  • More aircon issue's £900 to replace all pressure hoses

    Always knew it was a risk buying a car that's not been sat and not driven!

    So far..... replaced condenser, all new seals, dryer and compressor! That's cost about £400 using hella brand.

    Still have a leaking compressor to dryer hose! £300 (BMW)

    BMW price is £900 inc VAT nowadays to change all four lines including valves.

    have seen a different Vemo branded condenser/dryer hose from Auto doc £35 plus postage (BMW was £262 inc VAT)

    Decisions!!??? Prob best to change the lot hey?

    Glad the car drives great tho :)

      Yeah that's the one you can buy new of auto doc new for £35

      Bee Cool Air Condition in Kettering have just call to say they've successfully repaired my old one by welding a pin hole and removing other corrosion and welding another peice in! Will have to do for now!

      Have a road trip planned this sat so it's a rush job!!

      Just hope it's only this pipe that's prone to go wrong!

        This is the culprit! This is point of pipe that passes through rubber mount and holds moisture and dirt against the pipe!
