A/C line leak?
 
So I've had my Stillen G3's installed for about a year. When I had them installed, I now believe the holes that had to be cut were cut a little too low, making the intake tube sit on top of the A/C line. I have no cold air whatsoever. I took it in to the dealership to have them see what the problem was, and they said the intake tube has made a dent in the aluminum A/C line. They checked for leaks and put dye in the freon to see if there was a leak, and they found nothing. I drove the car home and by the time I made it home, all of the freon had leaked out. Is the only thing it could be is the A/C line leaking?

I just found in a search on here where this has happened with the rubbing of the G3 intakes on the A/C line for other members. So I'm guessing if I'm getting a leak, it's from the A/C line...so I will have to get a new one?

yea, stillen provides heat wrap that you are supposed to put over your A/C lines.

Pretty expensive to get your A/C lines replaced. I think someone here said it was about $700-$900 with labor.

Great. I was quoted $400 from my local shop I deal with...is there any way to repair this without buying a new one? Run some JB Weld through it maybe to seal a small hole/crack?
