nathan Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Who on here works somewhere that does A/C service? I have checked the compressor and it works, there are no major leaks in the system (checked with dye) and so I suspect that it either has a small leak, or more likely that the expansion valve is shot. I can replace the valve, but I would need it vacuumed and refilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 You can also recharge it yourself. Go into Advanced Auto Parts and they have cans that you can refill it yourself with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 The problem is that if I replace the expansion valve it will open the system up to the atmosphere and I have no way of removing air from the system once it is open. Secondly it would probably not find and small leaks with the home kit since there is not a real pressure check going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
