Anybody else ever have this problem? The A/C worked great 2 days ago, now today doesnt work, what should I do to attempt to figure out whats wrong with it?

 

Come to think of it I did notice some type of liguid underneath my car, kind of where the exhaust manifold would be, maybe a little more towards the front bumper, but on that side, maybe it was FREON, I just thought it was water from washing my car, but the stain is still on the street...........

What a fu--kin mess.............

Actually another thing. after driving a few days ago I popped my hood and I heard what sounded like a boiling, or gurggelling sound coming from what I now think was an A/C line..............( At the time I thought it was just coolant doing its thing, but starting to make more sense that it had something to do with the AC line now..........)**** I guess I have a leak somewhere whats the best way to find it?

 

Best bet is to pull off your front bumper cover so you can see all the lines and pump. Do this and you should find the wet spot. You could always throw flower at it too if the wet spot isn't apparent at first

 

guys on the 350z forums who ran the trbonetics kit had notorious problems with the manifold melting thru the AC lines.

 

I cant seem to find any leaks, at least not visually but I am sure there is....... what a headache this TURBO stuff can be. (I know this is petty stuff but such a PITA)

 

You won't see a leak with the AC system. It will blow out at once.

First place to check....that beer can condenser by the intercooler. The greddy kit keeps it close to the condenser, and the vibrations over time can crack it. I saw this problem when installing the kit, and I took care of it before the sh!t hit the fan.

 

I can peak in there (in between the radiator and inter cooler right?). Everything looked connected, no moistness............

 

the leak you saw was most likely water from the evaporator.... if you visually cant see a leak, It might be more worth it to take it somewhere to have it filled with r134 and make sure you ask them to put dye in it so you can find the leak easily.

First, before you fill anything you get a vacuum pump, hook it up, and see if holds vacuum. If there is a leak (will not hold vacuum), where you suspect, there will be a suction sound coming from that area under a vacuum pull. If the system won't hold vacuum and you cannot isolate the leak, then have it filled with R143/dye combo. Then you can buy an AC hose relo kit and get the hardlines out of the way.
