    possible causes why the aricon is not functioning.

    At the moment I am do a major maintenance. During my maitenance I noticed some strange things on my aircon system, Which, in my opinion is not correct.

    The first I noticed was that the hose which runs from the pump the radiator is almost flat, is just look if someone has hit it for a few times with a hamer:

    The other thing I noticed was that, on top of the aircon radiator, you have 3 connections, I only have 2 plugs which are connected, I dont see a third one

      as long as the pipe is not completely crushed it should be ok,the 3 rd connecter looks like a guage line port and should have a plastic cap its for checking the high pressure side of the air con
      my other half is an aircon engineer so any advise please ask
      skint but fast

          this IS the high pressure connection, it is a valve for putting the AC equipment onto. You do need it, it isnt connected to anything normally. Its just like the valve for a tyre
