Search Auto Parts Search Help with A/C question Ford Taurus Sign up here!   Email This Post Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> AC Auto Repair Help Forum lance Novice Aug 17, 2011, 11:36 AM Post #1 of 3 (2863 views) Help with A/C question Ford Taurus Sign In I took my car to an auto shop and they told me that there was a leak in my A/C compressor. They mentioned that it could be recharged, but the freon would eventually leaked out. They said it would cost 1500 to fix and the car isn't worth it. SO, I was at an auto parts store and the guy mentioned that I can use an A/C stop leak which is easy to do. You connected it yourself, squirt the stuff and then you take the refrigerant can and recharge it yourself. This would cost around 50/60 dollars, a lot less than 1500! Will this work? Is it easy to do? The guy said it would work and it's real easy. Any advice? Thanks.

That is just a "death kit" and will not seal a compressor but will contaminate the rest of the system. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

I know they sell it everywhere and in the trade will call that "Death Kits" as is can ruin the whole system! Those things in a can with who knows what have a very low percentage of fixing common leaks but then you have likely contaminated refrigerant that no pro want to deal with. If you insist much is rentable for free for deposit for safe return. These cars use "spring lock" connectors that are know to leak or anywhere really. Find and fix the leak and be done with it. Random guessing at charging it could cause monster damage and just avoid that, T (edit - HT {phone calls} you hit faster than I did but the same idea) (This post was edited by Tom Greenleaf on Aug 17, 2011, 1:26 PM)   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
