Picked it up last weekend... 300 miles later.. Being the cautious type, I went into ownership with the intention of having to spend out... so here i go first issue: Aircon: had regas done at kwik fit, they did not detect a leak, aircon was cold but niosy and by the time i got home i could hear hissing coming from the front bumper, so clearly system has a leak and a trawl through posts on here it sounds like a condensor has gone, so that is my job for next weekend... where should i get the condensor from? is it worth having dye put through the system to check it isnt a loose pipe? (any ideas where i can get this done in essex?) PS. kwik fit refunded me.. 2008 320d m sport 2002 996 C4 tip

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.
