mjkrs2k Posted July 8, 2006 Report Posted July 8, 2006 this may of already been covered but without reading many many posts. Here is the situation my cc aint worked since i brought the car 4 weeks ago. No gas in it. Today i took it to merc garage which my brother works at to re gas it. we recovered 60g of gas which aint good but not bad. Then vac ed out the system for 30 mins and refilled with 750g of gas. compressor cuts in but not cold air. So draiined the system and re did it and still no cold air. So fully check every piece of pipework under the bonnet with the uv pen and yellow specs no leaks. Got the sniffer on it couldnt sniff anything any ideas. Checked the fuses and all ok. now im stuck. Many thanks for reading martin Quote
Alhambra Posted July 8, 2006 Report Posted July 8, 2006 Does the system hold pressure? How much did you remove the 2nd time? The lo-pressure pipe to the compressor pump often leaks at the U bend 9" before the compressor. Its an expensive bugger to buy too. http://www.serviceengineer.utvinternet.com/images/leaking-pipe2.jpg The pipe in the picture has been removed from the comprssor & pulled up to the oil filler pipe for clarity.
