Afternoon all

I have had a leak form the air con on my 2006 Saab 9-3 for a while. Leak seal and a re-gas seemed to do the trick but this week it stopped working again.

I have now found when I topped it up again that there is a leak from the low pressure valve you fill the system from. It looks very much like a tyre valve in a steel pipe.

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the valve insert like on a tyre valve or do I need a new rigid pipe?

Cheers

Yes the valve just unscrews but it will be cheaper & better for for the environment to get an ac specialist to do a proper pump down leak test and refill..

Its only a schrader valve have you tried tightening it up.

Thanks for the replies

I did have it tested last year and was told there were no leaks. If it's the valve I guess that makes sense since it would have been connected to the machine via the valve.

I will see if I can tighten it. If not off to a specialist to have it sorted.

Thanks
