Disco 3 (LR3) Air con

hi

am trying to get all the little jobs done as an ideal time as i’m taking inner arches , panels out as i progress whilst doing my front struts

my aircon has a leak somewhere, haven’t got the rear aircon fitted

was just wondering on the off chance if there’s any favourite places they leak plse, ie a particular O ring within a certain area

seeing 80% if the pipes are hidden i’ve been trying to find a schematic of the route the pipes take and wondering if anyone may have one and be so kind to post it up here plse , hopefully showing where the connection unions are etc

many thks as always in advance

Any pipe joint that isn't gas tight.

Leaks, might be a few of them, , seeing they are so well hidden i think half the battle is finding them, lol

just trying to see if i can fix the leaks prior to getting it recharged and save some cash , can only but try

many thks appreciate the link

Best get it recharged with a uv dye in it. Then any leaks show up easily when you shine a uv light over it, best done at night. Did that with mine and confirmed my suspicions that the compressor was leaking.
