| Rear a/con pipework part number help needed |
|
Finally found the leak in my air con system its a pin hole in the alloy pipework for the rear a/con unit, inside the nearside cill.
Can anyone tell me the part number for the pipe work and the seals needed to fit them?
Much apprecated

Its the right part number and with me mentioning Im in the trade its comes out at 167 quid all in, not cheap but not to sad either.
This is the best price I could find locally, even the addocks were more money so have to assume its oe part only.
Pipe comes with seals and little clips already fitted and its a stock part and we all know what that means!

Nice!
I have this issue with my rear pipes also. Which didn't happen until I had just got an AC refill and wasn't picked up on the UV test. Typical!

It was vac tested and passed no problems but a couple of days later it was inop again, only when I pressurised the system to 8 bar with nitrogen did the leak become obvious and even then it was only a tiny bubble through soapy water, failed at the joint under passenger side rear door, slight oil staining there so a good indicator.
It was the larger bottom pipe that had failed.
Ps its still working fine today, I keep winding the temp dial down each time I go out as a quick check!
