Consumer Description

THE LINE THAT RUNS FROM THE ACCUMULATOR AND CONNECTS TO THE REAR EVAPORATOR, COMPRESSION SUCTION, DISCHARGE JUNCTION BLOCK AND CONDENSER SITS AGAINST THE BELL HOUSING OF THE TRANSMISSION. DUE TO VIBRATION IT HAS WORN A HOLE IN THE LINE CAUSING THE REFRIGERANT TO LEAK AT A RAPID RATE. IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC AND A HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM TECHNICIAN LOOK AT IT WITH THE SAME RESULTS. IT IS AN ONGOING PROCESS OF CHARGING THE SYSTEM EVERY 3 TO 4 DAYS WHICH IS TIME CONSUMING AND EXPENSIVE. *NLM
