Hi all,

 

Back to the group after several years away, now a 2 car Skoda family!

 

The AC on the wife's 68 plate Citigo had recently stopped working, and we had it regassed with dye as my local independant garage thought there could be a suspected leak.

 

It turns out that there is, however it appears to be coming out at the junction of where both the condenser and the lower AC pipe meet. Not wanting to have to potentially do the job twice I was thinking about replacing both.

I can source a replacement condenser relatively cheaply, however as I couldn't find the Skoda PN for the pipe I called TPS and was quoted 278 plus the VAT!   

 

Would anyone be able to confirm the VAG PN for this pipe?  For a length of aluminium tube it sounds excessively high, and wondered if it were available elsewhere!

 

I 'think' it may be 1S0820741B, but what I do know is that it's the lower of the two AC pipes..

 

Thanks
Dean

Share the reg number or VIN with me and I can look it up for you.

From experience of a different model, surely a leak at a junction between a pipe and a component is most likely to simply require a replacement o-ring?
