Thank you sir. You are the only one who can explain thoroughly, and not afraid to😊. So many are so secretive.

So nice of you! I'm glad it was useful! :)

This helps a lot. Thank you. One little O-ring can cause the leak. Sadly, most O-rings will require you to evac the system :(. A 25 cent part costs about $50 in refrigerant. And that is only if you have the tools. Evac systems cost $300+, Vacuum pump with manifold gauge costs $130+, Tank for evac is about $80, and lets not forget your labor cost lol. Doing it for the first time is costly, after that, it is a lot cheaper.

You're welcome! I mean, I wouldn't personally bother with the Evac systems/tank, just pay a garage to do that for you (Assuming casual DIY job) The manifold gauges and pump are a good investment, $100 for both.

@2:45 Thank you very much for the information about Refrigerant Leak Detector. They sell it in Harbor Freight for 69.99 (PITTSBURGH AUTOMOTIVE Electronic Refrigerant Leak Detector). Many positive comments about that device. I've never heard of such, thank you.

If you have an evaporator leak can you check condensate water under drain pipe under car while running car with ac on to see dye in this.

If that's where the leak is

The dye - can it clog anything, like the expansion valve ? The yellow glasses - does it protect the eyes from UV ?

@TutorialGenius 9 ай бұрын

I already talked about the glasses in the video. No, the dye doesn't clog anything.

Could ya purge it first; Then add the dye ?

@TutorialGenius Жыл бұрын

What are you are purging? air? contaminants? You can add it when you charge the system if you vacuumed it.

@juniorundersea Жыл бұрын

do you purge the blue line ?

@TutorialGenius Жыл бұрын

Everything gets purged! :)

@Swenser 10 ай бұрын

From what i saw, there was the air in the blue that was fed back to compressor. It wasnt purged during this video instructions. No wait. The blue hose was in vacuum. Right right right
