aircon is upsetting me

[benmanc]

Just had aircon regassed to notice a noise when I got home and realised I had a big ass leak from the big pipe at the front of the engine bay (one in the pic below with tape on - which likely did f**k all)

Is it an air con pipe?

Easy to replace?

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think you can do it without the necessary discharge/recharge equipment.

If it's leaked anyway just change it and get Mr Clutch to sort it for 39 quid.

Any issues straight back.

I had it regassed for £24 from groupon offer. Woked fine and now ita pissing out.

Will just leave it all to drain and change?

Is it easy or buy a new part amd get garage to do it?

You will need to get the pipe from the dealers and then get a specialist to replace it and regas the system

[Bellend]

Do it yourself just make sure the other rings are in good nick.

Absolutely no point leaving it to a specialist if it has all leaked out. Double check by briefly pressing in the valve along the aircon line. They should have leak tested it though before filling!

So I take it wasn't leaking before you took it in?
Just get back on to the company that did and tell them its no better, explain about the leak and they will probably re do it when you replace the pipe

As said, take it straight back to whoever attempted to re-gas it in this sorry state. Who fitted the tape?

[benmanc]

I got it regassed because it was making noises and needed doing.

Didnt know it was because there was a leak.

I put tape on. Hissing was pretty loud and stopped it

It will be empty now in anycase if the pipe is holed, they should have also leak tested first.
