Well, maybe the title isn't strictly true, but I have a pretty slow leak.
When I bought the car there was no gas in the system (usual cabin sounds, warm air, De Mort tells me no gas etc)..
So I took it to Pro Tyre who did the whole vacuum, drain, fill. Ice cold air
This was about 3 months ago. Over the last couple of weeks the system has got chatty in the cabin and now I'm sure it's basically all gone. The air blows the same temp with/without AC and it's super noisy when AC is on.
Question: since I'm guessing this is a super slow leak, where would one start looking for clues? Any tips? I'd rather have a poke around myself initially even if it's just to help point a specialist in the right direction. Are there any dye kits that are reasonable value for money for a one-off hunt?
At least this has happened in September rather than May.
