My E7 is now 5 years old and I noticed last year that the aircon wasn't as cold as it once was. In fact this year it stopped working altogether. I had a word with a friend who works in a local garage and he told me that in the Peugeot systems, once the gas pressure drops below a certain level the compressor stops working to prevent any damage. I had heard about kits that were available on the web which allowed you to recharge the system yourself and since they were a helluva lot cheaper than the usual 50 quid that it costs to get it done professionally, I thought it worth a go.

PS if you need more in the future, you can buy just the canister of gas and not the full kit, saving you money again
