Pity that 80 year old bush Mechanic does'nt live in Perth... I like his approach.:angel:
Has anyone done the figures on whether it's viable to buy a set of gauges, pump and whatever else is required to re-charge one's own system ?
I'd guess a few 'fixes' over the next 5 to 10 years for two older cars.
- I'm not familiar with the hands-on / nitty-gritty of re-gassing.
I looked up pricing for bits and pieces a while ago and of course it will vary but I reckon your ROI would be 2-3 recharges. More than 3 recharges and you'd be better off with your own.Quote:

Got a bloke coming around this arvo, re-gas the Mazda for $150 with a HC. Need A/C for the week-end flying lesson.
- Will get him to look at Sarah whilst he's here.
Edit: The 'Eskimo' has been and gone, arrived 2 minutes early,injected his HyChill 'and the coldth is between 0 and 1 degree, depending on which angle you read the dial ... Sarah did well, 4 degrees so he suggested we leave her alone, as the moving air whilst driving will possibly bring it down a bit further. He was'nt overly impressed with the (lack of) air flow through the condenser or the electric fans.
- Nothing new there.
There is a guy around here who does a lot of A/C work for mechanical workshops.
He doesnt have a vacuum pump,t's into the engine vacuum instead,fills it up with Hi chill,all good.
