Refrigerant Line
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Isuzu Axiom. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Restriction in the refrigerant line will be indicated by:
- Suction line - A restricted suction line will cause low suction pressure at the compressor, low discharge pressure and little or no cooling.
- Discharge line - A restriction in the discharge line generally will cause the discharge line to leak.
- Liquid line - A liquid line restriction will be evidenced by low discharge and suction pressure and insufficient cooling.
Refrigerant flexible hoses that have a low permeability to refrigerant and moisture are used. These low permeability hoses have a special nylon layer on the inside.
