Got the radiator and water pump issues straighten out and then replaced the tire rod ends and the car is doing good the little we drive it, but now it has a/c problems.

It has always leaked some Freon out slowly over the last years but when we finally got it fixed, it had no Freon in it so I put the machine on it. The car had none so I vacuumed it down and it passed the test so I charged it and it was blowing cold. 2 weeks later and we decided to drive it and I'm assuming the Freon is gone since it is not blowing cold and the a/c compressor is not kicking in. It seems like the leak has just got worse and now isn't going to make it through the summer without having to recharge it.

Just wondering if anybody has any ideas on where it could be leaking and could it be the evaporator core and if so, is that hard to change. Is there a write-up available for that task? If there is, I'm sure Blackarrow will come through.

I've used a leak detector in the past but just haven't got anything to trigger the detector on the outside. I also don't see any signs of oil other than the compressor is oily and that could just be from the car itself.

Don't know and was hoping to get some insight on my problem and see if anybody is still around here. smile
