After 16 months since evacuating system for engine swap, finally got the A/C working on Wed. WE evacuated system for about 30 mins, and left it in vacuum for another 30 to check for leaks..everything seemed fine.. We put in 2 cans of R134 without ANY complications...Compressor kicked on as expected and A/C came out Ice Cold.
Let car sit Thursday, the started it up FRIDAY.. Still ice cold....Parked car in garage and went inside...Came out an hour later, and it was hissing through the H-side Valve...I pushed down the stem and let it pop back up and it shut off. WHen I went to add a little more gas, it started leaking again.
I decided just to change the little metal piece that contains the valve. I found a universal kit, but the piece that looks like it is for my car is a 7/16, and the one I removed looks like 12 mm.
The pics im talking about here. The piece is the one I removed. Is there a place to get this, and are there any tips for getting this corrected? The stem itself is not replaceable.....it looks as though is fixed insided the little housing.
Thanks
