Cheers guys. Yeah I didn't even consider this being a risk because I installed the lines (or so I thought) the same way as I did on my other BRZ. But now I know better!

Awesome you found the problem. Wrap the lines with sheathing or something to prevent future rubbing. I always get odd look when people look at my truck or when I install something for some one. Everything is always wrapped with sheathing and heat tape and exhaust wrap and deadener. It looks weird even ugly at times but I'm never had chaffing problems or problems with leaks that weren't a defective hose or a loose fitting.

Ideally you'd get a shop to clear out the system before you open it. Surely there's some refrigerant left in the system, and its really awful for the environment if you let it go to the atmosphere. It's literally a crime to let it happen, but only if you're certified to work on A/C.
...which is the most moot law I've ever heard of. But I promise it's true.

You can chance it by replacing and filling but like ultra stated. I highly highly recommend having a shop vacuum it or you can rent one from autozone with a gauge set for around 200.

Further, compressors often require oil to function properly. If this compressor requires an oil charge with the refrigerant, you will need to know the correct volume of oil to use. Without it the compressor will make a horrible grinding noise and stop working. You can buy the gauges and the vacuum pump to do all this yourself, but seriously, I wouldn't bother if I were you. After you replace the line, take it to a reputable garage or A/C shop. It usually costs between $80 and $150 for them to hook up the machine, evacuate the system and recharge, and they can usually do it while you wait. Ask them to pull a vacuum on the system and hold it to make sure you don't have any leaks from the repair. |

Which relay in the engine bay fuse box is for the AC? Is it the heat one?

Easy questions. If my coolant is out or low will this stop my AC compressor and Fans from kicking on? I have tested all fuses, Relays, hot-wired my compressor and fans. Everything works. Even cabin temp sensor is reading correctly. I don't have a gauge for my AC's coolant lines though.

AC line has a hole in it due to the turbos intercooler piping rubbing on it. AC gauge shows 0 PSI. No Coolant pressure at all. Problem found, ordering a new line today.
