yes i know the topic at the top..i've read it...





yea, a/c stopped working last week, so i took it in, they said i need a recharge, but if theres a leak, then they don't really know where its coming from, so when they filled it they put in a 'dye' of some sort (that green stuff)...well we filled it, and i got home, and i watched it as i found the leak, one pipe rubbing on another that is really hot.....took it back and all the freon was gone again

gonna be 250 all together for this shop bill since i know nothing about a/c systems

forgot

they said there gonna replace that fitting....can anyone shed some light and help me out a lil??

250 bucks? id just rip the A/C out

for 200 i'll rip mine out and give it to you. ive had my car since sept 01 and i think i used the ac maybe MAYBE a tops of 5 times

mines already ripped out lol...you can have mine

They will probably just replace the o-ring in there. God I love a/c systems.
How much did they charge you for just the refill? Shoud be no more than $15. an 0z.
With 1.xx oz in the system.

so for 250, they are going to just change a fitting and recharge?

what would you want for the pump matt? i thought the same thing but so far this summer is kicking my a$$



96 cavi'/WI j's

the pump is which part...? the cylinder thing that connecs to the firewall? i dunno make an offer

The pump? the compressor.

The cylinder thing near the firewall is the accumulator.

yeap lol....compressor...theres a word i recognize lol... make an offer for it.. they arent cheap and mines brand new..a new one was put in 3 months ago and i ripped it out last week

its 290 from gm parts direct so id let it go for 100 plus shipping

how hazardous is it if you get it on your hands???

cuz yea, i didn't think i can replace it, but if its sooo easy, then i guess i could do it??

If you release the pressure onto your hands it will freeze them.
But if the system is already discharged carfully undo the fitting. freon still might be in the system.
