Air conditioning connections

[Tonyp]

Can anyone point out where the air con recharge connections are?  We have a 2003 Alphard V6 and I can find what I think is the ‘hi’ connector (the larger one) just behind the near side headlight but cannot see the ‘low’ connector (small one) anywhere under the bonnet.

Hello Tony,

 

Does it matter ?

 

Surely you will take your Alphie to an experienced air conditioning recharger; it is not a job for DIY.

 

Most cars have air con nowadays; it should not be difficult to get the job done properly.

Actually it is a very easy job to do- there are kits and supplies readily available and I have already done several other cars without issues. 
we previously took our fiat 500 to have its air con sorted for £185 at a main dealer- 2 months later it wasn’t working again- i prefer to do things properly myself. 
Any help with the location of the connection greatly appreciated- it isn’t in the handbook unfortunately.

If it's anything like my 2.4L, H is behind the headlight close to the bonnet and L is also behind but below the headlight and about 6" towards the radiator.

L connector is below the battery to the right

Perfect thanks - found it in the darkness a a little cramped due to the battery
