AC retrofit adapters

Hello all,

My car has had no aircondition working for the last 2 years, and i also noticed , that the previously owner has installed a retrofit adapter on the low side of the AC.
Do i need a adapter for the high pressure side ? and is there a link to where i can puchase a set that will fit the ac llines ?

Best regards
Henrik.

Hi Henrik
I only ever use the low side myself. Most retrofit kits come with both but charging is only done on the low side. The parts are available on ebay from a number of sources.

Hi Joe,
And that’s why i asked,
I recently bought a retrofit from ebay , and that did not fit, the fittings were to big for the original fittings :frowning:
it was from ebay germany, where my car is originaly from, but no luck :frowning:

So My shop should have refilled My ac today. But the compressor has a leak on the compressor shaft seal :slightly_frowning_face:.
So i need to find a remanafactured fx 105 3 bolt compressor. Does anyone have a good source for getting one?

What size is the treads on the hoses in a 1993 car?

So i tracked the leak down to this part
closeup_leak_small

and i removed the valve, and there was a tear in the O-ring, so i replaced all 3, and reinstalled.
