A car air conditioning regas, also called an air con recharge, replaces the refrigerant gas that allows your vehicle’s air conditioning system to produce cold air. Most vehicles use either R134a or R1234yf gas. At Motorvation Bedford, we identify the correct gas for your vehicle, service the system, recharge it safely, and check that the air conditioning is working as it should before you leave.
If your air con has not been serviced for around two years, or it is no longer blowing properly cold, it may be time to book an air conditioning regas.
Your vehicle may need an air con service or regas if:
Air conditioning is not just for summer. A working system also helps reduce humidity inside the cabin, which makes it useful for demisting windows in colder and wetter weather.
When you book an air con regas at Motorvation Bedford, our team will check the system and recharge it with the correct refrigerant for your vehicle.
A typical air conditioning service may include:
If your vehicle has a significant leak or the system cannot hold pressure, a simple regas may not solve the problem. In that case, we will explain what we have found and advise you on the next step before carrying out further work.
Different vehicles use different air conditioning gas. Using the wrong refrigerant can damage the system, so it is important that the correct gas is used.
R134a is commonly found in many older vehicles. If your car uses R134a, we can recharge the system using the correct equipment and quantity for your vehicle.
R1234yf is used in many newer vehicles and is a lower-emission refrigerant compared with older gases. R1234yf usually costs more than R134a, so if your vehicle requires R1234yf, we will confirm this and advise you of the price before the work is completed.

Book Your Air Conditioning Regas Online
As a general guide, many manufacturers recommend having your car air conditioning serviced or re-gassed around every two years. Refrigerant can naturally reduce over time, which means the system may gradually become less effective.
No. The MOT test does not check whether your air conditioning blows cold. Your car can pass an MOT even if the air conditioning is not working, so you need to book an air con regas or service separately.
Not always. Many routine car services do not include a full air conditioning regas, so it is worth booking this separately if your system is not performing well.
Yes. Using your air conditioning in winter can help clear mist from the windows by reducing moisture inside the cabin. Running the system regularly can also help keep it working properly.
A musty smell can be caused by bacteria, moisture, or dirt building up in the ventilation system or cabin filter. An air con clean or cabin filter replacement may help. Ask our team when booking and we can advise.
Warm air from the vents can be caused by low refrigerant, a leak, compressor issues, electrical faults, or other system problems. A regas may solve the issue if the system is simply low on gas, but if there is a leak or fault, further diagnosis may be needed.
If your air conditioning system has a leak, it may lose refrigerant again after being recharged. If we suspect a leak or pressure issue, we will explain this clearly and advise on the next step. A system with a significant leak should be repaired before being refilled.
R134a and R1234yf are the two main refrigerants used in modern car air conditioning systems. R134a is common in many older vehicles, while R1234yf is used in many newer vehicles and usually costs more to recharge.
