Title: 2.5 TD Air Con pump

The pipe out of the back of the belt driven air-con pump is very hot - should it be like that? The air con looks like it needs re-gassing as it has lost a lot of cooling power.

Yes - it wont cool down until it gets to the evaporator.

Maybe this diag will help explain things.
