Air Con Regas

Air con seems ok but I thought I would get it checked at Thick Twits for £49. 
Waste of time. All there data does not show my 2.5l SA Caravelle. Not even a 2.2 Audi 100.

Anybody have the data, or where to go down South?

	Hi Colin. You may do better posting this in the mainstream forum rather than under SA. For my two - happorth, I would seek out an air con engineer experienced in older vehicles rather than a re-gas place as the type of refrigerant that is in the system needs to be identified. Using a local re-gas is likely to get a top up of the wrong stuff. So far as I am aware, the system on your bus is the same as used on the German buses. (Mine is SA aftermarket and totally unobtainable, hence not working!)
