Hi All,
My air con isn’t working – I’ve tried to get it fixed but hit problems.
2001 diesel with the small condenser.
Had it leak tested and condenser leaking.
Ordered one from an air con specialist - keying in year etc – old larger condenser received. Tried Island 4x4 and again wrong condenser – originally they thought they had the right type then on checking said sorry wrong one.
My thought now is to fit the larger standard condenser – it would appear to fit in the space. -adjustment to oil cooler brackets.
Now the problem - The present condenser to compressor pipe fitting, on the condenser end, is a straight pipe with “O” ring seal – same type as on to the compressor rather than a screwed nut on the earlier type. Can this pipe be changed to that used on earlier P38 diesels - think the ref is AWR5075.?
Is there any detriment in doing this?
The benefit is should the condenser leak again then replacement in easy.
All comments warmly welcomed
