    E46 air con refill

    Hi. Where would be the best place to refill the aircon in e46?

    Do you recommend the kit from halfords or mickgarage?

    Mine is blowing warm air actually.

    Dublin area.

    I took a punt on one of those Halford's kits a few weeks ago as my 318tds was blowing warm air. Gas had disappeared from the system over the years. It has been working fine since, ice cold air for the last few weeks. Not sure how long it will last tho.
    And I had enough left over to fill a friends e46.

    Your aircon system is quite obviously a sealed system - if the gas has escaped you generally have an issue. I'd go to a aircon specialist to have a dye run through it before spending money on refilling it.
