How to Repair a Vehicle A/C Leak with R134a Super Seal

If your car’s A/C is low on refrigerant and blowing hot air, that means the system, by definition, has a leak somewhere. You can add more refrigerant, but th…

Arianna, have you checked the pressure of your system yet? If so, where is
the gauge showing?

AM Love says:

the video shows adding r134a with no pressure gauge; just used the hose
supplied with the Super Seal product. How can you tell how much to add?

My 2005 Kia Rio will hold a charge for one day. My mechanic ran some UV dye
through the system, and says that the leak is under the top manifold plate
(on top of the compressor). It this product safe/effective for this type of
leak? Thanks.

Desert Logic says:

I did not have luck with this product. It worked for about 2 days then
clogged the AC compressor on my 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. I would have been
better off just getting my AC fixed thru my local shop for $120. Now I have
to get a new compressor, lower suction unit and have the entire system
flushed and refilled for around $1200, plus the $85 for AC sealant and AC
Pro.
Very expensive mistake trying to save a few bucks. 

AKillerTuna says:

This video should include this caveat: If you put sealer in your AC system,
and then have to take it to a professional, they’re going to check your
system for sealer. If they find the sealer, they’re not going to
contaminate their very expensive equipment with the sealer, and you’re
going to end up having to buy a new AC system for many thousands of $$. If
you take it to a professional who doesn’t check for sealant, and you hide
the fact that you put it in there, not only did your dishonest ass just
ruin their equipment, but you are also responsible for contaminating every
system that’s serviced with the shops equipment after that. Moral of the
story: If you have a leak…fix it the right way by repairing the leak.

My a/c system is almost full, but has a small leak. Can I add a can of
superseal even if my system is almost full?

Mohammed Mustafa says:

Hello to all,
I have ford focus 2004 model, last few months my car a/c was not working I
changed evaporator & a/c compressor & I changed radiator fan also.

When mechanic filling air for checking leak
No buddy getting any type of leak when filling ac gas after 5 or 6 days
cooling going down,
If anybody knows what the problem with car I am very thankful for them

antonio williams says:

my a/c compressor has a small leak around the edge of the compressor in the
back I have a old 84 parisienne and I want to know will super seal work for
me

aaronac8 says:

If I am not sure how long it took to lose my refrigerant than what product
do you recommend?

aaronac8 says:

Should super seal Always be used prior to using ac pro? 

Olga King says:

Miracle worker and it is not like the one for Rubber. I used it on my
oldest daughter’s car and it worked the whole time. This was after
mechanics told her it was going to be at least $300 to Try to fix. She went
to a couple. Now I need to do it to my old Cougar. It is less than $27

Dean Clayton says:

My systems loses gas after 1 week, is this not likely to work?

Chris Samurai says:

I used the Super Seal but didn’t work.

William McEachern says:

i add r134a to my car to around 45 psi. the next day it has already leaked
out well the pressure drops. is this a big leak that this can fix or should
i bring it in?

aaronac8 says:

But I thought if my refrigerant is lost in less than 2 weeks that I would
need to bring my car to a professional for repair?

DowntownDonnieB says:

I purchased a A/C Pro (ACP-100N) combo refrigerant and sealer w gauge and
connector hose. I have a ’02 Lexus GS 430 with less than 60k mi. The AC
started blowing warm in the last month. My question is should I use a
basic sealer first and then refrigerant or is there enough of each in what
I already purchased (20 oz can)?
If I check the PSI and it is not 0 (zero) should I then continue on as
instructions included? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Ready to do
today but wanted one last try at more info. Thanks.

Michael Svoboda-Britz says:

I wouldn’t trust myself to do this to my own car – I have no idea what
could go wrong and I wouldn’t want that to create more problems.

qwe123wgd says:

hi there, I have a slow weep on the bubble crimp at each end of the hose
from the compressor to the condenser, takes a month or so to lose pressure,
is this likely to fix this problem and are there any bad side effects if it
doesn’t.. Or would you recommend just replacing the hose. thanks.

DowntownDonnieB says:

Gee thanks, that is the question I had, what to use first and “carlos” told
me to go ahead, against my “guess” judgement, and now that I used it and am
out the bucks I spent for the ACP-100N … not fair and very bad advice …
I feel now like he just did not really know what’s to do … wanna refund
but will exchange for what I felt was product I really needed and now what
I hear you recommending to me … and by the way I told him I had sent
email! Expect to hear from you guys soon regarding. 

sncruiser says:

By attaching the hose to the system without purging it first will introduce
air to the system. Air is a non condensible gas. Refrigeration 101

PUEDES EXPLICARLO EN ESPAÑOL POR FAVOR 

Chris Samurai says:

Does the refrigerant is crucial for he AC or you just need the Super Seal
and blow out the cool air?

Irwin Yuen says:

I have 66 Chevy that had the AC rebuilt before my purchase of the car and I
am seeing a green dye that coming out of the compressor clutch and sprays a
thin green line on the inside hood of my car. I guessing it’s the shaft
seal of the compressor, does your R134A Seal help? Also, is the oil in a
compressor separate from the Freon or just one system?

RealMusic405 says:

Did it work ? Does your car still blow cold air ?

ordonz rami says:

i can hear the leak when i try to put the can in does this stuff still work

LimonKay says:

I like how this is the ONLY video you favorited. .. and 3 times on that
matter.

MrRonPen says:

Small world W8FG . I just bought a can of this from Advanced as well. Going
to try it in my 1994 Chevy Cavalier. IF I only had to add a can of
refrigerant every year, heck even two, I’m ahead of the game as far as a
repair bill goes. Going to try and load it tonite. I’m leery as I did a
recharge yesterday and was cold, this afternoon (say 24 hrs.) it was
blowing warm again. But I do not see or hear a leak. So hopefully its not a
“large leak that will require a service center” as they state 73

W8FG says:

This stuff does work, i have used it in my 96 jeep grand cherokee 5.2L ,
got me all through last summer but this year i had to recharge again. But i
know my problem is bad evaporator and for this to work this well given that
problem! I am sold! Yes disclaimer: NO ONE PAID ME to say this in fact it
cost me $27.99 at my local advance auto parts shop. But it did help and did
make my jeep drivable again in horrible summer heat!

AC PRO says:

You can buy it at most auto parts stores or online at from several
suppliers.
