Hi,
I have a 96 wagon and would like to try and get the air con working.
There are some known recently working parts available from a smashed Lexcen that had nice cold air prior to it being crashed.
Parts like the compressor if mine is no good.
My wagon is unknown, as in when the air last worked and this car has done a lot of klms.
What I am looking for is some advise on what to replace, and maybe the best place to purchase the required items prior to taking it to an air-con specialist for gas etc.
After reading some threads here, it seems there are many places leaks can be and I dare say the air system would need some new parts like the receiver/ drier and maybe the pipes that connect to it.
Are there any other parts that should be replaced that are common faults?
Everything is still connected as it should be with a visual inspection, but the engine has been changed and at this time any gas in the system was lost. (not that the air con worked prior engine change) but there was a small hiss when I pressed on the test/filler valve.
Any advice appreciated, because if I drove the thing in to get it fixed without doing some work myself they would prolly charge me more than the car is worth. lol
