Title: COSSIE ('97') A/C Problem
Post by gerryw on Jan 12^th, 2009, 1:27pm

Hi all,

I noted that I had a fault with my A/C in my earlier Post regarding 'Condensation' but thought that I would post the problem as a separate item.

I recently had a good 2nd-hand A/C Compressor fitted and went to get a Re-Gas at Kwik-Fit.

But I was told there was a fault with a Valve used to re-gas the system (the valve is situated in the A/C pipe by the Damper strut and near to the bulkhead on the nearside) which can be clearly seen sticking up off the A/C pipe.

I was told that the valve was leaking gas and that it needed to be repaired. I have had some replies but would like to put the problem out to a wider audience.

If anybody can help me i.e. repair of the valve, replace the A/C pipe (new one expensive) with a 2nd hand pipe or any other fix that you think may help me and it would be much appreciated?

Regards
Gerryw
