Question Air con kaput!

Any one know how to check if the Air conditioning is leaking? As mine is not working. Had a freebie "ACREC" today at KwikFit and they said it was prob' due to a leak but they had no way of finding it.

Re: Air con kaput!

You need to get the system pressure tested. Any decent Re-Con place will hook-up a bottle of pressurised air through the system at a re-con jack. You'll hear a hiss where your leak is...........usually on a pipe-bend.
Have to say the A/C system on the Stilo is generally very good.

Re: Air con kaput!

Fractured or broken aircon pipes are very common on petrol stilo's. Take it to an air-con specialist and they should be able find the problem quickly.
