306 Air Conditioning

In my Haynes manual for my 1997 D Turbo 306, It states you can check the air
conditioning by looking at the "Air conditioning system drier bottle sight
glass"

apparently this has a sight glass and humidity indicator

the only problem is i cant find it ..

The manual says it is located in the front right hand corner of the engine
compartment. Does anyone else know were it is located ?

Did they put this on all models ?

 

Have a look for a plain circular cannister down beside the
washer filler cap. Unfortunately there are no indicators on
this type, so you'll need to go to an air-con specialist to
check it.

Both my 306 and a friend's, (98 models) come with this type,
so I assume it is standard on all models around that age.

Had the Air Con guy out today, re gassed it etc, He said they only put them
on the earlier models. Its all working now anyway

The guy who did mine said he would do a regas for £40 but he did all
diagnostic stuff, put dye in etc, because i didnt know the history of the
car as there might be leaks this cost £70.

I phoned the AA they wanted about £65 for a regas and another local garage
wanted £70 + Vat.
