Quick Fit only deal with R134a systems , if you have an R12 system you need to go to a 'proper' air con engineer for conversion as even 'drop in' replacement gases like 'Freeze12' seem to be no longer available .

how do kwikfit mess up a regas tho? they just use a machine, select from the table how many grams of oil and gas and away it goes, surely as long as they can read a table its foolproof?

All cars are not in their data base,, the 230 is not and they re charge as for a 129

One would think so wouldn't one.

Think about the sort of training a qualified 'pump & pipe' man (sorry, person) receives during their apprenticeship and the sort of specialist training MB techs, Indies as well as other vehicle manufactures techs to get it right then consider why the organisation you mention get it so wrong when they sometimes have a hard job doing other pretty straight forward stuff.;)

The growth of A/C in the UK and the availability of high quality charging stations makes some believe that such work can be done by anyone with the minimum of training, or not as the case may be, added altogether it all makes for a real money spinner and the customer has to pick up the tab - TWICE ! serves some right because instead of using a professional outfit who will sort it out once and for all they are so tempted by a seemingly cheap alternative.

ah, they shouldnt guess the volumes

Is this info not on the vehicle data plate or in the handbook?

A good engineer (that alone rules out some outfits methinks) should be able to use the gauges to see how the system is performing and if the right charge is in there or not:cool:
