Hi guys, I was wondering how many of you have working AC in your 306's? I'm going to try and get it working in my '6. It looks like a previous owner has made modifications to the pipes by replacing with rubber hoses so hopefully it'll just need a condenser and a regas. I've managed to get it working on my Dturbo, estate and my girlfriends 206. |

I never tried to fix mine and get the feeling about 95+ percent tolerate it not working or tear it out. For the 1 month a year it was an issue I just put the window down lol.In hindsight it probably would've been better to fix it with pirtek type hoses rather than the expensive oe pipes. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

The OE ones are no longer available. Some new old stock sometimes pop up on eBay once in a blue moon. Pirtek in Watford didn't want to know when the OS pipe broke on my Dturbo. I should have printed of that post someone put up for them to work off as a guide. |

In hindsight it probably would've been better to fix it with pirtek type hoses rather than the expensive oe pipes. It's useful all year, enabling faster de-misting, etc. There was a group buy of Spanish made OE copies with no clamps many years ago. I got a set, lacquered them and fitted using rubber covered stainless steel P clips and it's just stopped working again. I'll get some dye put in and find the leak. I've built up quite a collection of brand new spares including side skirts, a gearbox, condenser, and air-con pipes to name a few. ________________________________________ S Reg Diablo standardsSpec SORNEDR Reg Nile standard spec written off then repaired X Reg Astor in need of TLC R Reg Nile to restore Set of Lions to fit. |

I re-gassed mine only to find that it leaks - it sounds as though it's coming from behind the dash, so I know it'll be A.) A sod to fix, and B.) Probably very expensive. I'll probably get the system removed and fit the aux belt system from a Rallye when my cambelt is due again.________________________________________ 2000 W Phase 3 Moonstone. |

Mine works a treat although the pump has a little leak so I will replace that. I repaired the pipe myself by digging out the hole and rrwelding________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Welshpug - Both the belts were done at the same time, so I don't see the point in swapping the Aux belt over whilst they're still fairly new. I'm used to not having AC in this, so whilst it would be a nice thing to have, it's not critical. Rather wind down the windows, enjoy the breeze and sound of the engine!________________________________________ 2000 W Phase 3 Moonstone. |
