Amazon’s Clima Set comes with two air condition recharge gas cylinders and is compatible with 100 per cent of cars that use R-134a refrigerant.
The product details describes the set as “nature conscious and vehicle safe.”
It is also suitable for vehicles manufactured between 1995 and 2016.
The description added: “It is safe, easy to use, and environmentally friendly, making it an ideal choice for car owners.”
One happy customer wrote: “Worked a treat, simple to use, van now has AC again.”
While reviewer wrote: “Did the job. Easy to use.
“A cost effective way to recharge and you can obviously use the regulator again and will only have to buy the can next time, which saves more money.”
Topping up air con refrigerant
Enthusiastic motorist, Scott Kilmar said: “This car hack will save you thousands in AC repairs.”
In his step by step guide on how to use the product, he explained that “it is not that hard to do.”
Halfords has also shared a guide on how to top up air con refrigerant just in time for the hotter months.
Halfords explained: “A blast of cool, refreshing air will certainly keep everyone happy when the sun is shining.
“But, as with many car components and consumables, the gas used to cool the air before it enters the cabin will eventually deplete.
“That’s when your air conditioning needs topping up.”
Its guide is broken down into three simple steps which involve turning on your car’s engine, performing a diagnostic check, and topping up the refrigerant if the gauge says “pressure is low.”
Halfords also advise you wear safety gloves and protective glasses when topping up your car.
Stay cool this summer
With the sun finally out, a home expert shared his top tips for staying cool this summer.

Contrary to popular opinion, he recommends keeping all windows and blinds closed to stop hot air from circulating around your home.
Other advice includes staying hydrated, filling a hot water bottle up with cold water, and using wet towels.
How to stay safe in hot weather
The UK Health Security Agency advised you follow these tips to reduce your risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion and heatstroke:
- Keep out of the sun at the hottest time of the day, between 11am and 3pm
- If you are going to do a physical activity like exercising or walking the dog, plan to do these during times of the day when it is cooler such as the morning or evening
- Keep your home cool by closing windows and curtains in rooms that face the sun
- If you go outside, cover up with light clothing, a hat and sunglasses and slather on sun cream
- Drink plenty of fluids but limit booze
- Know the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke and what to do if you or someone else has them
- Check on family, friends and neighbours who may be at higher risk of becoming unwell, and if you are at higher risk, ask them to do the same for you
