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?

take it elsewhere if you want it fixed correctly

That's where they finally found it in ours. Took an A/C specialty
shop to find the problem. The dealer couldn't. It wasn't an obvious
leak. Replaced all the o-rings and haven't had a problem since.

being the exact same age and all. They fix the first leak they find, and
call it good.

easy assembly in the factory, good initial quality but long term
reliability isn't very good. replace ''em all.

the ZJ is a CCOT system, if it runs long at low charge you can burn
up your compressor clutch (from rapid cycling) or fail the shaft seal
because with low refrigerant flow things run much hotter than normal
and the oil circulation is poor.

if after replacing the o-rings you still run low next season then its
compressor time.

reboot
