Where is the aircon split on body removal?

Hi All, They body was removed from my D4 earlier this year.

I notice3d the aircon wasn't working well last month when we got a bit of warmer weather.

I had a guy come out and regas, he said to my misses he could only check for leaks up to a certain size..

He said that when he tried to degas, it was completely empty!

He regassed, and it lasted about 2 weeks before it went back to how it was so I guess I have a leak..

Please can someone point me to the joint where you would usually split the aircon system for a body removal? I want to concentrate around there as it's likely not sealed after the work..

Thanks!

There is a double o ring joint to the passenger side of the engine. You split the pipes there.

A good air con specialist would use leaktrace 95% nitrogen 5% hydrogen for leak testing. This can find leaks easily.

We find leaks tricky to find before using it.

The condenser radiator is a common leak

regards
Steve
