I know you can get a new valve for the low pressure valve to the side of the plenum, looks similar to a tyre valve, but the high pressure valve behind the radiator looks like a ball bearing instead of a valve.
I have been up Vauxhall who can't tell me the part I need for the front one :-?

So does anyone have a part number or do I need to get the whole pipe from the condenser to the air con pump?

Cheers

[markey mark]

think its the whole pipe daz

As & when/if I ever give my garage a tidy out, the old one might still be around ( it was only Christmas when I had my A/C sorted out) but that number will definitely unscrew from the pipe .....
unless of cousre different years have the valve as part & parcel of the pipe.  :-/  :-/  :-/

But I was under the impression you see that the black cap stops the valves leaking :-?

Captain has sorted me with all the part numbers too Andy but thanks Andy 

Going to swap my Condensor too so will get the o rings too

 .......

they can only help cos you have to remove the cap in the first place to fill via the valve.

Ok fair point

Must be dodgy aircon week as mine has stopped working too.
Time to pay the aircon man a visit methinks.

[Darth Loo-knee]

Suppose there will be a few more before long when the nice weather eventually gets here

Get Pete to buy you the kit and we can set up as aircon fitters before the rush.

Well, while your A/C is gasless, just to prove a point for the Daz, you could unscrew the HP fill valve.

Its a sort of 15mm fitting.......I say sort of cos its a tight fit, i believe its a 'special' socket required

Pretty sure I just used an ordinary 15mm socket, possibly 6 sided rather than a 12 point.
