#1: air conditioning circuit - damaged valve Author: kernel, Location: EarthPosted: Tue Apr 29, 2014 1:17 pm ---- Hi guys,
3 years ago I had to recharge the AC circuit as it was not cooling. It has a very small leak and the gas has lasted 3 years.
Today I went to have it recharged, but the guy told me the valve was damaged.
He recharged the circuit but told me it will not last long...
the faulty valve is the red one cap:
what is this valve used for?? the guy charged the AC circuit with another valve, next to windshield...
diagram:
I loosened the cap, and it started to lost gas. If the valve is unuseful could I get it permanently sealed with Pattex or sth similar?
thanks!

Then regass, he shouldn't of regass ex the air on without replacing the valve as he knows your not suppose to let the gas out into he atmosphere
