Longchalk Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 The aircon in my Skoda Fabia is a bit feeble this year. It does blow coolish, after a while, but nothing like so quick & effective as ourwork vehicles. Its a '58 plate so I guess it just needs re-gassing. ... What's sensible price to pay for this? I've never had it done before. And if anyone knows anywhere reliable in the Northampton area, so much the better. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) £35-70 depending on where Kwik fit had an offer last year make sure they put the proper lube in Edited June 23, 2014 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave66 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 My 09 plate Octavia is doing the same, a slight cooling for the first few minutes, then nothing. Time to get it checked. Please let me know how you get on. Thanks....Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88b Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 That is pretty good if done properly http://www.f1autocentres.co.uk/air-conditioning.php it's pretty idiot proof nowadays as the machine does it, all the operator has to do is set how much refrigerant goes in. Not like the old days when you had to measure it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
