306 hdi air con - scfc_151
Just got the car back and the mechanics told me that he found a leak on the metal hose that runs in front on the radiator where the bracket is ( i know thats the weak point on these cars)

I just wanted some advise for when it goes back in a couple of weeks. The car is 2001 (y) so id love to have the air con working. Obviously theres a posibility that there may be more than one leak so wheres the best place to get the pipes from etc and what sort of cost am i looking at with the hope that the rest is ok?

I think that pug dealers are ok on prices for ac pipes. Getting them made up might not save you much (not like on bmw for eg)

Change the dryer, get it vacuumed and pressure tested.

As mark99 says, just get them from the dealer. The condensor is about due to leak as well I should think. Oh, and the radiator.
