Subject:high side A/C unscrewed--now it wont blow cold?
From:Gary Goldey

My A/C high side line unscrewed itself a while back when camping. I was
wondering why- maybe the fittings need to be free of oil or something--but also a
more important question to me is why does the system act like it won't take a
charge again? Is that goofy "do-it-yourself" A/C recharge kit?  Or did that
expansion valve clog up again? I recently replaced the expansion valve and dryer
a few weeks before the camping trip.(A/C was working great before the
incident)
Thanks
