Aircon needs to be regassed regularly (every 2 years from memory), if you don't the gas absorbs moisture and becomes corrosive. This is bad!

It will then proceed to slowly eat away at the aircon plumbing. This is very bad!

I had to replace my evaporator core when I first got my fto cos it glowed green. (This is because of the coloured dye they put into the system to find leaks) The whole thing cost an absolute fortune and took forever because the parts had to be brought in from Japan.
