I work at a SVT dealership wich is pretty cool.... But, I recently got my A/C "fix", as well as my seat (the seatback is broken). At least that's what they said they did, and they were going to order a new one... Well the new one is in laugh , but the A/C was again doesn't work, and I'm afraid by the time the get find the real problem the warranty is gonna be up.... OH, but wait I work their they won't do that to me( or at least I hope not confused wink )

Let me clear up one thing, they were ordering a new seat back... All they did to the A/C was recharge it, probally didn't even look for a leak... But I work at the dealership so it is no problem I could get it fixed by them when I go in tommorow

PiscTri138,

Check the A/C line that runs under the Power Steering reservoir.
I've already reported that the hose Clamp extends out just far enough
to knick the A/C line in that area.

Also let the technician put a dye in your AC, or they can pressurize the system with "SMOKE".

It is not a joke.
My Dealership had to use smoke on my AC system to find the leak.
When the smoke comes through the leak, it rises, because it is lighter than air,
allowing you to trace it and determine the source of the leak.
This is something NEW, and your dealeship may not have the equipment to do this.

Oh, and if they find out that it is the AC Compressor,
I've got a $20 bill that says the parts department will order
at least THREE compressors, before they get the right one.
Happened to me TWICE already.
