How much should it cost to regass my i10's air con?
Is it fair that I have to pay £292 for air conditioning regassing on a 2-year old Hyundai i10? Apparently this model uses the new (and very expensive) R1234yf environmentally friendly refrigerant and the firm's warranty excludes refrigerants unless required "as a direct consequence of a warrantable repair".
The dealer cannot guarantee how long the re-gassed system will work for and tells me that many owners just accept the air con not working. I don't think this is acceptable on a two year old model.

The first time I had my car's aircon regassed was at eight years old and the cost was less than £50. All car a/c have to use R1234yf, so unless you car is also getting a replacement component such as a stone damaged condenser radiator you are being right royally ripped of.

My Ford Transit Custom's air con is cold, but sometimes goes warm. There's no pattern to it. It's had a new relay and regas. When it's warm the fan isn't running, what could the issue be?

Stylish and good quality interior. Roomier and more mature than its predecessor. Very refined for a small car. Handles well and good to drive.
