M20R factory a/c

[buddy]

I have a 2005 M20R with factory a/c and it looks like one of my evaporator coils is leaking. Does anyone have any ideas on who may have manufactured the system or where I might be able to find a coil? I was also thinking of trying to install a can of stop leak Freon in the system an see if the works or maybe pull the coil out an find a radiator shop that could possibly find the leak an repair it.

Anything with “stop leak” in the name be it for A/C, your tires, radiator, etc. should never be used on any type of vehicle.

Agreed, go with option 2 and have it repaired properly.

Do you know any refrigeration guys or anyone with a gas/refrigerant detector? Poke around with the probe and see what you can find? 

If all the pressure is gone, you may not find anything. What does the POH say about refilling the system? Engine running? I've seen techs fill with nitrogen with high psi just to listen for the leak. It may be Orings, and not a puncture.

Which refrigerant? 134?

I have found a few leaks using a UV dye Freon 134a and have replaced “0” rings and tightened fittings but now I found the UV dye in one of my condensate lines. Using a sniffer it appears to be the evaporator coil on the right side.

I think I’m done with this factory system and am now wondering if anyone has installed a Kellyaero system in there M20R now that I see they have an STC for the Ovation.

I haven’t but the cost would involve the labor to remove yours and the $30,000 to install the Kelly system.
