MG · AC Gas Refilling
Vacuum, leak test and re-gas to the exact weight your car specifies. Priced per MG model, not per brand.
What follows is what ac gas refilling on a MG specifically involves, what it costs, and what we check while the car is with us.
Every visit includes a battery health test — not a voltage reading, a load test — because a MG in Dubai is on a two-to-three year battery cycle and the cheapest time to find a failing one is while somebody is already looking at the car. On the start-stop models in this range that also means checking whether the battery has been registered, because an unregistered replacement is being charged to the wrong profile.
Air and moisture left in an AC system do not compress, so they occupy space the refrigerant needed and raise head pressure. Worse, moisture reacts with the refrigerant and PAG oil to form acid, which corrodes the system from inside. Pulling a deep vacuum boils that moisture out. Skipping it is the difference between a re-gas that lasts and one that damages the compressor.
Too much refrigerant raises high-side pressure, cuts cooling, and puts liquid where the compressor expects gas. Because a system in Dubai's heat reads high pressure anyway, charging by gauge alone leads to undercharging in an attempt to keep pressures down. Charging by weight avoids the whole problem.
MG is a Chinese make, and warranty servicing schedules are short and worth keeping to, because they are also what keeps the warranty intact. For an AC re-gas specifically that means we price the parts to the model rather than the badge, and we check the items that go alongside it on this range instead of quoting a flat figure and finding out later.
A sealed system should never need refilling. If yours is low, it is leaking, and the leak is the actual repair. Refilling alone buys weeks to months.
About an hour: recovery, vacuum, hold test, charge and temperature check. We can do it at your location.
In Dubai summer, roughly 6-10 degrees at the centre vent on full recirculation after ten minutes. Much above that with a correct charge points at airflow, the blend door or the condenser.
Call, or send your location on WhatsApp. We will tell you the price before we set off.
