Bump Adanny01. Any update? Did you finally get a recharge?
Oh yes i did, 3 weeks ago before i took a trip to Enugu. Its blasting colder than it was.

The recharge process wasnt quite a good experience for me. My friend took me to his cousin whom he said is good at it but i just had a stuborn kazeem who doesnt want to learn.

I had no option than to use the small 300g+ since most of them didnt have the big one i prefered. He did exactly what i told him not to do, that is turning the can upside down during recharge. Since the A/C works, i just count myself lucky.

I dont think its a leak. I understand that over time, it will be required to recharge even if there isnt a leak. There are usual minute loss from the system.

The car history doesnt show any A/C repair and for almost 3 yrs i have not recharge. I also want to believe that it was never recharged before i bought the car. In that case, recharging refridgerant installed since 2003 would be very normal.
