Replacing air con pipes
« on: 28 August 2014, 11:56 »
Has anybody replaced the aircon pipes before in the engine bay?

They all look connected to me, had a 2nd hand one delievered today and looks like one massive piping system.


My origional split on the rubber piping that comes from the compressor and looks a pain to replace a hugr trial of pipes?

Help!

I've never done it, I was contemplating ripping the thing out because I never use it.
I remember your post though with the split though, have you got a pic of what they sent you? is it definitely for a MK4?

Yeah that what I thought it would be looks like its a closed system so you cant just replace one pipe  :sad:
