My 18 year old 206 has a leaking condenser. I have bought a replacement, as well as one pipe which bolts to the condenser at one end and the dehydrator? at the other. There is one other flexible pipe which needs separating from the condenser's hard pipe though, and I have no idea how it uncouples. Does anyone know please? Thanks, Mike

Hi, it should come off with the mount bracket, just like in this vid: youtu.be/x_GL-64R0K0?t=803 (C2 is a 206 under the bonnet, at least technically:)

Thanks Sim
My 206 has a cranked hard tube attached to the condenser at top left (when viewed from the front). It's the coupling between that hard tube and the flexi which runs down to the compressor that I need to uncouple.
Further research reveals that this coupling is possibly called a "springlock", and it's a bit like a plumbing fitting called a Hep2O, whereby to unfasten it, you need a special key. The key inserts into the coupling and spreads a spring in the fitting which then releases the pipe.
All I have to do now is locate the correct springlock aircon disconnect tool.
Thanks again
