ac condensor blew
i was putting the fan infront of the ac condenser but i had to take off a hose on top of the condensor radiator thing to get the fan out so i unhooked it my car was cold and it started spraying{i got some in my mouth and eyes it tastes gross and burns} then i put the bolt back in and it stopped for a second and blew the top off i dremeled out the nut and put a new one in. can i have caused any damage any where else? and how do i put pressure back in there ? also with the fan infront will i have enough space for the i/c and piping to go by it ?

Re: ac condensor blew
where do i begin....you do realize that's a high pressure closed system for a reason right? And there should be warning labels in the engine bay telling you not to ---- with it right? Also what car was this on cause i know on my civic i just pulled the radiator out and didn't have to move the pipes. That's also why they have places like jiffy lube that will drain your AC for you so you can ---- with it. But the fact that you broke open the system, then put it back on, and it blew up, yeah, that doesn't sound good. I'd bring that to a place that services AC, and have them to through the system because even if you didn't damage anything, you ac won't work worth ---- right now.

you need to have it professionally serviced at this point. I think they suck out any contaminents and then fill it with R134, and it probably won't be cheap. Yes jiffy lube will do it because i had them drain mine so i could yank it
