2012 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Keswick Green

Puma 2.2 Tdci Aircon fun and games

Had the Landy aircon re-gassed and it's leaked out again.

Garage fitted UV dye, but it's not showing up.

Any ideas ? Getting fed up now,

I know air-conditioning in a defender is a luxury, but I've got to like it, it makes demisting instant, and it's lovely in the hot weather. Puma 90 XS Station Wagon in Keswick Green 2012 2.2 Tdci

2012 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Firenze Red

I had a similar issue when the gas was added it all looked good but when the engine was running and I went for a drive the gas leaked away
so my suggestion is to get the system charged with dye and then run the engine so as you may be able to detect the leak then

I have had to replace the condenser as the leak was there and that was not a cheap part, however it was an easy job to do so only had to pay for the re-test and re-gassing - been fine since then
