Air con leak.

[dannyspeed]

Fitted my Greedy FMIC a few weekends back, and to get the pipework to fit i had to move this A/C pipe (see pic). In the picture you can see a 10mm nut which i started undoing to try and move the pipe off the bracket.[OOPS][/OOPS] Big mistake as the A/C gas stated leaking and even though i tighted it back up it still leaked.

 

I havent turned my A/C on since, because i think all the gas leaked out.

 

Is there anyway i can fix/seal this? to replace it looks like a big job.

i remember when i was stripping the front end of mine after my little incident, and removed that nut the split them apart i had the shit scared out of me as all of a sudden there was a massive noise and all the gas comming out, i legged it out the garage!! Stank for the next 3 days around that area.

 

appologies to the ozone layer!!

by the way, when fitting a FMIC how do you know where to position it so that it doesnt foul the bumper when you put it back on? Or is it well back so that wont happen or do you mark where the bumper goes back to.?

The Greedy FMIC comes with a bracket to reposition it and all the instructions you need (although they were in japanese) But i thought that nut would undo it from its original bracket.

 

Did you fix the leak in the end?

 

Im thinking of just covering the whole thing over with some jb weld or somthing similar to seal it again. Any ideas on this anyone?
