AC fault

Hi everyone, last year my 2014 RRS AC system didn’t seem to blow as cold as it should, I took it to have refrigerant topped up, it turned out that it was low but not by too much. Within a few weeks I noticed a mist coming through the centre cabin air vents and since then no cold air at all. Before I spend out just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar. Thanks in advance

You have a leak. They likely put dye in the last recharge so a UV light should show up where it’s at. Just take it back to them, it’s likely the condenser that got stone damage. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Thanks, do you know the location of the condenser? The garage who topped up the refrigerant are only any good at regassing, when it comes to issues they are far from specialists

This may help,



Check with them to see if they put dye in at the regas. If not, get some dye in there as it will save a lot of hassle trying to locate a very tiny leak. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Thanks for the information, my RRS is the 2015 model, not sure if it’s the same as the older models?

Sorry missed that bit, try you tube for your year. The positioning on all vehicles is similar, it’s just the difficulty in getting to it which varies. Like I said though, before you throw a ton of cash at it and find it’s not the condenser but a pipe to it, put some dye in the system. You may just find it’s a dry seal! 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)
