I Did a video about 4 years ago on this same topic. I recharged my AC system and had cool air for about 20 minutes…It didn’t take long for the refrigerant to leak out. This time around, i show you how to replace the 2 o-rings located inside the AC compressor. Months later my AC is STILL blowing cold air. You have got to try this, it’s about a 3 dollar investment plus the cost of refrigerant. I can’t believe it was so simple to fix afterall.
I used a generic bottle of R134A from Autozone but you can also find it on amazon.

I also bought the o-rings directly from the dealership. Again, Amazon does have them as well, but a bit pricier. Links Below

I did the same thing with my 07 impreza when I got it, a quick trip to Advance Auto for a pack of random sized o-rings and mine still blows cold, and its been a couple months already!
Yooooo hope ya can help me ! CArs throwing p0303 code 🙁 and I think p0304
Does those o ring fit for a 2017 wrx?
Thanks for the video man, this fixed my AC on my 2014.
Subaru wants 800.00 for a compressor. I bought an 04 na impreza with a seized compressor. Guessing it’ll be 700.00 for labor
I have a prob with my 1999 subaru forester' the AC take's time to start when i turn it on' after i start the vehicule
The mechanic wanted $550-$600 to diagnose and fix my ac. I spent less than a hundred bucks for r134a with dye, glasses and a uv light to indent icy the leak and o-rings. I love YouTube!
A vacuum really should have been applied before adding any refrigerant into the system. Any moisture in the atmosphere when the lines were disconnected is now inside the A/C lines which will eventually cause corrosion inside the lines or even compressor failure. The proper way of recharging the system should have been done with A/C gauges on the low and high side..
I’m pretty sure this video would save a lot of subie owners out there including me here
Awesome video. I like the way that you waited to make sure it worked.
What year and model is your car? I have 2006 outback and am having a problem with A/C leak as well.
Nice job man 🙂
I also like that Sony head unit you got there. Been running a Pioneer AVH-X5600S from Crutchfield with steering control hookup in my 2015 WRX. I could not stand the base head unit I had on my car. I'm normally not a complainer with the head units in cars but I hated it enough to get that around 6 months after getting the car. So far it is holding up well.
Though if I could go back I'd just not bother getting that same unit since it has a DVD player I NEVER use lol. Waste of money. Another critique of that stereo is it doesn't have great active noise cancellation so it picks up much of the road and cabin noises. Audio quality is pretty good though. Stock speakers and rest of audio system is stock.
I accidentally removed the bolt on my hp line and now my a/c doesn't work. The freon got all of over my hands and I guess I inhaled it. I should be alright tho no?
He's absolutely right, it is illegal to vent refrigerants into the atmosphere. One can take their vehicle to a local shop and have the refrigerant properly recovered for $55 or so. I have an EPA MVAC Technician Certification, I don't recommend "leak sealants" as the refrigerant passages are so small in modern automotive ac systems that one may end up with more problem than they solved. The O-Rings are a know leak source (definitely use the OME parts). I do like the video but I would never use the stop leak and apparently/fortunately he didn't either!
Bro. Great video. Question: my car when with AC on, feel like the clutch is hard and don't drive as smooth . What could it be . ?
Good video. I'm going to have to try this fix!
Was the compressor making a lot of noise and kicking on and off? That’s the problem I’m having. Any ideas?
