A/C Low pressure pipe broken

Hi,

 

I don't know if anyone will know the answer to this, it is an uncommon problem by all accounts.

 

Bascically the Air con low pressure pipe has cracked and needs replacing, apparently it's the pipe that runs from the bulkhead to the compressor. Looking at it, it looks like a pig of a job and it is one continous pipe and its tucked away in the engine bay.

 

Nissan have quoted me £104 for the pipe and the labour will be at least several hours.

 

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, and if anyone knows if i can get the pipe or labour cheaper?

 

Sods Law that it happened before summer (thats if we have one!)

 

Thanks

Do you have a pic of the pipe in question? One of my ac pipes has a gaping hole in it, i think it may be the same one, and yes it looks like a nightmare to fit :(

Try having a supercharger in the way also :dry:

Mine is the thin pipe nearest the wheel arch, presumably the high pressure one.

 

Let me know how you get on as I have been putting mine off for a while now. :sun:
