A little A/C help

[Demeech]

Hey guys...I had my a/c recharged and was told it was holding pressure. The cold air lasted a few hours, and then when I got back in the car the next day it wouldnt blow cold anymore. Any ideas of what this could be? Do i need to replace the condenser??? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

You have an '03, so 4 yrs old.

You will need to reapir or replace whatever part is leaking.
Might be the condenser, but prolly not; they rarely leak unless punctured by a stone.

The fact that you went to a shop, and they recharged it, indicates you've had a leak for at least a little while.
Since they didn't do anything to fix it, the leak is (obviously) still there.

Go to a reputable AC shop and tell them the problem.
They will inject a dye when they re-charge, and look for the leak point with a Blacklight that illuminates the dye.
Then you'll know what needs replacing, and how much.

Good luck,
-Rick

More than likely a high side pressure leak, won't show up during the vacuum procedure.
