clusco Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Guys, as you know I just changed out my compressor and sent it to a shop to get the system evacuated and recharged with freon (spent $140). Well the system blew out cold air fine for 3 days but then last night, nothing but hot air would come out. Now I know that I have some sort of a leak because one day after turning my car off, with the hood open, I heard a leak that lasted about 15-20 seconds near the firewall. And I also understand that the compressor will kick off and on but will not stay on when it senses that the system is low on freon. With that said I went and got my own dye kit to find out where exactly my leak is located. My problem, however, is that I can't get the compressor to kick on to accept the dye. I know that there is some sort of trick to get the compressor to kick on and stay on to accept the dye and/or freon but I can't remember how to do it. Can anyone please help me to tell me how I can accomplish this feat please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Did you use Nylog on all of the O-Rings? I was told by Kevin to use Nylog, here is a link, Mike This statement floors me! "Typically, one drop of Nylog can be stretched about three feet before breaking". http://www.acsource.com/index.asp?PageActi...ProdID=185&HS=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
