I have put some stop leak in with that red dye and two 12 OZ. cans of R-134a in today. and i have'nt seen any trace of the red dye and it dose'nt seem to be geting as cold as it should be. i still may need another can i dont know but it still as cool as it was whene i put the first one in. it eventualy gets half &ss cold after you drive it for a little bit but not as cold as it should be. but like i said i may need another one or maybe it has a blockage in the line or something whatcha think...

 

Allso iv'e noticed that whene the A/C cuts on it makes a grinding noise and thene it spits out what looks like green dye out of the little hole in the back of the compressor. then it will cut off and it will cut back on again and do the same thing it spits like that about every other 2 or 3 times it cuts on. i wonder if maybe iv'e got to much in it i dont know i know its not as cold as it should be.

 

Adding those cans to a known leaking system is illegal, and can potentially damage the compressor.

You may need to take this to a professional.

 

I just bought a 1996 z34 monte carlo yesterday. So far I like it, but then again I've always loved monte carlos. There are a couple of questions I'm hoping to get help with cause the car came with no books of any sort. First being where the heck is the container for the windshield wiper fluid? Also the airconditioner doesn't seem to be cooling like it should. Are you supposed to press the button on the max ac switch to get it to come on or is that just for the defroster?

 

Well chibi acualy i am ASE certified i have my HVAC card and all thats why this pi&&is me off. cause iv'e been out of work so long from Freightliner on workmans comp i have done forgot a bunch of stuff i also have 43 cert from Freightliner. its just been a wile like i said i just got the car and am learning a little moor every day whith it and i dont remember working on or seeing one come in the shop doing what its doing spitting out the back like that. its like it has to much freon in it so its haveing to exhaust like that out the rear. i told my wife i was going to barrow that tank that you put the R134a into whene you pull it out. at work we have a machine that you do all that with but anyway pull it all out and start over from scrach vacume it down for 15 min. add pag oil and recharge it. and like i said i have'nt seen a trace of that red dye yet but you know maybe your write its been so long since iv'e done this $h!t maybe i should take it to a shop. i just dont think i can aford it write now thats why im trying to figure it out at home but whatever else i do do it i shure aint putting no more freon in it because it looks like its trying to get back out LOL.
