Does anyone have access to the EPER parts lists. I need to order the Air Con seal kit and would like the part number please.

My AC system seems to always vac down fine and holds pressure, but only for about ten months of the year crazy

I have already fitted another compressor and that didn't fix it so I am going to fit a new Condenser (because it's a little rusty) & Receiver - Drier so want to replace all the seals too.

Thanks

Bob

Thanks John... sadly, no 16v info, just the stuff that's common to the 20.

I've got a load of spare aircon seals. If you can tell me the size and quantity i'll post them to you. Simon

You could also try putting new schraeder values on the service ports - if they leak they might not show up on a pressure or vacuum testunless the service connectors are taken off.

I got a price a while back for this seal kit and it was very expensive. You can get universal seal kits for much less.

Bob - the air con seal kit I bought from Fiat last year (at quite a price!) contained many seals but few that actually matched up size wise with those on my Plus' air con system so either I ordered the wrong part number or the kit is a dud, so you might want to think about sourcing them from elsewhere according to the exact sizes fitted to your car.

550 isnt enough for the coupe system.
The machine will retain on average 200g in the pipes.
When recovering the pipes after a gas,the common figures are between 150-200g.
So i always gas 800g which puts 500g in the system.

Bob,have you used a tracker dye to see where its leaking from?

I do mine with separate gauges and manual scales. That way you can put gas through them before you open the final sort into the system and then measure the volume of gas going in. 500g is then fine!

sounds like your charging system same as me , purge all your flexible pipe work upto the service valves then put in the weighed ammount into the system to fiats spec 550g ,anyway when i get some gas will let you know how i get on.
