I wouldnt trust those cans as far as i could throw themc and then some, we had a pack at work, we used one and sent the rest back, they are mega dangerous if you dont know what you are doing. We found the connector to the air con lines was very poor and when connecting it a bit of air con gas came out, if someone who doesnt know what they are doing is using it air con gas could be flying out. For those who dont know, air con gas is not friendly to the skin(its minus 200 odd degrees) and it is possible you could lose a finger (or more) if you get it on you!
Anyway those cans they are only good for topping up systems, not completely de-gassing, vacuuming and re-gassing the system. Go to a garage and get it done properly for the same sort of money.

Phoned Vauxhall to see how much..... wait for it.....
They told me that they would have to put it on the Diognostic machine first to tell what was wrong with it, this will be £76.14 + vat!! 
Thats before the bill to fix it!!
