Harrison A/C Compressor seals

Unread post by lazza »

HI

I have managed to evacuate all the gas in the system, there didnt seem to be hardly any pressure anyway.

It seems quite easy to get the compressor off- Aux drive belt and four bolts, plus inlet and outlet of A/C system .. i think

Does anyone know where I could get hold of the seals to repair the aircon?

the main leak i think is in the middle of the compressor housing where the halves meet.

Thanks

I have bought compressor seal kits for other vehicles from http://www.polar-aircon.co.uk/ Their website is a bit clunky, so you might have to give them a call...

Thats an interesting discovery you have there.

I fitted a system from a T reg HDi Xantia to my L reg 1994 TD Xantia.. The system worked perfectly in the HDi, but after fitting it to my TD, with a new set of seals, I then discovered when I tightend up the Compressor mounting bolts the body Leaked as you found... but when I slacked them it stopped.

Ive aquired a solid body compressor now to swap over..

Let me/us know how you get on with the compressor.
