306 A/C recharging

 I’ve had a quick google, but no joy, so…

Anyone know where the re-gassing points are for the A/C on a Peugeot 306?
I’m going to buy one of those cans of DIY refridgerant (I understand Carl
had some success with one), but I need to know where to plug it in…

    Low Pressure: Pipe off back of pump that goes to the evaporator on the
    bulkhead.

    High Pressure: Pipe that goes from Drier to Condenser at Drier end.


    Conor,

    Same shit, different day.

    Mine was an old R12 system, I bought a high pressure cannister ( like a
    very large sodastream bulb not like a spray can) of R49/R314 (drop in
    replacement) and the correct valve.

    Make sure you aren’t trying to refill R12 with R134a. I will probably
    leak and the valve on the cans won’t fit and you will need more of it
    when you find an adaptor.

    Aircon worked fine after.

    So 6 months to order it, 4 weeks for it to arrive, then they get to tell
    you "fuck off, it isn’t our fault, we’ll call you when the right one
    arrives" when the wrong part is dispatched then.

    Where from, Carl? I was thinking of having a go at the SD1.

    From
    http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Car-Air-Conditioning-Supplies
    Bought one of these with the hose included.
    <http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ISCEON-49-R413a-REFRIGERANT-DROP-IN-REPLACEMENT-
    FOR-R12_W0QQitemZ7984935348QQcategoryZ30928QQcmdZViewItem>

    Not sure if that includes the hose like the one I ordered did . Might
    need to contact the seller. Better filled as a liquid (turn the can
    upside down). I used Kitchen scales to work out when I had put in the
    right weight of refrigerant. It stayed in OK while I had it.

    He does pretty much anything car aircon related including proper
    conversion kits and pro-equipment.
    Might not be the cheapest, but if it can be refilled he will have
    something to fill it.
