Bought the L&K 280 4x4 Recently and the Air con proved not to be working I took it to a local garage to do a leak test the system pressurised with nitrogen found a leak on the top pipe at the condenser, the pipe was a faf to wiggle off, the problem was corrosion in the hole of the condenser bridging the seal cleaned the hole out with 2000 wet and dry new "O" ring and a smear of pipe seal. Next job is the oil leak which looks to be the sealing ring/rubber on the Camshaft Magnet

Do you mind me asking what you paid - I have A/C on our Kodiaq that seems to be struggling at bit in the hot weather and the cost of refills with the R1234YF seems to be around £130 ish, which is quite a bit more than I paid for a regas previously

The garage who gassed it I worked for in the past so I got it at trade rate but still much more expensive than the older gas in the last car they did.

I seem to buy cars with air con faults

Yes the new type of gas this 1234 whatever, costs an arm and a leg compared to the older R134

Ours leaked about three years ago, in exactly the same place.
