Hi, I just had my a/c sorted out, it uses a dual pipe assy for linking compressor to condenser and system. If its the same as mine (year 2000

406 ), the cost of pipe is £32 +vat, but fitting it needs a special tool. Best bet is to order the pipes and take them to the local a/c man and have him fit them and re-gass. 1.5 hrs and gas =£155. + pipes cost. T.

Just to add. The early pipes to the compressor were seperate, but now they have superceded them to one single assembly. If you are careful you can get the pipes apart with three thin screwdrivers, depending on accessibility, and how dextrous you are!!. Always renew any seals, and do the job as quickly as possible to prevent too much "damp" air getting into the system, especially if you have a dryer in the circuit.
