Well my dad took my car while I was at work to this place and they added the dye into my AC system. For the next two weeks the car ran great nice and cool. Then today it was hot out and the ac was cool but not cold and nothing near ice cold. This was with everything on max. So my dad and I go back to the place he originally took it and he says my evaporator has a leak. It not that big but not that small either. He said it would be about 560 to fix. According to him its like a 100 dollar part and the rest is all labor for pulling off the dash. He then goes on to say he almost would hate to do it because its in such nice shape that the dash probably won't fit all nice and tight when its all done. Also he has never done it on this type of car so we came back home and now Im trying to find out is that a decent price or is this something I might be able to do on my own. Im also considering just adding a little refrigent everytime its loses it cool. Since the car is really only driven during the summer and not much more than that.
Then I also noticed that the car was sitting pretty well into the "M" getting close to the "A" on the temp gauge. I do have a 180* thermostat and Im wondering if these two are related. But I was also thinking that it may just be a normal 5.0 in traffic on a hot summer day. I usually dont drive the car in much traffic, but even when I have been caught in a little bit It usually wont ever go past the begining of "M".
