Hi all,
Looking for some help, have a 80, 1hdft manual, use it to travel to Portugal with the family and we do want working AC, it was retrofit as my model is the GS worked for one trip and never again, brother fitted, but immediately accept we would like a AC working in that trip. Several hours with window open is no fun. I have fitted new dryer oem, new seals, and ac radiator nissens, when it was retrofit.
What is not working, ac compressor is gone, ordered a new one, Denso, local ac guy diagnosed also 2 pipes leaking, it's like the pipes are porous, guy send me videos of that.
I wanted new pipes, Pipes are 2,one coming off the bulkhead and one connecting to the dryer.
Both partssouq no available, and anamaya say they have and then say no stock.
Didn't want pipes from UK cars as I believe the pipes as they are few years now and will possibly have the same problem I have.
What have people done when needed to replace pipes, any recommend proper specialist for ac on older cars to make new pipes. Struggle to get anyone to work on these properly.
Im in the wirral, but willing to travel for the right a specialist.
And no option to sell the 80, but did look at 150s
Order from Nayab is possibly an option, before I do so, just wanted to ask anyone had the same challenges.
Many thanks
Luis
