HI Has anybody used one of the 'diy' aircon / leak-sealing kits? Typically (eBay) they come with a filling hose / gauge arrangement, a canister of leak sealer and a canister of approved aircon gas.

The aircon on my '05 Pug 307sw was recharged in spring of this year, and slowly lost pressure over about 6 months. I've a small local independent garage that supplied the car s/h, and do all of the servicing etc on it, but they don't do aircon.
The larger garage in the next town regassed the car earlier this year (130 euro or so) - but muttered along the lines of 'cost more than the car's worth to get the leak fixed...' - and denied that there was such a thing as aircon leak sealant.
FWIW - they also sell new cars - and that may be 'colouring' their advice... perhaps...?
Any experience out there, please - before I spend £60 on a diy leak-seal / re-gassing kit? TIA Adrian
