Air conditioning seals - replacing

I have a leaky air con system & so I have bought a seal kit - a bunch of brown coloured o-rings - can anyone offer advice on fitting these? Do I just make my way round each and every join and replace the seal? I can't find a guide anywhere, and it seems like a daunting task!

Any help greatly appreciated!

If it's as simple as removing the air con system was it won't be difficult. There aren't many joins anyway so I think your approach will be fine

Thank you, that’s reassuring. Perhaps my kit comes with surplus o-rings ‘cos there’s about 20 of them :confused:?!

Two on pump, two on rad, two on condensor (I think it's completely separately piped even though attached to rad) two to bulkhead. Think that's it

Not too bad then, hope there’s suitable rings in here ^

I started this the other day, and just out of interest there are actually 4 at the bulkhead - there’s some kind of metal block (pressure relief valve or summat perhaps?) with two pipes in and two out, each with an o-ring. This is where I had initially spotted leakiness, so have only done these so far. I might go get it pressure checked cos I can’t be bothered doing all the others :cautious:.

Thread bump! Is there a diagram of all the seals and where they go on the system?
