My 2004 320D is in need of some Aircon gas

Where in the Paarl / Northern Suburbs can I do this?
Who will you recommend?

Car has a leak in the system, air con is a closed loop system and should not need topping up/refill unless the system has been released of its contents or a break in the components.

Use a dye first at refill so it can be traced if there is a leak...

Spot on - There is never a need to re-gas unless you have a leak.

It would be like re-gassing your fridge.

Jip it must be a leak or its because the aircon was not used inthe winter at all this in turn causes the o-rings to shrink and you loose gas. to service your aircon every 2 years us a good thing and makes your system last longer.

Refill the gas.

On a domestic fridge you should never need to refil gas unless there is a leak but on a car it is a different scenario. Using the aircon in temperatures exceeding 35 degrees causes the problem. The car aircon systems builds up too much pressure when used in those temperatures. There is a pressure valve somewhere in the system which dumps some of the pressure in turn loosing some gas. Over time you will need to do a refill. That however does not rule out the possibility of a leak. After the refill the car should be taken back in two weeks just to inspect for a leak.
