My aircon, the continuing saga!

Post by J1MMCD »

As per my other thread I had a hole in the aircon pipe. Thanks to Maclee’s advice I managed to realise it was the compressor to condenser hose.
Ordered from Fleabay, fitted and one new O ring later that pipe seemed ok.

But there’s still a leak! 🤦‍♂️

Two dye packs still wouldn’t show the leak up but you could hear it literally pi$$ing out when nitrogen was passed through.
Finally traced that leak to the other pipe (ending 741 C in the original post) but it appears to be the O ring on the connection to the compressor!

Out came the O ring box and the damn fitting O ring is well above the size of the “standard” multi box.

Don’t suppose anyone knows where I can get this O ring without it costing me an arm or a leg?

Approx diameter of required o ring is 30mm

TIA
