    RS2 Aircon Low Pressure Valve?

    On my '94 RS2 does anyone know where I can find the low pressure coupling valve to re-gas the air con, if there is indeed one? I have found the high pressure one in front of the rad.

    Thanks

    Search the Heating and Ventilation forum and i guess you should be able to find the answer.



    For example. Good luck, as i'm still trying to fix mine since all the gas leaked out.

      The S2 does have a low pressure port, but it's tucked away on the compressor IIRC and not able to take a standard low pressure fitting. (dealer told me that, make your own mind up as to the truth of it )
      Had mine re-gassed/disinfected 2 weeks ago, and it was all done on the high pressure port at the top of/in front of the aircon condenser.

            If the system is ok you fill it via the HP conection. If the dryer is blocked you will have problems. A tip: Charging hoses have exact same treads as the conector on the compresor. All you have to do is turn the hose (hose on the charging machine) around. On one side is a pin that oipens the nonreturn valve an that allows you the charging on both sides.

            Andother trick: The conecting hose also fits the tread of the high presure svitch at the R12 system.
