A/C leak stop

[Johnnyh29]

Anyone use A/C pro. Leak stop? I have a pin hole in my condenser.

Replace the condenser. That stuff is a catalyst and will eventually gum and clogg stuff. If you have to you could source a used condenser. 4 seasons it at the top of the list and price isn't much different then the rest.

I took a 10 week class from Clackamas Community College (Oregon) on automotive AC. The instructor advised that using stop leak will cause damage to your system.

Stay away from stop leak, unless you like further problems.

 

Repair properly, by replacing the condenser, Vacuum the system. Install the proper amount of refrigerant.

 

Oh, I'd replace the accumulator/drier too

i work in ac all the time and when some one wants me to fix it the first question i ask is has any one put stop leak in and if they say yes i tell them to go some where else

As all others have said STAY AWAY FROM IT. It probably truthfully would stop it, but then in a few months or a year or so you will be buying the whole system vs just the Condenser

Stop leak of any kind WILL plug the orifice tube on all GMs. Then you will be in for a nasty repair.

dont forget on automotive AC,  your condenser holds oil. when you replace it, dump the oil out into a container, measure/mark container, properly dispose of old oil, fill container with NEW oil (can be bought at auto part stores, PAG oil) to your measurement and pour into new condenser.

 

the oil is crucial to your compressor.

 

its not critical to replace your accumulator/drier, as no air has been let into the system, IF its still under pressure. a good evacuation and recharge will be fine. dont buy into the sales speech from people.

 

i do commercial/industrial refrigeration and AC.
