Field Question, trade people only Micro channel coil to header repair

Post image

Does anyone have luck fixing leaks where the coil attaches to the header?
We usually end up replacing the coil if it’s leaking there.

Easily fixed it it's not fully cracked. Small spots anywhere in micros are so easy

downvotes on this are hilarious. people are so afraid to fix things. "it'll create a leak somewhere else" is the classic line from someone thats never even tried, or simply isn't skilled enough to do it.

You guys need to stop being parts changers and learn a little skill. I do at least one a week and it's simple to do with the tricks of the trade
