A/C isnt working, can if be refilled?

just curious: how are you plugging the leaks? i damaged my high-side hose during the engine swap and the coolant leaked out due to a hole/crack in the hose. i was hoping to plug them somehow (but i'm iffy because it's the high-pressure side) because the hose new is over $150...


to the original poster: after months of trying to fix the a/c myself, i would definately suggest you have it checked by a professional. i thought i had a leaky evap, but it turned out my compressor was bad. a new compressor and a refill meant cold a/c! too bad i damaged the high-pressure hose during my engine swap, though...

I would start by hooking up a vacuum pump to the system and see if holds a vacuum.

Yeah, that would be a better way.... I usually toss a can of freon at it with the dye in it. I don't have a vacuum pump to hook to it.
