Default Is this a problem or is it normal? Aircon Problem.

Basically have been busy in the engine bay and have heard a hissing sound from this area.
It is coming from the area under the plastic cover (at the top the other side of the fire wall)where the 2 silver pipes disappear into, aircon seems ok still.

I'm hoping that its a pressure release valve but experience says noises = £££'s!

What do you think?

Its funny you should say that!! yes although i seem to have remedied that with new coils and a new breather hose.

I'm sure it wasn't doing it when i had the aircon system turned off - i will check and report back.

Thanks for the reply
