Yes, and stick to data as described in the engine compartment, I have seen a lot off errors in modern filling machines. Citroen DS23IE

System pressure appears to be in the ballpark for the ambient temperature so refrigerant charge is roughly ok.

Would be worth checking next the drive plate on the front of the compressor is intact like lynalldiscovery has mentioned.

Fault code for high pressure will be because transducer was unplugged as it will default to an over pressure condition to disable the system.

Used to do a/c gassing years ago, we used to use nitrogen @10bar for testing as it was above the normal working pressure.

Your still supposed to if theres a leak or its lost a certain percentage of gas per year. Refilling knowing that it will leak out and damage the enviroment carries a huge fine for the individual and the company but garages still just use a vacuum test for 2 mins which proves nothing. Andrew

After second check in the same place, A/C is still not working.

Can someone please recommend a place to get this checked in the Portsmouth area? Thanks,
