Air con leak, or not?

(1/1)

screech:
Hey guys,

Just looking for some opinions.

Had my car 3 months and was advised my aircon was leaking, so had dye put in it.

Took it back to where I got it today for it to be looked at/repaired under warrantee.

They've said they can't find a fault, and that all they can see is some dye around the seals, but that's normal.
Are they just fobbing me off..?? 

doylebros:
How did the person who noticed it leaking originally see the problem thus requesting dye to be added to aid finding a leak in the future?

However,If it was a case of recharge with dye sorted the original problem and now the gas has gone I suggest you use an independent party to look in the common areas like - condenser and pressure switch (electrics connection point).

W6llace:
Check the heater vents for dye as not everyone looks if the evaporator is leaking
