Doesn't K Seal require a high temperature to start working?

You could try one of these stop leak things for air con but they don't usually work and you need a tool to inject it. K seal won't be any good for air con.

Proper repair I'm afraid.

 

What next - k seal in tyres?

Oh Matt!

 

(I know Matt, the OP, for the information of readers of this thread :) .)

 

You need to attend the local monthly meets, Matt, where we can explain & discuss what to do to fix shit like this with you.... We could have sorted this in 5 mins face-to-face yesterday evening, and it's always good to meet you :) .

 

However, any decent anonymous net scribe will tell you to take Brian the 25 to an air con specialist. Said specialist will drain Brian's air con and vacuum test it (clearly a vacuum test  will show a leak because it won't be possible to achieve near-vacuum in Brian's AC system because the sytem needs regassing after a day or so ;) ); (s)he will then pressurise the system with Nitrogen plus a fluorescent agent, then run the AC and use a UV light to check for the leak(s)... (S)he will then fix the leaks, pressurise the system with Nitrogen and check for pressure drop indicating a leak (or leaks), find no leakage (ideally ;) or rinse & repeat until the system is sealed) then replace the Nitrogen with the relevant chemical - and Brian's AC will work like a dream...

 

PS K-seal won't work. You can't do this one on the cheap, Matt! ;)

Air con? What devilry is this you're afflicted with? Open the window for Heaven's sake!

Lol.theres a 6 page long thread over on 1 of the P38 forums about someone suffering from lack of aircon.

People go into great detail about how to check various electrical problems which can affect the Hevas system.

Everything from testing the ice warning sensor,to pulling the blend motors out of the dash.........

Someone asks if the correct length drivebelt is fitted as 1 too slack will slip

 

 

 

 

Drivebelt? ???? Asks the OP..........

I think cracking an egg open and throwing the contents into the air vents or something will definitely work.
