Magicmushroom2005 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 My old fiesta mk6 2007 that my brother has now has a problem Its been regassed by 2 garages now for 30 quid a time and lasts a month then all leaked out, the compressor dont start now but heard thats a safety thing when no gas in system as it has oil for lubrication. Reakon i have a slow leak why is the machine now picking it up? I cba with the dye test , surly when they suck the old stuff out it would show a leak? I pressed the valve other day slight hiss and nothing so all gas as gone again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Condensor leaking most likely, well, normally is . if its had dye put in, then it should glow under uv light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicmushroom2005 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 I have heard the condensor is a commom problem is it still a problem on mk7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmaldon Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Condensor is most likely culprit on most cars. Dye test will locate the issue. You could try a top up with a leak fix which has worked for me, but depends on how bad the leak is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 A dye test with Nitrogen is the best and only option tbh. Listening for random hisses is the proverbial needle in a haystack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Dont take it back to the 2 garages you allready been, they obviously havent got a clue. nitrogen is the best and enviromently best option, those 2 garages are actually breaking the law just regassing knowing theres a leak somewhere 2008/9 onwards dont seem to have condensor problems yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
