Opel Combo 1.7CDTI



This van has new hoses for her air con compressor due to rupture. The reasons for hoses to fail is very obvious in the 2nd photo above. The condition of the compressor oil is bad, really bad.

After the hoses were replaced, the system was tested for stability and performance. It could still manage about 12 oC but the compressor was noisy. The old oil was no longer providing lubrication for the system.

After flushing and optimization, the 1st photo speaks for the result.

Once again, recommended settings are not close at all. If I have followed the recommended gas volume... I guess I could be having dead compressor for supper....
