Well guys, my sniffer / leak detector says the evap is leaking and there is a very slight leak around the expansion valve.
Dan - good idea - the hoses are original as far as I know, but I'm using the Envro-safe propane/butane blend. I think those molecules are much larger than R-134 and don't leak out of old non-barrier hoses? Mitch - yes on the vacuum. System was flushed out with dry C02 gas, then vacuum applied. It very rapidly brought the vacuum down to 25 inches, and then within another few minutes was at 29 inches. I left the vacuum pump on it for another thirty minutes per the Cliplight instructions, and then charged it and installed the sealer. I had nice cold AC after one week, and then it went downhill fast. All the work and the installation of the sealer was on Saturday 8 June, and now just ten days later to system is so low that the compressor won't engage. ------------- Max Charleston SC _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
