What's the green sealant stuff on air con pipes - MisterGTR - 12-10-2014
Finally managed to remove the air con pipes.
And I was about to fit the new ones when I noticed this green stuff which I'm guessing is a sealant on the pipes.
Any one know what it is and where to get it?

It's a oil to lube the air con system but bright green to act as a dye when finding leaks.
Much like the gas, it's pretty potent so try not to get it on you.

It's an anti-corrosion agent that is luminously coloured to hell spot leaks. It also helps preserve the moisture in the rubber seals.

Ah okay so not something I put on? Cool thanx for that.
Will get all the bits I broke ordered tomorrow from Peugeot and hopefully get her back running at the weekend. Fingers crossed I haven't pulled out anything I shouldn't have by accident and lost it*!
Also thanks for the super quick replies.

Don't get it on your jeans, doesn't wash out for months!

Also doesn't come off of Tarmac and block paving. Looks like a nuclear chemical spill next to my house

Haha, oops. The only benefit of a gravel drive is that everything just runs straight through.

Luckily I chucked it on to my grass. But they are now in my garage. And luckily my rubbing it and sniffing it (like I'm in Miami vice) hasn't done any immediate damage. I think.
