car a/c leak?

Question

I know my leaks are from the fill valves can they be rebuilt or new gaskets installed to fix this or do I need to replace the hoses?

Answer 1

Fill valves are basically similiar to tire valve stem schraeder valves only they have different sealing materials that are compatible with a/c oil and refrigerants. You would have to vacuum the system down and replace the valves and then recharge the system and check for any leaks...the caps should have little orings inside of them also to help stop small leaks.

Answer 2

yes u can replace the valves, go to your local parts supplyer and they should have the valves in stock. u will also need the tool. don't worry its cheep. its the freon to refill it that will cost the most. if its not a 134 system i would by the converting valves{there cheap too}. and install 134 from a quick can. I've done it on all my cars without changing anything else as recommended and they have been trouble free.

Answer 3

Take the car to a GOOD REPUTABLE A/C shop. They have a special tool that can replace the schradar valves with the system charged.

Answer 4

It sounds like a heater/AC center situation, with a foul hose and extra. i think of you will desire to take it to the broking, so the areas are replaced properly. that isn't any longer much less costly to repair, until that is only a hose. My guess, the fee would be around $4 hundred or so, until you're able to do the artwork your self.

Answer 5

Find out where the leak is coming from. Once you park your car, look underneath the hood to see more or less where the leak falls out from. . . Usually, hoses need to be replaced every so often.

Answer 6

Since you didn't list the year, make and model....who knows???
