GlenB said:It's almost certainly the DIY bodge recharge that's the problem. If you've now had it vac'd and charged properly is suspect your problem will be resolved.
C11BRA said:It wasn't a bodge re-charge. More of a quick test to check the pressure sensors & compressor cut in ok before I could get it to my garage. When it cut out after hitting a large bump, I'm confident that the poor compressor connection was the problem.
The 645 grams of temporary gas was removed, filtered & returned with some oil & topped up to the 900 or so grams after being vacced from 30 mins.
All good at the moment.
C11BRA said:I added some DIY gas to check for immediate leaks from the usual suspects, condensers, pipes & joints. The gas held & the AC blew cold. Great.....I'll just keep an eye on it and in a week or so I'll get it all vacced out & re-gassed properly.

No i can't just regas it with dye .. wait till it leaks out then look for the dye .. i have to nitrogen test it .. that takes time they say , customer won't pay for that .. and so on ..
I don't want to be a Prison " boy " !
C11BRA said:I added dye to mine, so if there is a leak, hopefully I'll find it easier.
Unless I'm in jail :cop:
