Was at the dealer to have my air-con re-gassed. Mentioned it was blowing warm at the third service, just inside my warranty, and it went back mid-April to be tested however they couldn't find a leak resulting in the re-gassing diagnosis. Apparently three years is Ford's recommended interval on these systems(!) but they didn't have any of the new stuff in stock and needed to be trained in the process hence the return today.
On evacuation they found the system almost empty, which is not normal and would suggest a leak however a nitrogen fill with dye has still failed to show up anything. So have now been re-gassed with more dye and the car is blowing cold again.
Can't help but think i've not seen the back of this issue...

Poxy plastic stripe has come loose

On the plus side, it gives me the impetus to investigate getting yellow stripes........

I reckon that will look very good.

I had a similar problem with my Vette. Aircon stopped working, completely empty, so re-gassed including dye. 12 months later, completely empty again but no evidence of leaks on high pressure or low pressure sides. Refilled but sold it not too long afterwards so don't know if it's an annual cycle. To be honest, a re-gass at £70 lasted (at least) all summer and is a lot cheaper than replacing components once you're out of warranty!

I think the new Unicorn farts that they put in are more than £70 a pop.

I was quoted £200 and never told if that was inc VAT or not. Got charged £92...not sure if they forgot to charge for the gas. Paid and left

my cars all have one of 2 things in common, their wipers are either shit and don't clear anything or the aircon doesn't work.

So the mustang has pretty good wipers..... i've never bothered turning the aircon on

That new air con gas is silly expensive stuff, I’m sure we pay around £750 a bottle for it at work compared to about £200 a bottle for the old type!

Pair or catch cans arrived. £24 for Both.
Will be fitting this weekend with any luck.

Car is in Ford again tomorrow for the reverse camera loom replacing.

 

[hinch]

do you not need vented catch cans to release case pressure ?

 

[CraigJ]

It’s a recirculating setup, from valve cover back to inlet post MAF. If the were vented you risk unmetered air and bad running.

 

[hinch]

on turbos we have to vent them otherwise we get too much pressure so SC's are a little different.

Trip to GT101 to have the Ford 2019 rear spoiler, MMD front fog light splitters and Stoptech drilled/slotted brake discs fitted.

Was a bit worried about the spoiler tbh but once I saw it on I love it

Next up, painted callipers once I sort the logistics out.

Was never sure about it myself but it looks great black on yellow...
