Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis (Citroën / Peugeot OEM)
- Model: Citroën C5 II; Peugeot 407
- Product Codes: 9650885580; 6460LP
- Additional Numbers: NFP (as supplied)
Function
The refrigerant pipe routes high- or low-pressure refrigerant between components of the air conditioning system (compressor, condenser, evaporator, receiver/drier). It maintains a sealed, pressure-rated path and often integrates fittings and flared connections. A correctly functioning pipe is essential to preserve system pressure, prevent leaks and allow the compressor and evaporator to operate efficiently.
Common Failure Causes
- Corrosion from road salt and moisture, especially on external metal lines and fittings.
- Mechanical damage from impacts or abrasion under the vehicle.
- Degraded or hardened O-rings and seals at connection points, causing leaks.
- Vibration and thermal cycling leading to stress at bends and joints.
Replacement Frequency
There is no fixed interval for replacing refrigerant pipes; they are replaced when a leak, damage or performance loss is detected. Regular visual inspections during scheduled maintenance are recommended, particularly on older cars or vehicles exposed to corrosive environments.
Replacement Procedure (Summary)
- Recover refrigerant with certified A/C recovery equipment before any disassembly. Do not vent refrigerant to atmosphere.
- Access the pipe by removing any undertray panels or trim that obstruct the work area.
- Loosen and remove fittings/clamps at both ends. Keep track of connection types and torque specifications.
- Replace all associated O-rings/seals with new, correctly sized parts and lubricate them with the correct refrigerant oil.
- Install the new pipe, tighten fittings to manufacturer torque, and reinstall panels.
- Perform a vacuum test to check for leaks, then recharge the system to manufacturer refrigerant specification and measure system pressures and cooling performance.
- Confirm there are no leaks with an electronic leak detector or UV tracer before returning the vehicle to service.
Installation Recommendations
- Work Must Be Performed Or Supervised By Personnel Trained In A/C Service And Using Proper Recovery/Recharge Equipment.
- Always Recover Refrigerant First; Do Not Open The System While Pressurized.
- Use New O-Rings At All Connections And The Correct Type Of Refrigerant Oil Recommended For The Vehicle.
- After Installation, Perform A Vacuum And Leak Test Prior To Recharging, Then Verify System Performance And Temperatures.
- If Any Corroded Brackets Or Mounts Are Present, Replace Them To Prevent Future Chafing Or Damage.
