A/c issues
Recently had my a.c retrofitted, The system was evacuated by some local shop, but I decided to do the rest on my own once the R12 was removed. I searched on the net and found a kit from interdynamics that came with 3 cans of r134a and two adapter ports, basically charged the system and let it run. It ran perfectly for two days. The second day was extremely hot and suddenly in traffic I heard a hissing sound,after pulling over on the side I noticed that it was coming through some small bolt looking port on the high pressure line where it bolts on the compressor (90 240sx) This continued leaking until all the pressure was lost. Now the a.c is blowing warm air. Also I tried using a can to refill it but even at low pressure this thing kept leaking. I had no Condenser fan since it died way back. I would like to know what I should do now since it is getting real hot out here I need A/C!
The oil part is very true. If they mix it'll eventually kill the system. As for the leaking, that silver can is your drier. I'm not certain, but I don't think it's a pressure relief valve on top of it. More likely a pressure switch that's gone bad. Are there wires attached to the part that's leaking? If so, then it's some kind of sensor, and it's not supposed to vent--ever.
