Hi all,
I had my aircon regassed recently, and the garage informed me that the aircon pressure switch is faulty and needs replacing. I've read conflicting reports on whether you need to regas the system after swapping the switch out. I've just called a garage and they informed me that they will need to do a regas, and the total will be around £160, which is pretty reasonable all told. I did mention that I've read that it won't need regassing though, but the receptionist told me that 'it does as they need to break into the system'. I appreciate that you can do this job yourself, but my car DIY skills are pretty rubbish if I'm honest.
I also got a quote from Audi, which was £287, inclusive of regassing if required. Seems like Audi don't even know if a regas is required or not.
Could somebody clarify this for me please? I don't really want to pay for another regas if it's not required.
Thanks
