E51 E51 Aircon Pipe Corrosion (Rear)

Yes, if the Aircon is off you can blow ambient air through the rear vent but the air intake is internal so won't be fresh outside air like the front.
 
I've had the rear blank from BMR fitted for about 1 year and never had a problem. I even removed the rear heater entirly and all pipe work to make space for other goodies. I will probably fit a gas heater in that space to use only when stationary.

I've recently had the blank from Brian (BMR) fitted after more than a year without being able to use the aircon because of the leak at the rear.
The mechanic said it was easy to fit.
I took it for a re-gas and they tested for leaks and re-gassed with 0.6litres and I drove home in comfort on a day where the temp was nearing 30.
A week later and all is well.
Thank you Brian.
The local aircon "specialist" backheeled the job because he said it would lake far too long to do because he would have to remove half the engine and then he'd have to make a blank....
Lazy Wassock!
