2 days ago accidentally losing up a bit the Allen bolt (like the one on the pic, but on the other side, same part), started to leak an air conditioning/Freon I think.

I screwed down as strong as I could but continued to leak a bit.

Now the air/gas is all gone.

Which part is this?

Can I drive the car if this air/gas is all gone?

Thanks

 

I think, and the operative word is "think", that is the fuel cooler assembly. The fuel is cooled by the AC.....

 

if so,

Can I drive the car if this air/gas is all gone?

 

Just checked my service manual, that is the fuel cooler. I do not think the fuel cooler not operating is a big deal since it is removed in some big engine builds, but you may have lost all your AC refrigerant and who knows if the compressor should be run dry for long periods. I assume the pressure switch will keep it from cycling on with no refrigerant ,but who knows... ask Kaspar or Sharkey...

 

Thanks KPG!

I just need to know if I can drive the car to the dealer to change the A/C, 80 miles from home?

 

Pierre - we are too much alike (remember the ypipe). Where you installing the TB and plenum when this happened? Ill let you guess why I asked that question.

That is the fuel cooler and KPG's advice is spot on!

Next time you start pulling stuff apart give me a pm and I can probably tell you what NOT to do (Im talking from experience)
