I think the option was for cars prior to 2017 so my 2004 car should be OK

So I turned up yesterday morning and the car was driven into a bay.
I disappeared round the corner for a coffee and 10 minutes after returning I'm advised there is a leak and ATS can't refill the system.
I asked where the leak was , expecting the condenser, but told both high and low pressure valves were leaking. ATS aren't interested in repairs but said get it repaired and I can return and use the voucher.
Off to a local A/C specialist and its booked in for a full check, repair (hopefully) and re-gas Thursday afternoon. I hope its the valves and not the condenser. I understand there is a lot of labour to change one of those out.
Oh, and another job to be done. The n/s/r door actuator. Door refuses to lock or unlock using remote. All others work so I'm assuming its the actuator.
This is becoming a money pit.

Took the C class into the A/C specialist this afternoon where he removed the remaining refrigerant (13g), vacuum dried and vacuum leak tested the system and gave it the all clear. Refilled with 600g gas, 18g oil and I now have ice cold a/c.
So much for ATS diagnosing leaking high and low pressure valves. 9baedd666d694551a47d87e0a96e99f7[1].jpg

^ Good price.
Best I've seen around my area is £49 apart from the ATS offer through Groupon.
I'll not be going to ATS for any a/c in future after their misdiagnosis.

I’ve found ATS to be very good at A/C. As above found a leak, (holed condense) so I went home, sourced a new one and the drier canister fitted them myself and went back a week /10 days later, when they retested, regassed all good. (It was the trusty W168)
