Mk Ii Aircon Pipe Special Tool

[Barlidge]

After changing out condenser/drier with lots of advice on here all has been well, however, I was under the car today and spotted two new leaks (fresh green oily dye), the 1st near the high pressure switch under a bracket and the 2nd on the U section of pipe leading from the compressor, both seemingly common areas well refenced on the forum.

 

I tried to source costs for new pipes from local ford dealer but after 45 minutes they still couldnt identify the second pipe, I have since found a nice VW diagram here on the forum that shows both pipes clearly so will be taking that to VW dealer and see if they can help.

 

I have seen reference to the special tool for disconnecting the pipes on here with a Euro Car Parts number but their website cant find it, does anyone know where this can be obtained.

 

Many thanks.

I think I may have narrowed it down:

 

VS045

 

VS0454

 

Can anyone confirm if one or both of these are suitable, thanks.

Well if anyone else is wondering how these work here is a video showing the tool in action:

i've been having similar problems with finding the special tool, I rang Euro car parts who say it's still available at
