So heres the story. When i got my XJ, it had a sufficient amount of 134A in the system, and held a charge for at least the last year and a half.
I found the compressor was at fault for the system not working, so i "evacuated" the system, and replaced the compressor, and that was it. I recharged it, and it was working great for a week. Then after i let it sit for a couple weeks, it no longer worked, i checked the refrigerant, and it was dead empty.
I cant find any info on this, but im assuming these o-rings (line to compressor) are not supposed to look like this? I should have replaced them when i was in there, but i didnt :smiley-scared003: It looks like they are completely crushed, so im not sure how well they are sealing on the new (used) compressor.
Also, does anyone know if there is a torque spec for the bolt from the AC line to the compressor? Maybe i over-tightened it?
