    Question Air Conditioning Help!!!!!!!!

    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.
