Hi fellow owners,
I have a question that I was unable to find in the forums so I'll try my luck with a post.
Ok, I own a 2006 E and I don't use my air condition that much during the year, only during the humid Summer months. Now I was told by family & friends that if I don't use my A/C often, I won't have to get it recharged often.
Well a buddy at work told me that service shops don't recharge the A/C system unless there is a leak in the system. Basically, it's a self contained system, he said.
Now, I was surprise and I'm hoping he is correct too. Is that true?
If so, I no longer need to feel guilty turning on my A/C even when it's a little warm outside.
Oh, in fact I need the A/C system recharged at some point, how much does a typical repair shop charge?
TIA
