Hi All,

Well after purchasing the 260 i gave her a massive overhaul taking her apart and putting her back together and she was running amazingly, or so i thought.

Yesterday the Air Conditioning pump gave up as it seems is usual with the 260 even though there was no whine and it was free when i tested it the other week.

My Question is can anyone recommend the correct replacement procedure and a competent Air Con specialist near Grantham, Lincolnshire to Vacuum the system and then re-gas as i hate Kwik-Fit and Halfrauds?

From doing this on other cars i believe i will need to replace the condenser and get the new pump? Is this correct?
Also i see it should only have 120ml of all in it so should i empty the oil from the pump before fitting or will this be done when re-gassing?

I appreciate all help and advise given

Cheers

John

Hi John,

Compressortech in Warwick do a refurb service and have dealt with some of our members over the years:

It's always best to replace the condenser at the same time, they can be sourced from Jules on here for about £50.

Whoever recharges the system should drain the system, flush it and then add the correct amount of oil to the recharge.

Would agree with Compressortech. They had a compressor in stock a few weeks ago when mine was there. Ask for either Steve or Mark.
