A/C Low side port

[masinc13440]

I can't locate the low side port on my 2000 db7 v12 vantage. Left hand drive if it matters.

Hi item 7 in the diagram if that helps.

[masinc13440]

Thanks. I have that diagram. Everthing under that bonnet is so tight, I can't even find the hose! I'm hoping someone has found it, and knows what to remove. I don't want to just start digging. Tomorow I'm going to draw a vacume from the high side to see if I have a minor or major leak. Regards Lou

That's a great help. I have fixed many A/C systems having owned an auto parts store for 47 years. I even tried useing my bore scope but still could not find it. I tried something I have never tried before. I evacuated the system and charged it (engine off and cold) through the high side port. I was able to get the 900 grams of R134a into it with a little help from a heat gun. I have cold cold A/C but I don't recommend this proceedure as it is not the right way to do it. Thanks to everyone for your input. I can always count on the PH family for help. Regards Lou
