MY ac problem

[Lances133]

I've had an AC problem for awhile now, and I think they replaced the compressor but im not positive. Anyway I took it back to where I bought the car and they recharged it, it worked when I left them but turned it off asap so I wouldnt waste it. Tried to use it days later and it was just blowing hot air because of the engine heat im assuming. Later down the road I decided why not? I'll try this recharge stuff from Benny's that says it contains system safe leak sealer for most common AC leaks in rubber hoses, gaskets, and O-rings. It's called Artic Freeze, it's R-134a refrigerant+ and for shits and giggles it even says it has patented chemistry developed for Nasa lol. Well I tried it and it lasted the day I sprayed it in, didn't work the day after. Should I buy another one and give it another shot to try and fill the leaks better? Any ideas?

You have done messed it up good now.
If you added stop leak and hard telling what kind of freon and oil.
Might as well take it out in the back yard and bury it.
It is going to cost you a arm and a leg to fix it.
The stop leak in them kits is just like pouring super glue in there.

The hole system will have that crap in there and most stuff will have to be replaced to fix it.

If you still want to fix it post back for more help.
And here is a good AC link for info and parts.

To late now but here is the ball of wax on the death kits.

You cannot properly and safely recharge an air condition system with them.

The one side stop and go gauge does not tell you what your system is doing or is over charged or undercharged.
A overcharged or malfunction air condition system can reach over 500 lbs of pressure.
Enough to blow up that can or system and freeze you at first and the burn you or blind you and if any propane /butane in there blow and light you up.

The stop leak crap and who knows what kind of oil in the kits there will stop your system for sure.
Just like pouring super glue in it.
And some kits even contain freon with a butane mixer.
Good for a big blast.

If you are going to do it do it right and safe.
Here is what you need to start with.

In the older days you could just throw in a can and go.
But over the years just adding freon is getting harder to do.
Newer systems have to have the correct amount of freon down to the ounces.
Most will need pumped down and vacuumed down and the right and amount of oil and a set amount freon charge installed to get the air to cool right and the system to last.
If an air condition is low there is usually a leak that needs fixed and also a lose of lubricating oil from system.
Also air and moisture enters a low system
