Aircon Regas for <£22
After 8 years the aircon is not blowing as cold as it once did, and usually a regas will sort it. So before paying the usual £40-£50 I had a look around and found a nationwide chain doing it through Groupon very cheaply.
Generate a unique code here https://www.myvouchercodes.co.uk/groupon Buy here and paste in unique code https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/ats-...subs_group=afl You'll get an aircon regas for £21.71 with loads of branches across the U.K. Hope this is not against the rules, but it is a motoring forum and hopefully it helps someone out given summer is around the corner |

Is that the right gas for a 2002 V70? If so, I'll be buying.
Applies to vehicles with R134A refrigerant gas only. Vehicles with R1234YF refrigerant gas are excluded |

My 58 plate V70 is R134a according to my owners manual, so all good for me. Edit: It seems R1234YF is the latest refrigerant for newer cars as it has a lower global warming potential than R134a. My bet is that given the age of your car it'll be R134a. http://www.ac4cars.co.uk/r1234yf.html Last edited by Scooser; May 13th, 2017 at 11:57. |

It's a great deal but it looks like there are only 15 branches offering the service so double check before buying.

Considering how rarely it needs doing and you're saving maybe £4 a year, I would still just use a regular regas service.
The problem is that once they have your details, Groupon mither you more than a clingy ex.

R134a was used on vehicles from the early 90s up until a year or two ago

Three or four years ago mostly. Mercedes were among the last to gas with R1234YF, because it cited safety fears from the propane based R1234YF. These do have a 'flammable' yellow hazard safety sticker under the hood should you look for it.
