Air con pipes

Post by jsalcar » Wed Oct 16, 2013 8:12 pm

Hello everyone,

My Bongo has an air con problem. One of the high pressure pipes that comes out of the radiator has a leak. It is the one that has a plastic cap with the letter H on it. Does anyone know where I can get a cheap replacement? I ask halfords for a quote and the guy said it would cost 250 just for the pipe :(

All help will be very much appreciated.

Thank you guys. It might be sorted...I think I found it on ebay although it is obviously used and it might last another 10 minutes :)

I´ll be back if the problem persists :)

Hello "amigos" I have now sorted this out, I think, it seems to work OK so far, fingers crossed. Thank you all for your help.
I have now some pipes from the whole system available as I didn´t need them (yet) so if someone needs any, please let me know.
Now I have another problem...:) the rear wheel has a leak and the guy at the garage said that I should get another wheel...any suggestions? Any one has one for sale?

Thanks again.
