If you are experiencing a problem with your vehicle that may
be due to leaking, you can generally tell because there will be a puddle of
fluid under it. But with a refrigerant leak in your AC unit, that is not the
case. Refrigerant leaks leave you car’s system as a gas without color, or smell,
making it difficult to discover the leak in the first place. To fix an AC leak,
you will need to remove the heat that is in the closed chamber by using a
compressor and an expansion valve. With these tools and the exchange of heat,
you vehicle will take the heat inside the closed space and move it outside
through working fluid.
Fixing you’re vehicles AC is a daunting process that will involve
adding a special dye to your AC unit. First, you will need to lift the hood of
your car, start the engine, and turn on your air conditioning. When looking at
the compressor in your engine bay, make sure the AC compressor pulley is
spinning. If the pulley is spinning, this means that the dye is moving through
your car’s system. After a few minutes of driving with the AC on, park your car
and check the engine bay with a UV light. If you can’t see the dye leaking, you
will need to check under your dashboard, expansion valve, dryer, air vents, and
cabin air filter.
Even after checking the numerous area of your vehicle, you
may not have any luck. If this process seems overbearing, I would suggest using
an AC stop leak such as Red Angel A/C Stop Leak. BlueDevil’s Red Angel AC stop leak will
inject new refrigerant straight into your air conditioning system. This fluid
is like a lubricant that will seal you AC leak because of a chemical reaction
coming from a change in temperature. Red Angel has worked for many people with
refrigerant leaks, and it takes all of the hassle out of other traditional
solutions.
