Air con woes
V70 2001 2.4 petrol auto
Air can vacumed regassed and dye added 4 weeks ago. Worked beautifully until last week. Took it back to the aircon guy I used today and he put on glasses and torch to check for leaks with the ultra violet thing. 2 leaks found. Bottom corner of the aircon rad corroded and compressor case leaking slightly. Bugger

They should have checked all that on the re-gas. Its normal practice to leak test before refilling with new gad.

When he initially did the work he added a dye with no leakage. 4 weeks later I have leaks.
