2013 VW Golf GTI A/C - Slow Leak

[Diametric]

Hello jfklein!

At the same time you're dealing with your GTI slow leak, I also had a slow leak on my 2001 Dodge Caravan.
In my case it was a bad high side port. I was able to unscrew the old one and install a brand new one.
I also found that all the rubber O-rings at the evaporator were all smushed, disfigured and a bit hard, so I replaced them all.
I'm thinking they could have been original.

At this point she's holding vacuum for days without any vacuum loss.
Reference material says yours has replaceable schrader valves but not a screw in replaceable port like this Caravan has.
I haven't read the entire thread in a while and can't remember but I figure you replaced that valve.

If not, it's really easy to replace.
