Calling all experts -

I was just starting to install my AEM v2 intake and like a dummy, I disconnected the wrong hose when I thought I was disconnecting the air control solenoid valve connector.

It looks like it's part of the heating system - the hose goes between the water pump to a line in front of the radiator.

As I started to disconnect it, it started hissing and a fluid starting dripping out. I retightened it immediately, but the hissing took awhile to stop. The fluid looks clear, but smells slightly toxic.

Now I'm worried. Can I start the car and will it re-pressure itself?

I took some pictures that I'll post momentarily.

Here's a photo of the connector I undid by mistake. I just started the car and the A/C doesn't work - so I'm guessing I bled the A/C system. Will this be hard to get repressurized?

Yep Kath, that's an A/C hose. Take it to a shop and have them purge and recharge the system and all should be good.

Thanks. I especially selected today to "discontinue" my A/C. It just hit 104 here in coastal Camarillo.

Thanks!

 

Didnt know it got that hot in Camarillo....
let us know if the a/c works after the fix...... i think it should.
