Hello all
Not quite as problematic as John's latest problems - hope it gets sorted by
the way John but I'm just after a small piece of info.
I've noticed oil or something on the front of my rad, bottom left as I look
towards the windscreen with the bonnet open. It is coming from a pipe union
just above the ambient temperature sensor at the bottom left of the rad. I
confirmed this by running the car with full a/c for about 20 minutes and
watched it bubbling and frothing.
2 questions. Is this refrigerant or oil... Looks and feels like it might be
compressor oil. And secondly, this pipe comes from the top of the
compressor, then through in fron of the rad and then takes a 90 degree turn
to go back behind the rad presumably to the condenser. Its this 90 degree
join that leaks. I've checked the tightness etc but it still leaks so my
question is, eventually... Does anyone know if this is a gasket oor can it
be sealed with something else. I've just the system re gassed so will have
to take it back to get it drained but wondered about this seal.
Thanks
