HI All,



Please help to advise the name of this part !



If you sit on the car, it’s on the left hand side of the engine and it’s close to the power steering pump. I’m in Hong Kong and it’s a left hand drive car W202 C230K – 1997.

After a garage replaced the generator a few months ago, I just find out that this ( ?) part is not screwed up correctly and it’s leaking oil. The screw looks not easy to be tighten up !



Thanks ALL !

A picture from further away would be helpful. It is difficult to get an idea with the current picture.

The unknown part lay near the bottom of the car and I can’t find a good angle to take a good shot of it. That’s the best photo I took and the unknown to me creature located on top of the A/C compressor and under the power steering reservoir’s cap.

Sorry about that and thanks for trying to help me out !

It’s the air conditioning suction hose. It has a charging port on it, the low pressure charging port. It is attached to the air conditioning compressor with a single bolt.

Thanks Uncle ! Will try to look at it again. I think when repalcing the A/C Compreesor a few months ago, the garage must be in a hurry ( try to find a good reason for him ! ) and did not screw properly with the single bolt ! It's leaking. Will try to tighten it up but the space there it's really very very tight !

Thanks again Uncle !

What colour is the leaking liquid..?
If it is to do with air-conditioning, then I think it will be a push-fit rather than screw-in.

Leaks there have no color, just wet !

There is a screw there didn’t seem to tie up good and will try to push it down tomorrow . But as said, the space there is very tight n most likely that I can’t reach there and try to push it down.

Thanks Mattkh

The name is as mentioned above, it is the A/C hose connected to the compressor.
My research shows that there is a O-ring at the end of the hose, which is leaking. You need to get a new O-ring.
I recommend you leave the job for your A/C garage to do.
Regards.
