Auto Air Conditioning & Heater Repair: auto a/c, camaro v6, gm cars


Question
2000 camaro, V6. a/c stopped cooling, took to repair shop, serviced it added 1/2 lb of freon, also put dye in, cooled for 1 wk, took it back repairman said dye showed leak around a valve or fitting, replaced that, added more freon, cooled for 1 wk, will not blow cool or cold air now...what recommendations do you have? Repairman did say if it leaked again, it may need a condensor or something like that.

Answer
HI LINDA, FROM WHAT YOU`VE EXPLAINED ABOUT THIS SHOP I WOULD BE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE. I DON`T THINK A/C IS HIS STRONG CARD.THE THING ABOUT DYES IS, YOU EITHER SEE OR YOU DON`T. THE CONDENSER IS IN PLAN VIEW AND TO SAY MAYBE IT NEEDS TO REPLACED MAKE ME THINK HE`S NOT GOOD AT DIAGNOSITICS..A 1WEEK LEAK IS A BIG LEAK. FROM MY EXPERIENCE WITH GM CARS THE COMPRESSOR AND EVAPORATOR ARE THE WEAK AREAS. PRESSURE SWITHCES LEAK ALSO..GET A SECOND OPINION..

GOOD LUCK
