Hey guys, i had my car serviced at Acura not to long ago, when i brought it home it was parked for a few weeks since iv been driving around in my other car.

I turn on the A|C, and no cold air.. and it started to sound like boiling water/tea kettle in the passenger side glovebox area.

I popped the hood, and viola.. the goddamn thing is disconnected somehow!

Here is a picture:




Do i just somehow reconnect that?? whats the proper way of fixing this.. and will my A\C have to be RECHARGED now? and how much does that usually cost.

Thanks

 

No you need to replace that hose and the reciever/ drier, then have it recharged. That isn't disconnected its broken.

 

I can't just just use some adhesive welding glue and stick it in there... and then charge it?

 

Your kidding right?

 

Hmmm ,, why?

I mean that pipe just goes right in there.. am i missing something?


Alos, how much would parts and charge approximately cost?

 

The ac system contains pressure. It varies as your ac works. That is a low side hose but you can't just glue it together. Get it fixed right and do as stated before. Most ac repairs aren't cheap. Don't forget that they will have to inspect the system after that is repaired to insure there aren't any other problems.
