Car AC Leaks: The Prohibited Method and Costly Repairs

A recent video by mechanic Juan José Ebenezer, known as @talleresebenezer, sheds light on a common yet complex issue faced by car owners: air conditioning leaks. The video demonstrates the use of a fluorescent additive, or contrast, to pinpoint the source of a refrigerant leak. This method, which involves adding a glowing substance to the AC system that becomes visible under UV light, is highlighted by Ebenezer as now being prohibited, sparking discussion among viewers in the comments section regarding its legality and alternatives. The mechanic shows a vivid green liquid leaking from the car's air conditioning drain, indicating a leak from the evaporator. He explains that while the evaporator itself is a relatively inexpensive part, its location deep within the car's dashboard necessitates extensive disassembly of the vehicle's interior for replacement. Ebenezer warns that improper reassembly can lead to further issues, such as rattling noises or missing parts, emphasizing the importance of skilled repair work for this particular problem. The video serves as an informative guide for car owners experiencing persistent AC refrigerant loss.
