As above, anybody know what it means when the light on the air-con button flashes?

I got my aircon regassed today. It worked pretty good until 5 minutes down the road where the compressor turned off and the light started flashing. The aircon still works whenever i turn it off then on again, but after revving the engine the light will flash and compressor shut down again.

Sounds like the safety valve going off - they may have undergassed it.

you can also check it at the front of your engine bay next to the radiator. Theres a little viewing glass thing in there. The manual shows what to look for it may just be under or over gassed.

Under gassed usually the compreser doens't come on. Over gassed usually the compressor is shut off via the high pressure switch, if it keeps doing it take it back Smile

What did they has it with. I heard there is a new replacement for R134 called 'Minus 30'
