Its the pipes the radiator is low down. They rott at the brackets and cost a bomb to replace. Fill yours up. It may hold charge. Mine did.  ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

You can't hear it click because the compressor only kicks in when there is enough of a vacuum in th system. If there is no gas, it will ruin the compressor |

The pipe that goes you can see come out of the compressor at the back if you peer down between the radiator and inlet manifold. Basically it gets salt on it during winter and it just gets in between the rubber part of the mounting bracket and the pipe and corrodes. It about 90 quid from pug. Factor in new o rings when you remove the bracket on the back of the compressor it holds down both pipes. Also 2 smaller ones where the pipe joins on to the condenser. If your dryer hasnt been changed in the last few years replace that too for about 20 quid from ECP and new o rings there. Pug will supply o rings just look at the exploded diagram for the ones you need. Then get it re gased.________________________________________ Team Peugeot Sport 308 Gti�Black T'99 Gti - may she rest in peace - written off in a shunt on the A329m |

The compressor will not engage due to low pressure, or any pressure at all if completely empty. Hence the no clicking. ________________________________________ Team Nile 6 Team: 40.2 MPG 5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™  I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness  |
