97 Grand Cherokee Air Cond. Problem
Seems like every spring I have to recharge the air condt system. I'm
wondering if a can of the dye would help in spotting the leak. The evaporator was replaced by Jeep two years ago. Is a leak usuall du to bad O rings in the compressor? |

Replaced all the o-rings and haven't had a problem since. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

All the O-rings couldn't possibly go bad at once, being the exact same age and all. They fix the first leak they find, and call it good. Earle |
