[QUOTE="cobrajeff96, post: 1549634, member: 29141"] Dash removal is actually quite easy. I could get one out in less than an hour. Anyways, did they inject UV dye into the system? Makes pinpointing the leak very easy. Usually if the vacuum test fails, they can pressurize the system and you just listen for the hiss. If the many o-rings throughout the system don't get lubricated with the PAG/refrigerant mix at least twice a year they dry out. Most likely it is just a hose connection point leaking past the o-rings, or at multiple connections. If something ever failed like a compressor, it's best to just replace every component in the system before trying to get A/C working again. Never is a bad thing to make the whole system new again, and then you have good A/C for a decade or more. Buy once, cry once. [/QUOTE]
