Hi,
I bought a seat alhambra 1.9 diesel 4 years ago. The seller said the air con needs to be re-gased. This was the first time I had a car with air con so was not sure as to what to expect in terms of 'how cold' it should be. I took it to a local "car air con specialist" who charged me £80 to re-gas it. I must say I didn't notice much of an improvement.
The following week I took it to my local seat dealer to have a few minor issues sorted (speaker grilles/mats etc) and asked them to check the air con whilst I was there. They checked it, said it was working ok and charged me £20. I still wasn't convinced. It wasn't until the arrival of summer that I found out how poor it was, it's cooler with all the windows down and the blowers on full blast, than having the air con on. Apart from that I was very happy with the car so didnt mind so much. Now I want to get it sorted..........any ideas??
