    Okay not sure if this is the right forum but doesn’t hurt to ask.

    my ac has been recharged, it blows cold at night and hot in the day. Thought it was a leak. Added Freon and dye and a sealant to it. Looked with a uv light and did not see a leak anywhere. I looked for an hour up and down the entire engine and nothing…

    I have replaced both filters
    New blower motor felt it wasn’t blowing strong.

    I’m at a loss, any ideas?

    Sorry , have to ask, who added the Freon? Was it added by a legitimate shop or yourself. It makes a difference.

    It was added by a legit shop and then I added those three things myself after the issues started happening.

    The r134a needs to be put in the system by weight using a set of manifold gauges , to much or to little is incorrect. No sealant should ever be used. Since you said a shop did this, why wouldn’t you just take it back.
