    My experience is that there are a lot of cheap parts out there with dubious quality. Trucktec are particularly nasty, and in some cases their parts simply will not fit.

    2010 212 Air Con recharge - 980g or 550g?

    Pressure isn’t an accurate way to charge an automotive AC system, the pressures need to be adjusted for ambient air temperature as a minimum. Variable displacement compressors make it very difficult to assess system performance without measuring superheat and sub cooling across the various...

    Air Con "Service".
