On top of my hose leak, now the R134a valve-core has started leaking.
Before that, I could add a can of juice and get about four days of cooling, before the pressure-switch would start shutting off the compressor.
The last can I added, I noticed the valve spewing a little.
I screwed the plastic cap on good and tight, but I didn't even get one cool day this time.
Are these valve-cores all the same, regardless of make/model ??
Although I have heard them called Schraeder Valves, I assume they are completely different from a tire valve, or are they ??
What kind of tool do I need to switch the core ??
Thanks.
