So mine is leaking , anyone got a spare one for sale

Or know of a decent brand that i could purchase ? Audi item is near £450 and ebay cheap ones look like they may be rubbish and not last very long

Anyone else replaced one recently ?

Cheers

Mine's got a suspect leak too. I've got a better looking one off a scrapper, so we'll see how well it works with that fitted. Otherwise I'll be in the same boat as you.

I've just replaced mine with one from Here

The first one arrived well packaged but with the threads for the two sensors badly chewed up and some of the gills broken. A quick phone call had a replacement one on the way which arrived a couple of days later with the duff one collected at the same time.

The second one is much better but the filler is on a slightly different angle to the OE one meaning I had to remove the headlight trim to let Kwak Fit refill the system.

Total price including delivery worked out at £116.97

I also replaced the receiver dryer and thermal expansion valve at the same time with parts from the same place. No problem with the dryer but the expansion valve was a bit different from the OE one I removed and had to be fitted back to front.

Although it might sound like this firm isn't supplying top quality parts first time I do at least now have working climate for the first time since I bought the car and they were very good about replacing the damaged condenser without a quibble.

Try here for condenser, http://www.autoairconparts.co.uk/Audi-A6-2.5-Tdi-Diesel-Man/Auto-Jan-95-to-Oct-97-Car-air-conditioning-compressors-pumps-aircon-radiators-and-more/

I replaced mine and found it was a good quality part. Was about £85.

In the end was not my air-con system , was the pipes going to the power steering cooler that runs right next to it , must have been knocked when the cam-belts were done , they were a bit loose , so replaced 2 clips and all working fine , air-con works and no leaks

The power steering fluid and the air-con oil is the same colour
