Air con refil
Anyone give me a guide on how you check / topup your air con on a newage Sti?
Seen a highly recommended air con kit in Halfords and might give it a go if it's an easy job, a guide with photos would be good!
Thanks
Andy

I wouldn't recommend it.
When doing the air con, to do it properly it needs totally discharging, pull a vacuum on it, leak test, then weighing back in according to the size of the air con system, then leak testing again.
The DIY kits just puts some in, which isn't good for the system.
Edit: Also, you will still have a leak somewhere
