Topping up air con refrigerant
Enthusiastic motorist, Scott Kilmar said: “This car hack will save you thousands in AC repairs.”
In his step by step guide on how to use the product, he explained that “it is not that hard to do.”
Halfords has also shared a guide on how to top up air con refrigerant just in time for the hotter months.
Halfords explained: “A blast of cool, refreshing air will certainly keep everyone happy when the sun is shining.
“But, as with many car components and consumables, the gas used to cool the air before it enters the cabin will eventually deplete.
“That’s when your air conditioning needs topping up.”
Its guide is broken down into three simple steps which involve turning on your car’s engine, performing a diagnostic check, and topping up the refrigerant if the gauge says “pressure is low.”
Halfords also advise you wear safety gloves and protective glasses when topping up your car.
