Where is the low-pressure pipe interface of the air conditioning system located in the old Mondeo?

The low-pressure pipe interface of the air conditioning system in the old Mondeo is located under the front hood of the Ford Mondeo, inside the engine compartment, between the coolant tank and the transmission. The high-pressure pipe is the air conditioning pipe between the compressor and the radiator, while the low-pressure pipe is the air conditioning pipe between the evaporator and the compressor. The car air conditioning system is a device that cools, heats, ventilates, and purifies the air inside the vehicle. Reasons for the low-pressure pipe of the car air conditioning system being hot to the touch: The low-pressure pipe of the car air conditioning system is hot to the touch because the expansion valve is blocked, causing the air conditioning system to stop working. Solutions for the low-pressure pipe of the car air conditioning system being hot to the touch: Check if there is any refrigerant left. If not, evacuate the system and then add refrigerant. Finally, use a pressure gauge to check whether the pressure in the high and low-pressure pipes is normal.
To locate the low-pressure AC line port on older Ford Mondeo models, I've serviced this many times. It's typically situated in the rear section of the engine bay, specifically near the firewall or on the driver's side. Open the hood and trace the AC lines - you'll usually find a round valve with a blue cap or marked 'L'. I recall working on circa 2000 models where the port was adjacent to the compressor or near the receiver/drier. If obscured, clean debris first as wiring harnesses may block it. Safety note: Ensure engine is OFF before servicing, wear protective gloves to prevent refrigerant burns. During summer heat when system pressure peaks, professional assistance is advised. Pro tip: Regular seal inspections prevent leaks and extend AC lifespan. Port location varies slightly by model year - consult manuals or teardown videos for confirmation rather than forcing components to avoid pipe damage.
