Frion Leak--Need Advice--2012 Nissan Versa Note-Please Help!!
Went to the repair shop to get my brake pads and rotors put on & the mechanic told me my frion is leaking. He said that he would need to hook it up to an AC machine & put some dye on it to detect where the leak is coming from (i.e., whether the leak is coming from the compressor or someplace else). He said it will take up to 3 hours for them to figure out where the leak is coming from.🙄
I told my coworker about it & he said he has worked on cars for 30 years and recommended me to get some R-134a Refrigerant, and said that that will seal any leaks that are going on with my car. I went to Auto Zone and bought some but am wondering how long the sealant will last. Does anyone have any advice on what to do? Is the R-134a Refrigerant reliable? Is it a waste to spend $140 to have the mechanic hook my AC system up to a machine and put dye on it to detect where the leak is coming from? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
