Since I have owned my Paj I have been trying to get the AC working. As the alloy pipes to the rear AC were pin-holed I had the rear AC disconnected and was happy to get the front AC working. First test and re-gas lasted 3 months before the gas escaped. Second test found that the alloy fitting that supplied the rear was leaking, so that was ally welded, refitted and re-gassed. That lasted for two days before the gas escaped. I returned to the AC guy yesterday for one last attempt as it was getting expensive now (£300+) and he said that there was a leak on the fitting that supplied the rear AC that he had welded, but not from the weld, but from the push fit pipe on it.

Fitting size of the pipe is 15mm ish and gave me another good fitting (see pictures) to see if I can find something that will fit on it. Hence my questions are...

1) Am I being fobbed off?
2) Do you know if there is such a fitting to blank/cap this pipe off?

Can't post a picture as apparently I have exceeded my 1kb allowance. I did make the picture VERY small, any smaller then you would not see it...

Can you thread the inside of the fitting and put a bolt in it with thread sealant?

Hell
I have been through all this before.

1) Am I being fobbed off? Yes

2) Do you know if there is such a fitting to blank/cap this pipe off? Any AC man who knows their job would have fitting to do any job there is a Paj. Push fitting are not the done thing with AC. You have to use special fittings called Lokring couplings and you have to have a tool that goes with them.

Do yourself a really big favour and ring this chap. He is only about an hour and a bit from you. I Know he his mobile so he may come your way anyway.
