One of the most obvious signs that your air needs to be re-gassed is a noticeable change in the air blown from the vents – it won’t be as cold as it once was. During summer, you’ll find that your car struggles to get down to a cool temperature. You may also notice a musty smell this is another key indicator that you need an aircon regas.
How Often Do I Need to Regas My Aircon?
