MIkeyv60 Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Well 2 years are up and first service time. Can supply own oil and i know they do a brake fluid change, but they are asking for an air con regas for £215 . No point surely as working fine, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ians Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Had my 718 serviced back in July, no mention of a aircon regas. What will they suggest next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Ha! I wonder if it’s particular OPCs that do this, I remember one or two people being suggested it on their 981s though it’s never been mentioned to me. Kwickfit and others will do this for under £50 so I can see no reason whatsoever to pay Porsche £215 for the privilege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had Guildford suggest a regas to me for any of the Boxsters I've taken there. If it needed it after 2 years that would have to be a fault anyway; it should be much longer than that before it first needs it (can't remember offhand, but I would have said something like 7-8 yrs). I've always had Kwik-Fit to do it when it needed it as well rather than pay OPC prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIkeyv60 Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 They would charge £95 for mobil 1 and can get 6lts for £50 so its a small saving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8rev Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 £590 for mine inc brake fluid change, no mention of air con re-gas. Porsche Centre Teesside plus they have 6 months interest free for any bills over £500 - handy when just after Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
