R134a Aircon Re-gas in Slough. Older Cars Welcome
If your car was registered before 2017, the air conditioning runs on R134a refrigerant. We re-gas R134a systems regularly at our Slough workshop on everything from a Fiesta to a Range Rover. The job is not just connecting a bottle and pressing a button. It is recovery, vacuum, leak test and a measured re-fill to the manufacturer charge weight printed on the under-bonnet sticker.
Plenty of drivers across Slough and Berkshire have paid for a 'fast re-gas' at a chain garage and been blowing warm air again by July. That is because the system was already leaking and nobody checked. We pull a deep vacuum first. If the system will not hold vacuum, we tell you straight before any gas goes in.
Cars we re-gas with R134a every week
- Ford Fiesta, Focus, Kuga, Mondeo pre-2017. the bulk of our daily R134a work in Slough
- VW Golf, Polo, Passat, Tiguan pre-2017. the early MQB cars are still R134a, often forgotten on service
- BMW 1, 3, 5 Series and X1, X3, X5 pre-2017. BMW systems are sensitive to undercharge, we measure to the gram
- Audi A1, A3, A4, A6, Q3, Q5 pre-2017. common in our Berkshire workshop, particularly company-car returns
- Vauxhall Astra, Corsa, Insignia, Mokka pre-2017. popular with Slough school-run families, system often weak by year 6
- Light vans (Transit Connect, Caddy, Combo, Berlingo) pre-2017. trade vehicles working out of Langley and Colnbrook
What a proper R134a re-gas at Slough Car Servicing includes
Old refrigerant recovered into our R134a station, weighed and recorded. Deep vacuum pulled for 30 minutes to boil off any moisture inside the system. Vacuum hold-test for at least 10 minutes. If it drops, you have a leak and we stop and quote the repair before going any further.
If the vacuum holds, we charge to the exact factory weight (printed on the slam panel sticker), inject UV dye if you want long-term leak traceability, run the system and measure vent temperatures at the dashboard. A healthy R134a car should be blowing 4 to 8 degrees Celsius at the centre vents. We will not let your car leave at 15 degrees and call it 'done'.
When a re-gas is not the answer
Air con is a sealed system. It does not consume refrigerant the way an engine consumes oil. If your car needs a re-gas every summer, the answer is leak detection, not another bottle of gas. We will be honest with you. Sometimes the answer is a a fair amount schrader valve, sometimes it is a a fair amount condenser, sometimes it is a a fair amount compressor. We quote real prices for real fixes.
If your aircon stopped working suddenly (not gradually), that is usually a compressor clutch, a pressure switch, or an electrical fault, not low gas. Bring it in and we will diagnose before assuming.
