Kudos to see a willingness to problem solve with the cheapest option first rather than jumping straight to replacing the whole item. Great work ethic.

MisterGreen is very generous with all these repairs. Maybe make an update video summarizing the costs of the repairs and refurbishments of Millennium Falcon?

Very cool seeing the inner workings of Millennium Falcon! Even on 21st century technology, old standbys like WD-40 still have their use.

Very nice to see a mechanic trying to repair before replacing. Yay for Nasir!

Yay Nassir is back

Nasir is back. Love that guy!

Since you don’t have a leak when stationary you could have a leak in the Ac compressor that is only leaking when in use. Just guesswork from my part. I love these repair videos!

Now Millennium Falcon is correct again, ready for 1000 km challenge! This weekend is perfect weather for it.

Well, that was fast, seems you are in good hands. Preventative maintenance is critical to components exposed to the elements. So refreshing how honest Bilexperten and their mechanics are.

I noticed the Texa air con recharge machine has been loaded with UV dye in the compressor oil so if a refrigerant leak is suspected in the future it should easily show up under a UV lamp..

Often times there can be a leak on the refilling valves themselves. If you check for leaks, don't forget these valves.

Nice video! I can't, however, understand why you folks speak such good English! You're a great asset, Bjorn and I'm so happy you seem to have completely cleared your COVID.

I love these repair videos, looking forward to the follow up to see if you have a leak or not.

It's amazing having such great mechanics and fitters with that much knowledge so close. Good to see and hear from them again. The yodas of evs.

Just ADD trace fluid. Its green flouresent. Easy to spot leaks.

Looking forward for roadtrip to artic circle take 2

Super good insights on the Tesla M-S Servicing and repair! Thanks for the insights to Nessir, Björn and kudos to MisterGreen for supporting all this!

Would be interesting to check the supercharging speed after this

Great series of videos 👍

Always very interesting videos. Thank you Bjorn and MisterGreen. 🟢 👍

Good stuff.. my higher Mileage p85 had a strange rattling noise and I thought for sure it was something to do with the air suspension. Tesla priced out new air shocks, but when they looked at tit..t hey decided that it was the wheel bearings.. suspension was good. And, what a difference in ride quality. It seems that the air suspension, while expensive, lasts a long time.

Thanks Bjørn. Looking forward to a new charging speed test, as I have the same slow charging speed, but with no error message.

thank you for this video, will check my model s 2014 too.

Well the 700gr gass is not correct value for this car. You can check the RH frunck cover and you can check it, it should be 750gr. Also it is possible to inside the car from the AC core inbeded in HVAC system. But overhal it verry nice to see Milenioum Falcon repaired

no, you are losing WAY too much. the system is leaking. call a local aircon installer, they have proper "sniffers" that can detect the leak. the bosch guys do good work, but looking for sweating joints is LOT leak detecting. the connectors used in cars often leak under pressiure, not vacuum. and the vaccum of those machines is not very good anyways. dont go to bosch, go to a actual aircon specialist and let them use a proper measuring took. should take just a few minutes to find the leak(s) if its losing that much.

how can an air conditioning system / AC influence fast charging, cool the battery? The battery modules are simply cooled with cooling water and a radiator and fan? not through the ac system ..... Think that there is just air in the cooling water system so that the battery cannot be optimally cooled. Radiators have been replaced and this problem was not there before, right? air conditioning was not optimal at the time and made hissing noises, but super charging was then just optimal, wasn't it?

Dear Björn, thanks alot for this video. Will you try the trip to arctic circle center again?

Bjorn i just love these fixing videos Please give millennium falcon a steam clean underneath for his birthday

so the air conditioning provides cooling during super charging,how does this wurk??? I thought that there was normal cooling water running through the battery / modules and being cooled by the radiator plus riding-air or fan-air during standstill?

Hej, har en MS-13. The sunroof sounds a bit of a hacking on opening, how to fix?

Great video!. subscribed.

@björn did he say anything about weather problems like the ones om the suspension would be avoided with some kind of maintanence? If you look at every other var brand there are checkups and fixes done very year seems in the long run teslas need som tender lovin aswell

Trigger's Broom

Is tesla actually using active A/C - cooling for charging? I did think it was just normal radiator with water and fan, and that the a/c is for the passenger compartment?

You really created suspense for this episode :)

“Grease it up, and get some movement going on.” - Bjørn, 2021.

If one sensor is rusted, you can bet the other 3 are well on their way.

Think the ac issue will be back..

yea prob there is another leak somewhere else like inside the cabin condenser or it occurs under pressure, also the ac compressor could be wear out and as it operates it could loose some gas, very tricky stuff hope you sort it bjorn,

Next time there is a small malfunction continue on with the trip this is supposed to be real world test!

Sometimes the solenoid block is leaking or the solenoid itself is not 100% tight anymore and so over time the air is pushed back from the suspension into the reservoir.

On the flip side - this is the hassle with used cars. Something goes wrong - you need to find who can fix it, try some solutions, spend time. Then something can go wrong again, more less anytime. New cars break as well but they are considerably less hassle free.

Just checked the pipes for leaks with a leak checker or just visual inspection.

They should check for leakage with an UV lamp. I don't think the AC has anything to do with the battery cooling. And the battery temperature looked good. I think it is just the normal aging of battery. A diagnosis system would help. In check up they should have seen the corroded tilding sensor and exchanged beforehand. If you buy Febi Bilstein original manufacturer it is also much cheaper than from Tesla but much better quality than afermarket parts.

The Arab guy looks very expertise. Remind me of Ctroen. The seesaw lever in adjusting hydrau pneumatic lateral.

There is most certainly a leak somewhere. But it can be very hard to find. There is just so much you can see from the "outside" of the frunk bay. The first thing I would do, is to sniff the system with a electronic leak detector. To isolate the problem, the next step might be to separate the different pipes and components to individually pressure test them with positive pressure N2. That would lead you to the right component or pipe section. The refrigerant circuit on the P85 is kind of special, because in addition to the normal HVAC evaporator, it has a evaporator to cool the battery pack. I'm a refrigeration technician, but I know next to nothing about automotive systems.

Haha I love the norenglish in this vid. "It is important to check this mechanism so it is not sitting fast" 😂

Hmm.. isn't AC on this old Tesla only for cooling air i the cupe (air conditioning)?

That height sensor looks like the same one fitted to Range rovers.

If u have rubber hvac pipes it will always be some missing gass after time...some manufacturer have aluminium pipes because of weight....

I would love to buy Millenium Falcon off of you when you get your new Model S. Is it possible?

I think you should check out another service station. They don't sound as Pro as you might expect. Greetings from Namsos:D

I would recommend to make leaking test with hydrogen. I had small leaks in my car. Every year I have to fill in over again 900g. Pipes are ok and nobody could find where gas goes. One company filled in system with hydrogen and turn on fan. Gas was leaking from evaporator.

So what is your plan for rinsing the bottom of the car? Maybe you could install some watering heads under the place where you park, and then boom. Problem is that this is mainly needed in winter, and what if the water goes everywhere and freezes... maybe this should be installed in the garage where it's over the freezing point, and with proper drains to not make a mess... just spitballing some ideas, probably already have been solved by someone clever, maybe there's even some ready made products that help with the bottom rinsing... a car bidet LOL.

The technician seems really nice and all but did anyone else notice on his printout that his machine charged a R134A car with R1234yf? I hope it was just a misprint. Just as other commenters have mentioned, a more experienced tech would have put UV dye in the system the first time. I’d bet money that the problem is in the battery coolant pump and/or the active shutters not opening. It’s not even hot in Norway right now, 250g down on refrigerant is not the problem. Please keep us updated! Coming from a fellow 2013 P85 owner :)

definitely leaking..

Bjørn is it worth to invest this kind of many to the car that has 350k on the odo maybe is time for battery pack to serve as power wall and rest to the junk?

Throwing a sensor in is essentially firing up the parts cannon

My condenser had a pinhole leak that was detected by sniffer. You have to be careful what dye/oil you put into a hybrid or EV air-conditioning system. It must be non-conductive or you'll get compressor voltage leaking to ground. In fact you should never service a hybrid or EV air-conditioning system with a system that has been used for conventional AC systems or you'll contaminate it.

They fixed it broken

It would be nice to see Nassir go a little Sandy Munro on the iX3, ID.4, P2 and Q4 to compare different design pros and cons.

My gess is that you have a leak for sure, maybe in a new part. The parts that you change are original ones, or aftermarket? Aftermarket refrigerant parts are never near as good as original ones. Lets see in the next days/weeks how that goes.... Edit: By the way, eletronic leak detectors are much better in finding small leaks than the UV dye usualy used in the automotive world

i hope the model s gets fixed and back to working condition

Sometimes the condenser gets a leak from damage due to road debris. So the leak is not in the pipes or compressor. Harder to find the leak in the condenser as it is tucked away under the front fascia. This happened to my parent's 2013 P85+. Tesla replaced almost everything before they finally found the leak in the condenser, all out of pocket.

These guys are Tesla service rock stars.

Good thing the refrigerant is r1234, then the global warming potential is low even though it might be leaking a lot!

👍🤓👍

Nassir with awesome Norwegian-English😁👌

It's probably leaking in the dash. He should look at the drain pipe with the UV light

this will be a stupid things in the winter for the cars with heat pump. you lose refrigerant stop heating. Should have an redundant system for the heating in the winter :)

This is why alot of people opt for Toyota or other reliable brands, After this video i wouldn't touch a Tesla to many issue on par with Jaguar, Land Rover.

So, leaking AC...
