I'm trying to get my car on the road and have repaired the AC hose. It was broken by the AC compressor. Trying to pull a vacuum and of course I have a leak. I've traced the leak to the compressor itself. If I pull the double lines at the compressor and plug both of them, I can hold a vacuum. I have replaced the washer seals and it still leaks.
I have manualy turned the compressor over by hand and it holds vacuum better than it originaly did. My question is, if I run the AC pump, is there a chance that it might hold vacuum again? It was open for who knows how long and the clutch was disconnected. Wondering if I get the oil circulating, if it might seal?
Or is the compressor toast?
If I'm going to replace it, now is the time, since it's half ripped apart anyhow. Anyone have a good used compressor cheap? Dam, did I buy a cobbled up car
The seemly never ending repair process continues
Thanks,
Rich
