Here is the pic

It is leaking from the seal in the small pipe that has the electrical connector, looks like it will just undo and the o ring can be replaced?? any idea if there are
any springs valves etc in there.???

Hello Jb

Thanks for the info.

I had to get the whole box as well Laughing

This part could be removed without taking the compressor off, undoes with one 5mm allen key. Wish I had known that part beforehand. Laughing

For anyone needing these . you will need 2 x 9mm id x 2mm 1x 6mm x 2 and 1x 8.5 x 2mm this kit did not have an 8.5 so I am going to put the old one back in as it is the one that fits two flat faces so hopefully it will be ok.

shame you are not nearer I could have rifled through your box lol

I got plenty left over if anyone needs any.

see me regassed Laughing

Yep thats pretty much the same box.
Mine came from eurocar parts.
yep if you was closer you could of helped yourself.
I could of even recharged your gas.

Hello jb

Managed to get the compressor back on, which was not any easier than getting if off Laughing

Next time it needs gassing will bring it along to you, I just realised where you are. Not far out of my way when I visit my sister.

This time I will get the chaps who tried to do it this time. so as they can finish the job they started.

See what leaks next lol

see me freezing me cods off

Well fingers crossed for you.
hope it works ok.
I know for me ive learnt something new, if compressor is leaking I will think about what you have done.
Even better bit is I know it can be repaired on vehicle.

Well done for your perseverance.., makes a refreshing change from the usual of just ditching the system Wink

Hello ktp and jb Very Happy

Thank you for that. I just don't like things that don't work Laughing

I hope it lasts until next summer now,...... it is nice on a hot day Cool

While I was at it I changed the oil,, upside was I think I found the oil leak that I have been chasing for ages. I hope it was the banjo bolt above the oil filter.

see me mopping up Laughing

Yep great stuff.
I see no reason why it won't last as youve used the correct seals.
I know a bit expensive for kit but its like hydraulic o rings, the times ive seen people use wrong o rings, they just dont last.

hello jb

The seals that came out of it were black, which is a bit confusing. I have no way of knowing if they are original or not. That kit was only 10.00 so not too bad, got plenty left over as well Laughing

That kit did not have the 8.5 mm or the smaller one required for the lp/hp hoses.

I never thought about how o rings seal before. Apparently they are quite mobile in use and they need lubrication to move about. here is a bit on the subject.

see me well sealed Laughing

Well when I work on cars I often find all colours.
different makes use all colours.
its about the sixe and what the rubber is made off that makes all the difference.
Them o rings never use to be green.
I think there green now so you know there for aircon.
hydraulic o rings are still black but much harder.
very important the size and thickness is correct or it wont last.

The O ring seals in my old 928 aircon are green Confused

Surely thats not on r12 is it?
Or that blows my theroy out of the water lol.
I was going by the old cars I worked on.
years back I woŕked for plàce restoring old classic cars.
the owner was well into banger racing.
every Wednesdays I had to repair the ood cortinas with a dozer if to far gone then strip another out.
they use to often get the long cortinas that were from the funeral directors.
Immaculate condition but obviously worthless.
some were for carrying people others for the coffins.
they never had green o rings.
they were around late 70s and early 80s.
thats why I assumed that.
Maybe some cars did use green and others not.
who knows.
