Hi All

Ive just had my aircon gas conversion done & regassed, but the gas
leaks out again!. Tuner says that i need a new hose, one that runs
from the compressor to the condensor.

Problem is that he/we do not have a part number ?

any help/suggestions, pleeeeeeeeeeeeaze

I would try www.realoem.com first, but i'm sure someone will squirrel it out for you shortly

Edit - These might help:

PRESSURE HOSE ASSY COMPRESSOR-CONDENSER 1 from 06/1983 64531372618
03 PRESSURE HOSE ASSY COMPRESSOR-CONDENSER 1 from 06/1983 to 09/1985 64531373589

I'm afraid I don't have an answer for you......but I would be interested if someone could give me some pointers on the best way to locate a leak. My '91 Tourer lost all its gas within 10 minutes so I need to replace something, the question is, what?!

Hi Dan, how's it hanging ?.

If you save some more Ԛ£ and take the beast to an air-con specialist they can find the leak by several different means, one is regassing and introducing a dye which leaves a purple stain at the leak or they regas it and use an electronic 'sniffer' to find the leaking gas.

The M30 afm is on by the way, just needs a bit more tweeking. It's actually giving me more MPG at the mo :mad:

Sorry gents :offtopic:

Cheers,

Thanks for the advice Iain, I have no dollar at the mo so it will have to wait......not like I really need aircon at the mo anyway!

Glad to hear the AFM is doing something good, could do with it back if it reduces fuel consumption!
