My aircon had been non-functioning for a while and costs to have it recharged locally were £60+, so I thought I'd give this kit a try and see if I could save a few pounds. It has worked perfectly, restoring the system to full function again. The Instructions are straightforward and detailed enough to take you through how to use the kit without any problems. Now that I have the hose and gauge I can buy leak stopper and recharge gas for around £20 each if I need to recharge the system again. I definitely recommend this kit.

Did not work well with my car as it did not maintain the full pressure. The sealer only repair plastic and rubber parts of the system, so if you have problem with the metal part, this not the right item for you.

I had realised that my air conditioning was leaking and had it topped up every year which lasted about two to three weeks (about the same time as the British summer), my local garage that topped it up wasn't able to find the leak and as aircon isn't used that often I just left it for 3 years, then I bought this product and after 10 minutes it was fixed, brilliant. The instructions were 3 lines long, it was so easy I kicked myself that I hadn't done it years ago, just brilliant

Amazing Product, but it depends on:- 1. What you are going to use it for. (refilling your air conditioning from empty, or just topping up). 2.What type of car you have. 3. What pressure you air con works at. I found (on my 1.6 Petrol) 2007 Citroen Szara Picasso) it will get you air con going if it is completely empty. (assuming that you have no leaks on your system of course!). However, I found (on my Picasso) that for topping up the system (one you have initially used a can to pressurise the system and get it working) the cans do not have enough pressure in them to top the system up to keep it working. I found that once the pressure in the system reaches the pressure remaining in the top up can of gas, no more gas will go into your car's system - the pressure seems to equalise between the car's air con system, and the pressure remaining in the top up can. Consequently, you end up wasting perhaps 1/3rd of the can, and have to purchase another full can to enable you continue topping up the car's system. The same thing happens again when the can's pressure equalises with that of the car's air con system. I ended up taking my car to a garage and paying £70 to get the air con system topped up. It has worked perfectly since then. (the garage found only 400grms of gas in the system, and they put in 700grms!) They told me that the DIY cans of gas are OK for smaller cars where there is less grams of gas in their systems, but are no good for larger cars. That's about all I can say really. P.Edwards.

My N16 Almera's aircon failed, it was diagnosed as having a leak in the compressor (presumably the drive shaft seal). I used the universal top up and leak stopper kit. So far so good, it has been working for two weeks. There is some evidence of the stuff having got round the drive shaft seal and been flung around by the drive pulley, but this may have now stopped. Perhaps this is to be expected. It is too early to say it is a fix that lasts more than a few weeks, but hopefully it may. Stopped me from cooking on some long motorway trips. The kit itself was very easy to use, the low pressure aircon valve is very easy to access on the n16 Almera, and connecting the cans and filling the system was a doddle and took very little time or effort. The R134 refrigerant itself is non toxic, non flammable and does not harm the ozone layer, however it is being phased out as it is a green house gas ten times as deadly as methane (and 300 times worse that CO2). It could cause cold burns if mishandled, so wear goggles in case of mishap. Read full review
