A/C O-Rings?
- Thread starter GearHd6
- Start date
Ok, I just took the line off that goes from the condensor to the evaporator and I dont see an orifice tube in there anywhere. Is it possible that its not even in there? Does it need to be in there? I have a new line and a new orifice tube but I dont want to put the tube in if its not supposed to be there.
Ok, this is the tube I have. Any idea which end goes into the line 1st? And I think it goes on the end of the line closest to the firewall, is that true?

Ok, I think I answered my own question. It seems to be midway through the line and then crimped in. I thought it was installed right at the very end near a connection.
Alright! Sheesh! This A/C is killing me. I installed the new accumulator/dryer and new liquid line today and the damn thing holds a charge for about an hour and then it starts cycling like crazy and gets warm. I've got all new o-rings at all the obvious connections. I've also got a new discharge hose as well, I bought that last year. Looks like I can see a little oil where the pressure switch screws onto the schrader valve on the dryer but other than that I see nothing. The pressure switch has no o-ring or anything, does it just seal around the plastic threads? Any other ideas because im lost? Maybe i'll just bring it somewhere and tell them to call me when it holds a charge for more than a millisecond.

Nope. It should have an o-ring.GearHd6 said:
What parts did you not replace? That is what I would suspect to have a leak. The hardest to find is one in the evaporator. Takes some expensive equipment.
Well I havent replaced the condensor, compressor or the evaporator. Everything else is new. I suppose if that o-ring in the switch is missing then that could be a problem.
