    Climate control in the 9-5, it feels really warm on everything other than "lo" which is cool enough, but not baltic. Would a re-gas get things right again, or could this be any number of things wrong. I see atlas do a regas for €75. I dont mind paying for it, but if its something else wrong, then I could better spend the money.

    The gear they have for re-gassing tests the system for pressure loss(leaks) first, so you'll know if the system can be filled or not.

    Regas is the job. I used Fastfit recently, can't remember how much I paid but I thought it was cheaper than that.

    Great service from them too.

    We had the exact same problem and a nice regas did the job (9-5 2.2did). I think we paid 65 euros to a fellow who would come out to you in a van.

    It was like sitting in an igloo on the lo setting after that. Was handy as we were going to france the next week where it was 30c+ at the time.

    Christ, of course we're not. If you have a problem with people shilling, report the posts. Simple as. As for TT's thread, the guy asks for one favor that an internet forum can actually help with and he gets stick for it. Sheesh.

    And as for Ardennes, the guy just wants a few clicks on a survey for college, that is not a shill. And it's not like he's not a regular contributor to this place.

    Now i'd appreciate it if people would PM me or us mods about issues they have, rather than bringing things up on thread.
