What Causes a Car to Leak Freon?

[EthanAnn]

The reason for a car leaking Freon may be due to leaks in the air conditioning lines, condenser, or compressor. Here are specific methods to check if a car's air conditioning is leaking Freon: 1. If you feel that the cooling effect of the compressor is not as cold as before, it can be judged that the car's air conditioning is leaking Freon. 2. If the car's air conditioning compressor is working normally and still cooling, and the compressor shuts down and starts normally when the temperature is reached, this is a sign of slight Freon deficiency. 3. If the car's air conditioning blows hot air and the compressor keeps running without shutting down, then the car's air conditioning is severely lacking Freon. 4. An electronic leak detector can also be used to determine leaks. During detection, move the probe over areas where leaks might occur. When the leak detector sounds an alarm, it indicates a significant leak at that spot.
