Car air conditioning pipe repair

Hi, I have a leaky air conditioning pipe under my car, it is leading the air conditioning fluid

Has anyone got any recommendations for a pipe repair that is cheap as the car isn't worth too much !

If you are seeing small pools of liquid under your car when the air on is on that is nothing to worry about. What that is it just condensation build up being expelled from the refrigerator unit and it is designed to do that. The stuff that makes aircon work is actually a gas so if that leaks it won't leave any trace.

The refrigerant is a volatile gas under pressure (so liquid).

If there's a leak it vents off as gas.

A recharge includes a pressure test of the system.

This will identify any leaks.

£50 would cover most cars for a test and re-charge, except mine which has the new spec gas which costs £150

Are you sure that it's not just condensation? The systems are filled with gas and not liquid. When it's warm you will get water coming out and is nothing to worry about

The liquid was some kind of dye that shows up after I had a failed regas attempt by the local garage. It held the cool air for a day or so then back to hot. The garage said they don't do air conditioning repairs and to go to a specialist.

Is it a pipe that's gone or is it just a seal that's rotted ,if seal they only cost a couple of quid and you need a tool to release the pipe which again are quite cheap to buy

If the pipe has rotted though it needs to be replaced, probably have to get the part from a main dealer though.
