Re: 1991 A/C Evaporator Tube
I was thinking that may be an option as well. The valve screws out just like a tire valve so the heat can be kept from damaging it but the wall is pretty thin. What a weird thing to have happen. Must have been subjected to some side loading on the attached switch in it's lifetime. The car only has 19k miles but it had been updated to modern refrigerant a few years ago.

I mentioned splice also and it's possible an AC shop would want to eliminate the port as it is now and do their own. Use the "phone" - then drive the car to the shop - show them what's needed! OP mentions a refrigerant change so I'd say the technician is maybe a contributor to the issue! Last edited by WVZR-1; 10-27-2017 at 07:11 PM. |

Re: 1991 A/C Evaporator Tube
I would tend to agree with the tech contribution especially if this port with the Schrader valve is used for the changeover.
Thanks for the great input. I will let you guys know how this turns out. |
