98 volvo S70 pipe cracked...

Post by Chad E. »

I had the airconditioning on yesterday and when I got home, I noticed water leaking badly from beneath the car. I believe that the airconditioning was so cold that it cracked the pipe. Does anyone know what this will cost to replace, or have fixed?

Thank you, Chad

Did you or a tech overfill the ac refrigerant and make the temp too cold?

I took it into Jiffy lube to have the radiator serviced. That was about a week ago and the A.C. was EXTREMELY cold after that. Before this happened, I posted a topic stating how I was seeing the air condensing while coming out of the vents, looking like a smokey substance.

I was wondering if Jiffy Lube should be held responsible or not, but I paid for it anyways.

Was it WATER or COOLANT leaking out? Because it's normal to drain some condensation after running the AC a while on a nice hot day.
