Hi.

MY11 LWB

I've been to see a local aircon specialist since my aircon was failing about 6 month after a re-gas and he nitrogen pressure tested and then went looking for leaks.

He found some pinhole leaks (using good old detergent & water showing bubble formation) where the clips hold the front to rear pipes under the body - lots of corrosion visible at the clips too.

Does anyone know of the part numbers or stockist for these pipes so I can get them replaced before re-gassing?

I've done a bit of googling but can't see anything obvious, but I could be missing the correct search terms.

Regards,
Stephen

Mitzy Bitz used to stock them, alternatively it is possible to blank off the rear system.

Can't find them on Mitzi Bitz' website. ZA dealer has quoted me this:

£67.48 Discharge 7815V824

Centre

Prices need VAT adding.

Many specialists can make the pipes up and they now fit plastic clips.

I had my rear aircon pipes blanked off under the bonnet. Front still works great. Easy fix. Cost a few pounds rather than a few hundred.

Many thanks everyone.

Sealing or blanking off will be the way forward I think.

I just need to find someone local who can do this.

I’ve just done this. Not a bad job to be honest. An 8mm hydraulic compression blank on the high pressure side works a treat. I was going to use a 12mm compression on the low pressure side and ordered the same however when I chopped the pipes and came to fit it I discovered Mitsi had used that popular size 12.4mm OD!
So in the end I made a slug to the same dimensions as the original pipe to take the original
O ring seal and fitted this to the union nut.
Pressure tested with nitrogen and then recharged and it’s been properly ice cold for a weeks holiday in Cornwall.

It turned out I must have had another pinhole leak somewhere else as after 2 months the aircon lost its power.

Since I will be selling the car in a couple of months I've used one of the STP aircon leak fixers.

Fingers are crossed that all will be well as I travel to Spain soon.

This is the only way I found a bungler, so you have to be careful and find someone you can trust.
