Suggestion · Original poster
A vac test shows a very minor leak (5 minutes to loose the vac) so the compressor looks like it needs replacing but before doing that the whole system was inspected from underneath and a victim of a car jack accident was found in front of the os rear wheel.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The last part of my restoration project is to get the ac working. It's had new rads (condensers) and a new receiver drier with the joints receiving new o rings. A vac test shows a very minor leak (5 minutes to loose the vac) so the compressor looks like it needs replacing but before doing that the whole system was inspected from underneath and a victim of a car jack accident was found in front of the os rear wheel. The pressure side pipe has been damaged by either the car slipping off a jack or the jack not being positioned correctly. The parts manual has been consulted but the diagrams do not really correspond to my car. So the question is where can about 150mm of ac metal pipe be sourced so I can rule this out as the reason for the tiny leak before buying an exchange compressor? Has anyone ever had this work done? If so where ?

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
