Just tried to order condenser high pressure pipe for my 2000 Pug 406 and
told it's obsolete. *******s. The existing one is leaking where the pipe meets the flange that bolts onto the condenser. It's ali. Just trying to figure out my options. Obviously finding somewhere that has a new one in stock would be best but Pug don't have a system for finding what dealerships have what items in stock so it means phoning round all of them (and probably tooling off across the country to pick one up if I do find it). Or finding one at a breakers and getting it off without buggering it. Or getting the leak repaired. Is it possible to weld ali? Where would I find someone who can? Or bodging up a different way of connecting to the condenser. (Why don't they just use flares ffs?!) Thoughts? -- John Stumbles If atheism is a religion then "off" is a TV channel |
