Once again, my freon has leaked down to a point where the AC cycles every 5 seconds and cooling at any speed is nil. There is still pressure in the system.

QUESTION:

How many V/S70 owners have had the evaporator replaced and solved all problems?

I change the cabin filter regularly so I am wondering if the evap has a leak or could it be somewhere else. The accumulator does not appear to leak, no yellow dye on the outside. I suspect the low port schrader valve 'might' be a problem, but that is not confirmed - yellow dye is present but could have been there after putting it into the system.

I really don't want to have to spend a couple of days tearing the car apart and find the evaporator is pretty good shape.

By the way, I charged the system last October and it lasted until it got hot this week.

Aaaarrrrrrgh...
