A simple O ring question...

[Darrien]

Looks like I will have heaps of O rings spares!

Are you in Sydney MOS? which air con guy you went to?
I guess I will have to look around for an aircon specialist. I dont want it to leak again, such a headache.

Got a bunch from an air con guy - three different sizes, maybe 10 of each, on a cable tie (for free)

I definately want the O ring for Aircon, because when I did the 1JZ conversion, my mechanic replace them air con O rings with the normal black ones. That is why I am guessing the causes of leakage.

Dont want to fit those ebay O rings on then have it remove later on.

Best to have it leak tested after anyways... it will cost a few bucks more than just a gassing (which you will need to do after you change the orings) but you can easily pinch an oring or have a pinhole in a line.

EDIT: I agree with rollas, they look like standard Orings, or possibly high temp orings, certainly they dont look like specific AC ones. They specify that they work with oil and coolant, which isnt a good sign, as these fluids have different properties to AC gas/oil, and are likely to be able to destroy AC orings... seems some people will claim anything on e-ghey

"hi, do you have o-rings for aircon? are they any different to normal (nitrile) ones? what is the difference? do you keep them in stock or should i pull mine out and measure them, and get you to order? can you send by post if i am too far away?"



hooper bearings ftw

edit: thats their flashy new site..... almost making it into the 20th century

also, you can probably sell the o-ring set for almost as much as it cost

just called Hooperbearing, and very top bloke, very helpful. But he doesnt know which O rings are for aircon. he got 3 types of materials, and non are green. He also gave e a number to call to ask for O rings specialist! LOL, this is going beyond my expectation.

[Darrien]

I think my search is over.

Hooperbearing gave me the number
and just call it up, it got everything I need, they have specific O rings for aircon system and he said it is GREEN.

I just need to bring in the size and he can get it for me.

Yep, I am in Sydney. Can't remember which air con guy (was 3 years ago) but *any* air con guy should have the o-rings... but it looks like you've found the solution and passed it on
Mos.

all toyota dealers carry the air cond o/rings there is only 3 sizes which fits all toyota s the part numbers are as follows 90099 14119 9009914120 9009914121 from small to larger hope that helps clear up the problem

Something that should also be noted is that these o-rings should be lubricated with a special type of oil (one that goes in AC systems) when installed, they aren't supposed to be installed dry

now you tell me! LOL

already got it in there, but is WD40 alrite for lubrication?
guess i have to take it out and re do it!
I want to be sure sure that no leaking from O rings!~

[Dale]

Nup I don't think WD40 would do it, it needs to be the same oil that goes into the AC compressor... ask your local friendly auto elecy/AC place if they have any
