For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.there are no fualts i would say that are unique to Peugeot, although when i worked on the euro 7 taxis (peugeot expert van really) they did go through a few air con pumps but bearing in mind these were hammered 24 hours a day 7 days a week. did kwik-fit do a vacuum test for a leak when they serviced it? did they replace any compressor/pump oil that would have been drawn out the system during a vacuum check??
why dont they vacuum check the system before a re-gas?? that way they will know if its got a leak or not before they try and pump it full of refrigerant!! bloody kwik fit butchers and bakers repairing cars, there was a day when even experienced car mechanics couldnt touch air-con it had to be a refrigeration engineer that carried out any service/repair work. this cars air con system i would imagine should hold around 500-600 grams of R134A gas, check the vin plate or there will be a sticker on the landing panel, presuming there isnt a leak, if they havent fully recharged the system with the correct amount of gas then it wont work properly.
