Default FInd the AC problem finally

That's why you should be careful when you have a fmic.

right side of the nut was gone, so it was hitting ac cooler unit then finally put a tinny small hole. that's the reason why my ac was not keeping the juice.



Little Zoom;



I really do not want to spent money to replace it. What is your idea to fix this small hole ?

There was a item called something weld at autozone. like 2 tubes mixed them up and aplly on hole...

Any ideas ?

The hole you have a circle around is in the radiator. If it was mine I would solder it. When hot itsprobably got about 28 lbs of pressure behind it. You can try JB Weld if you like. I would just hate to do it again if it didn't hold.
Hmm, Maybe not but wheres the antifreeze coming from. If thats the air conditioning condener it has to be silver soldered because of 35 Lbs or more of pressure behind it..

Oops, Lets try again. If thats the high side theres at least 150 lbs of pressure, Silver solder for sure...

Good Luck...

Thanks Redrum. I bought the JB already so I'll try it tonight. If not. soldering is second option for me since I have the tool for soldering.

It is not antifreeze. It's 134a with UV thing which helps you to find the leak.

JB weld is the sh/t - if duct tape can't fix it - JB it - did you get the 5min stuff, or the 4-6 hour stuff
