any ideas as to what my problem could be???

Last post

I'd suggest its water too, we used to get a lot of people come back with their first car with A/C (especially in hot weather) as they thought it was leaking.

A drip drip of water (assuming it is water, and not coolant) is normal as the moisture is taken out of the conditioned air and it has to go somewhere, usually a drain pipe fitted underneath.

hi all, sorry if this has sort of been asked before :roll:

I have put my first ever car into kwikfit for an AC test (the other half did really).. it leaks, unknown source :twisted:
I have never worked on AC ..

I can say that during my engine out/in summer 2008 I would have disconnected the compressor, and also due to a slight altercation later...

If you are in the area of these guys , I used them a few years ago for what could have been a very expensive job (recomissioning the A/C on my E-type which had not been used for 20 years). Their pricing was transparent and reasonable. They were simply very good to deal with.

Hi folks.

I found a leak on my Xantia AC and got it fixed. I changed the dryer unit as well, knowing the system had been 'open' for a few months so I thought it was a good precautionary measure. I then took the car to Kwik Fit to get it regassed, knowing that if it leaked again I wouldn't get charged.

Anyway I got it regassed, and it worked for...

Yes sorry, I meant to say that it was the low pressure pipe! Where am I best looking for a replacement pipe? I was thinking of a scrappers but it's surprisingly difficult to find this pipe, which is pretty annoying.

Hi Forum

Can anyone advise me on what i should do with my Harisson compressor (Citroen Xantia Turbo diesel) that was leaking from where the two halves meet? It now is too bad to fill the sytem, so the A/C is kaput.

Are the seals replaceable?

or should I just replace the compressor?

Thanks

54 1.5dci Scenic. When I hit the a/c switch there is a little click (relay?) and nothing else. Revs don't drop and temperature stays the same. Assuming French a/c is fairly similar does anyone have a clue where to start as all my other a/c cars worked? :(

Had it regassed at Kwik Fit! :shock: and it now works. 49 quid all in. :)

Thanks for advice so far, unfortunately I have very little experience when it comes to AC systems so wouldn't know where to look.

Never sectioned one but rumor has it that the dryer contains silica gel and when it gets saturated the containing bag bursts and the resultant mess gets spread all round the system. This then overloads the compressor and burns it out. Chances are the system is then inadequately flushed and the residual debris slowly works round the system then...
