Re-gas? VN

[VNSV38]

Hi Guys,
Just wondering how much it will set me back to get a mechanic to re-gas my aircon in my vn.
Or is it possible to regas it myself?
cheers.

lookin at around 100bucks depending on what needs to be done...

but if its got a leak more because thatll need to be repaired

to regas them you need completely empty the system, vaccum it out which also removes all moisture, and regas properly..

not just a matter of pumpin her up unfortunatly

what if the system is still running the old, illegal gas?

It is (or was several months ago) still available. It's only illegal to build new systems using it. Servicing existing ones is OK.

also releasing the gas into the enviroment will result in a 50grand fine if caught
