AC Question

I got a freon charge but the gas was leaking and caused the cold air to leave real quickly.

The Mechanic put dye and said the hp hose and the hose going from the condenser to the compressor both have leaks.

First question is: What is the name of that hose going from the condenser to the compressor, I want to order it new from the dealer. I already have a new HP hose sitting at home.

Second question is: Can there be something else involved. According to him the compressor and the condenser are fine. My radiator was rebuilt recently and works fine. No vacuum or electrical issues either. Is there anything else that maybe involved?

Thanks

O-rings could be leaking. That was what I replaced and it has held since.

Heads up! They put dye in the system and located the leaks

It must suck to be a shriveled up used car salesman looking old man that has nothing better to do than badger people on an internet message board.

Tony, I have spent my whole life taking disadvantaged people under my wing that desperately needed help, but I have never seen anyone else that seems to need help with every undertaking.

Since I have never sold a car in my life, and spent the day mixing concrete while working on installing my new rod Iron fence, I doubt if any information on that would ever be useful to you... I will take a shot at your latest dilemma.

Don't hold me to it but guess for you would be… Your reply should possibly be posted in the “NOT EXACTLY SVX” category!

I am trying to quit, but it seems helping you seems to be my lot in life.

I agree: "Sarcasm" has it's time..

It's a bunch of online B.S. Just keep it real..

Tony, just ignore him. I think he enjoys getting a "rise" out of people. Maybe if we collectively ignore him, he'll eventually go away.

You can always tell a lot about a person by who their friends are.

Of course, you are 100% correct! Dude has a truly twisted way of "helping" people. Troll is perfect description though. What else would wait for someone to post something so they can pounce all over it with an obnoxious response? I hope I don't have to pose in pictures next to cartoon characters and spend my time insulting or baiting people on message boards when I am that old and close to death. I guess I became his object of affection when Trevor got banned.......

Back to the topic at hand, if you go through the trouble of replacing lines, just make sure you replace the o-rings too.
