  • AC pipe hole

    So I had a dual battery system fitted and now the AC pipe that was moved has rubbed up against the brake line one too many times. Monday it started to leak. Upon looking under my bonnet they have so many pipes/hoses strapped together with cable ties. Does anyone have any good ideas as to how I fix the problem with hoses and AC pipes that have been tied together as I dont want any more hoses bursting ! The AC pipe is going to cost me a fourtune

    I'd suggest going back to the shop that did said work. It's poor workmanship and they would be liable for repair.

      Piggy's spot on, there should be nothing in contact with the air con hoses apart from their support brackets etc. Cable ties etc will wear through the thin tubing causing leaks as will anything else rubbing on the pipe work.

          The brake line is near the suspension under the drivers side wheel arch it comes up under the wheel arch to the engine bay. The brake line bracket has caused the problem

                  I would be checking. If the company bought out the old company they may still have a duty of care to existing clients and workmanship.

                  If not. Then you have a choice of yours states consumer affairs centre.
                  And the leaving of suitable reviews around the web for them.

                      I did this to my AC pipe also. Unfortunately I only have myself to blame but sometimes that's a better option.

                      My only suggestion is to buy a genuine part from Toyota. Ensure the correct part by comparing Toyota part number drawings with the pipe you have damaged.
                      There are a few different parts to the system and multiple systems depending on your model.
                      Mine cost me $650.
                      Find a reputable radiator specialist and talk to them about the repairs. If they are good they should have done something similar in the past. They will recall in horror when they see the job, but the good news is, it comes out and goes back in surprisingly well.
                      I saved on labour cost by disconnecting and removing and then reinstalling the new pipe. I had to google the pipe connection and I had a helper for when the pipe came out and in again, the radiator mob gassed it up and it's all good so far.
                      I downsized my battery size and modified my homemade tray to put no stress or deviation from the original AC pipe route.
                      Good Luck

                        Mine is leaking on the stressed pipe under the brake reservoir. If you follow the pipe from the battery tray connection, there should be a 5mm pipe that protrudes upward in the area under the brake fluid reservoir. It’s a male-female connection that is crimped. It’s difficult to see and the air filter box needed to be removed. That’s where mine is leaking. It’s cost nearly $750 on finding the leak (2 garages out in the sticks) so far and a quote from Toyota of $3k for the job.

                        From what I can see, that air con pipe that is repositioned and stressed runs all the way to the back AC over exhaust brackets etc, so a job that requires expletives.
