Hi everyone.
Our Tm is struggling holding its gas. We have found the problem and it looks to be coming out the pipe which goes out the pump to the receiver drier filter. It looks to be coming out the valve which you put the air con fittings on to put the gas bottles/gauges onto.
Does anyone know if you can fit new valves inside the inlet/outlet of the air con pipes or do I need a new pipe to stop this. The inside of the coupling on the pipe is threaded so I just wondered wether it could be unscrewed and a new valve put in.
Any help is really appreciated as it's been gassed 3 times now this season and it's rather warm as everyone knows. PS when is it going to rain........
thanks
Mark

If its the guts of the valve like i think it is it's just a tyre valve. Unscrew and replace.

Of course unless you have a fancy gadget to do it your gonna lose all the gas so best to get a decent aircon man to do it.

Valves are replaceable no probs.

Make sure the service valve caps have an o-ring in them . Cant always 100% guarantee the scraeders totally seal.

Will ap air happily deal with anyone? Notice their website says trade only.
I need a drier for our combine and they are exactly a quarter of the claas price!
Just wondering before I try them.
Never had a problem before.
You're in business aren't you?
That's trade

I rang them up and they said the pipe would have to come from America and it would be 4-5 weeks delivery, since then I have found some valves on eBay in a set so I'm hoping one of them will screw in and replace this one. Our cap hasn't got an o-ring inside it's just plastic.
