With a/c you usually have to replace the part that is leaking.hose,condensor,evaporator.or if its a seal,seal replacement,schrader valve etc.this needs to be done at a shop that does a/c work as the system will need to be evacuated,repaired,vacumed,recharged,proper oil installed and rechecked for leaks,and checked for proper operation.

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. It all depends where it is leaking. You can go to Autozone or Advanced and by the seal freon for leaks. There is also a can that shows where the leak is at. You could have an issue with the A/C compressor. I would try adding the freon first. The vehicle is eight years old. If it has been run a lot, it could be low. If not, just go ahead and buy the freon that stops leaks as well.

2003 Saturn Vue with 151000 miles on it, leaking clutch fluid and won't shift.

The leaking component must be found and replaced or repaired. I dont know how a "garage" could have bled the line with a leak in the system. Take it back, get your money refunded or make them find the leak and fix it.

I have a 2003 saturn vue 6 cylinder. my service engine soon light came on and my friend had a diagnostic tool and checked my computer and this code showed up, my friend reset it. it came back on after 12...

From the looks of it this is a very common problem with the 2002-2003 saturn vue. There was a Technical Service Bulletin from saturn about the problem, which means it happens alot but not quite enough to warrant a recall.

You need to replace your thermostat and it is a pain to do, the dealership will charge you about 2 hours flat rate to put it in.

Its not a huge deal to get it replaced right away, but the computer depends on the vehicle being a certain temperature and if it isn't then your performance/emissions will suffer.
