Not entirely true - check out Hychill Hychill a/c gas No doubt I'll be flamed by the "it's dangerous, your car will explode" haters, but it works, and anyone can buy it.

They also can't change the oil in the system which is also necessary for a proper aircon service. There is much more to a "regas" than just topping it off. Companies rely on users not knowing the correct procedure, hence the availability of these products. That said, sometimes you can half ass sh*t and it'll work out fine, this is one of those things...and no, your car won't blow up lol 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take an informed risk by all means, an uninformed risk taken upon the advice of people standing to have financial gain from your ignorance is unethical and immoral on the part of the sellers.

No real physical risk there if you're half way switched on. More than likely will make your aircon cooler too. Should still do it correctly though.
