Removing the air con rad

(1/4) > >>

Jake:
Apart from it not working any more what would happen when i remove the air con radiator?
Will fluid or gas escape everywhere?
How can i prevent/stop/block this?
My air con does'nt work and the air con rad is blocking air flow to my cooling rad and the car keeps over heating on long journeys
(yes i know i should clean my rad out after off roading but its differcult with the air con rad in the way)
Any tips or typed help?
 :D

Range Rover Blues:
There are places you can get the gas recovered and disposed of.  The carefully remove the parts and sell themon E-Blag.

Jake:
I'm only planning on removing the radiator.
I will re-fit it at a later date (when i have a new cooling radiator)
Is it safe to just remove the air con radiator or is there any danger?
i.e from the gasses?
 :?

TimM:
If your air con doesn't work then chances are there is no gass in it anymore, but best to get a 'professional' opinion first.

Try giving a local aircon firm a quick call, if your lucky and only after a bit of advice, they might be quite useful  :wink:

Jake:
The reason the air con is'nt working is that the belt is missing.
The bearings failed and the belt wore away.
