Description
Air Conditioning Pipe Peugeot 308 3008 5008 RCZ Citroën C4 C4 Picasso. Slightly damaged but fully sealing and functional.
Product Overview
This A/C Pipe (Air Conditioning Line) is a direct-fit used part for a range of Stellantis vehicles from the Peugeot and Citroën families. Ideal for professional workshops and DIY mechanics searching by part number (e.g. 9684368380, 6477F4), the pipe restores refrigerant circuit integrity when original lines are leaking or mechanically deformed. The item is slightly deformed cosmetically but maintains full sealing performance and functionality.

Fitment And Notes
The pipe fits a number of petrol and diesel variants within the listed models—fitment may vary by engine version and production year. Always compare the shape, connections and mounting points of the replacement part with the original component before installation. This part is commonly sought by part number, so including the codes above in searches will improve findability.
Replacement Procedure
Recommended replacement steps for qualified technicians or experienced DIYers:
- Recover Refrigerant: Use approved recovery equipment to evacuate the refrigerant safely in accordance with local regulations.
- Prepare Work Area: Work on a cooled system; wear eye protection and gloves.
- Remove Old Pipe: Loosen fittings and clamps securing the line. Note position of brackets and clips for correct reinstallation.
- Replace Seals: Always fit new O-Rings or seals at each connection point; lubricate seals with the correct A/C oil for the vehicle’s refrigerant type.
- Install New Pipe: Fit the pipe, secure clamps and brackets, and torque fasteners to manufacturer recommendations where available.
- Evacuate And Recharge: Evacuate the system with a vacuum pump to remove moisture and air, then recharge with the manufacturer-specified refrigerant and oil charge.
- Leak And Function Test: Perform a pressure/leak test and verify cooling performance and system pressures during operation.
Typical job time ranges from approximately 1 to 2 hours depending on accessibility and required system work.
Why The Part Most Often Fails
A/C pipes commonly fail due to mechanical damage (impact or deformation), corrosion at metal joints, vibration fatigue, and degraded O-Rings or seals. Thermal cycling and road debris or minor collisions can bend or dent the pipe, compromising connection points. In many cases, the pipe body remains serviceable despite small deformations if sealing surfaces and fittings are intact—this is the condition of the offered part.
Installation Recommendations
- Always Replace O-Rings: Use new, correctly sized O-Rings and apply the specified refrigerant oil to ensure proper sealing.
- Professional Refrigerant Handling: Recovery and recharge must be performed with certified A/C service equipment by trained personnel or an authorized workshop.
- Inspect Adjacent Components: Check condensers, evaporators, hoses and clamps for wear or damage while the system is open to avoid repeat leaks.
- Perform Leak Detection: Use electronic leak detection or UV dye to confirm a dry, leak-free system after repair.
Condition Reminder: The Pipe Is Slightly Deformed Visually But Has Been Confirmed To Seal And Function Properly In The Refrigerant Circuit.
