oes sd510 Hi all Well yesterday I had my ac re oiled (Poe)and re gassed (r134a)and it was great for an hour or so then the compressor started rattling and stop cooling. Any ideas why it would pack up? It's a sd 510 , is there a better compressor I could replace it with, without changing the plumbing? Cheers Mike |

Dear Michael, first things first. We will assume the following and you tell us if these assumptions are right or wrong: 1- that the car previously had R134a gas in it. 2- That the oil used is compatible with the oil that was in the system previously. 3-That the oil you used this time is made for R134a gas 4- That the system was pressurised without overpressurising the system. 5- That the technician introduced gas into the system - not liquid (by inverting the bottle to allow liquid to flow straight in). When we have answers to these we can proceed. however - its not looking good from what you describe. Has the receiver drier ever been replaced in your ownership? |

Michael, the compressor will rattle if the gas pressure falls and cooling will cease. There may be a leak somewhere, not necessarily the compressor. A similar problem has happened with my 1983 Mulsanne and a check with pressure gauges has revealed a loss of pressure overnight. Mark |

Hi Omar and Mark Thanks Mark that would be a good result, I'll get it checked. Omar the system was empty, I'm quite sure it had r12 in it many moons ago. I changed the dryer. Poe oil that said suitable for r134a. The technician was very careful only putting minimum gas in. Thanks Mike |

Dear Michael, Mark is of course right. make sure you have enough gas in it because there is a low pressure cut-off that stops the compressor from engaging if there is insufficient gas. This is in order to protect it from running when there is no gas in the system (and hence oil). If you establish that the gas has escaped, its pointless just topping up the gas - cure the leak first. Let us know when you establish the pressures at suction and discharge. Thanks Omar |

Hi Both I have borrowed a low side pressure guage and your dead right ! I get 0 psi when running that climbs to 55psi when engine stopped. So all I need to do now is find a leak, hopefully better than shredded compressor throughout my system! Many thanks I can sleep better tonight, well maybe. Many thanks Mike |

Dear Michael, When testing for leaks dont forget the (often overlooked) schraeder valves as they could well be the source of leaks. The hardest leaks to find are the compressor pulley seal and the evaporator. All other components are very easy. Good luck. Omar |

Michael, The flexible hoses used for R12 A/C systems are prone to leakage if later used with R134A refrigerant as the R134A molecules are much smaller than the R12 molecules and accordingly are able to diffuse out of the flexible hoses. These leaks will not be evident from a dye test - been there and done that with my 4WD R12 system. By coincidence, the 4WD was due for its annual road worthiness check last Monday and I was chatting to the owner and mentioned I was going to get him to replace the flexible hoses to stop the refrigerant loss and he mentioned a new LPG based refrigerant had just been approved for automotive use and was ideal for old R12 systems as it did not diffuse through the R12 hoses like R134A. He mentioned the type number which I think was R406 but cannot be certain however he informed me he was able to recharge the R12 system legally with this refrigerant. Does anyone know more about this refrigerant substitution in R12 systems? |

Hi David, here in Canada it is called Duracool. It is available at most auto supply stores. I have used it for a few years now in both my own cars and clients. I have had no problems with it at all. It cools very well, much better than 134A. Doesn't leak out in R12 hoses. SRC18015 SRE22493 NAC-05370 www.bristolmotors.com |

Hi Jim, Thanks for your input - very happy I can get my A/C working again without the exorbitant expense of having R134-compatible hoses and associated swaged pipe fittings custom made and then having to pull half the engine bay apart to replace them. Our winter season has just started very late and I will get the system regassed in late September ready for Summer. Only downside is I will no longer have my mobile sauna to keep my weight down!!! |

Hi All again I need some info , a while ago someone said there are valves that block up in the system that can and should be removed and chucked, prefilled valves? for assembly line? and I can't find them. It now appears I have no leak but the compressor is forming a vacuum on the low side, possibly a blockage somewhere? Cheers Mike |

Michael, that is interesting,. My wife has a 1988 Bentley 8 which the aircon does not work on and exhibits exactly the same fault that you describe.The gas quantities in this are correct, and there is no leak. We have not solved this one yet and thus please let me know your findings. The pressures are 170 psi high side and around 0 lowside with the engine at 1000 rpm RS24 gas( a direct substitute for r12).

It was Paul Yorke who highlighted the in-line non-return-valves. These are often potential blockage points and could well be the source of your problems. The downside here is that you will have to lose the gas charge to get to them. The way to find these is as follows: firstly there are several of them in the system and secondly, they vary in location form model to model. The aluminium pipes have connections at the ends of the pipes to connect to components. when you look at the connections there will be a strange connector that almost looks out of place if you were simply designing a method of connecting a pipe to another component. These strange little things (about 1"long) are the in line valves. take these off and throw away the internal parts to ensure you simply have a hollow connector when you are done with it. Then reconnect the system without the internal parts of the valves and hopefully you will have a system that no longer has blockages. Good luck. Omar |

Yes. How many of these have you got? Someone once explained that these valves were used during initial build to ensure certain sections remained under pressure as the components were being assembled. I am sure the absolute details will be volunteered by more informed people later on in this thread. |

Hi All Well I found the service valves( 8 off )and the conical filter, what a damn idiotic stupid place to put a stupid little filter that must block up regularly! (See pic 2) It's in the pipe that joins the txv on the bulkhead almost impossible to get at and a real pain in the backside to get back in. (arrowed in pic 1) Never doing that again I'll do without aircon first! If your going to do it ,HIDE THE HAMMERS !

Mike, The filter does not appear on the parts list pre chassis 24497 (my wifes car is 22684). Is the filter between the valve and the evaporator, or the pipe and the evaporator ? I wonder if it is fitted to later cars to cure a problem; and create another . Mark |

Hi Mark It is between the aluminium pipe and the valve (well it was on mine). Quote "I wonder if it is fitted to later cars to cure a problem; and create another" , you could well be right. The txv is a different number too but looks the same. But your wifes car has the same symtoms so I'm sure there's a blockage somwhere. Good luck Mike |

Omar it is the expansion valve UR70281 on the library parts diagram .I bet the filter on the later cars is to cure a blockage issue on early cars. Mark |

Mark... Side topic...where is the "library parts diagram" you alluded to in your message of 14 June at 3:48? I would certainly like to find just that reference for research regarding all the problems I am having with my recent acquisition, SRK37338. Thank you. |

Christian, There is a Spirit Spare Parts manual in the Technical Library: http://rrtechnical.info/sz/tsd6167/start.pdf The list is in a PDF format for downloading. |

Christian, I was referring to the Rolls Royce and Bentley technical library .The parts lists show the assembly diagrams and part numbers. http://rrtechnical.info/ I sympathise with the problems you are having, every car I have bought with a good service history has ended up having work redone due to less than acceptable repairs.

Mark and David... Thanks to both of you. This is embarassing, as apparently senility is creeping up on me. I would swear that in search of the parts manaul, that I specifically went to the "004" section of the library for pre-30,000 chassis, but did not see the part manual there...I swear! I just checked, and lo and behold, there it is! Now I would like to assert that someone is playing tricks on me, but will also have to accept that I previously looked right at it, and did not see it! Bad me! Now that I KNOW that it is there, next time I seek it, but cannot find it, I will take a nap and then try again later, when my brain and eyes are not fooling with me...! Christian |

Mike just stripped aircon system, blockage was at conical filter and the receiver /drier seems to be source of filth! I have ordered a new receiver /drier, but did you refit the filter ? Mark |
