little gas, the system won't work correctly. The system is sealed, if the gas is low, then you have a leak. When there is a leak in the system  the oil can also leak out. How are you going to add oil? Take it to an A/C guy. Spend your money wisely.
