@@LADLAK Thank you and hope it helped a little!

@@joser.7702 There's just the thermal expansion valve on this model.

@my-honest-review Yes I figured so I flushed out the lines separately & it didn't have it. Thanks for the info and quick reply. Your Videos are on %💯 on Target 🎯 👍🏼

One more Question : I'm going to back flush the Evaporator. If the Expansion Valve is stuck shut it should not flush correct & if not on which side do I back flush,the Low side in OR the Hi side in to back flush ?

@@joser.7702 Great question, and I what I would do is alternative your flush inlet so that you'd be hitting both sides of that expansion valve. Just be gentle and don't use too much pressure.

@@joser.7702 I appreciate that and I hope you get your system back online soon!

@@twown You've got other issues then, try treating your environment. Your home and yard.

@@my-honest-review It's true. I've gone medieval on my home with salt and baking soda. I'm using Advantage X now, and it's working well.

@@yabasvlog3439 Appreciate ya!

@@darrens1322 Indeed, I've always used them on both my vehicles...one's 22 years old and has got 167k miles on it, and the other has 330k miles on it. I've had both of them since they were new.

@@joeianniello You're welcome Joe, thanks for hanging out today!

@@perryberens618 Hey thanks for hanging out today. The oil in the pump itself does get a little cloudy over time, but it doesn't effect the vacuuming process of your ac system. You just have to make sure it stays above the minimum level so the pump will not burn out. Hope that helps!

@@quranicviewofislam5044 It sounds like you are having the same problem as me here. You have a restriction in your system somewhere, and it's a good chance it's your expansion valve. They do indeed go bad from time to time. I'd start there. Hope this helps!

@@JmguyN8 Not sure, it may because they don't want you to overfill it. You got to be careful for sure. Best to get close, then keep checking the level and "sneak up on it" little bits at the time when in doubt.

@@dennissecor8092 You're most welcome Dennis, I'm glad it helped a bit, thanks for hanging out!

@@jeffkeryk3550 Much appreciated, thanks for hanging out!

@@estebanmiguel6019 I appreciate that, he's a good guy 👍

@@melrobinson6919 I certainly appreciate your feedback, that means a lot! Those little tricks like the tape around the swivel I picked up from my grandaddy long time ago, he was such a practical man. And yes indeed, with this AC stuff..I've learned you just have to take your time and don't rush. Hey, thanks again for hanging out and good luck with the Aveo!

@@Kenichi_one Totally understandable, good question.. And the simple answer is this: Use the high side (along with the low side) when vacuuming the system out. And use only the low side when adding the refrigerant after the vacuuming process. If you are using the gauge set to only add refrigerant to begin with (not going thru the whole vacuuming process) then you're only using the low side. Hope that helps!

@@my-honest-reviewthanks, I get it now :)

@@theodio1 Hi there, the car is off during the vacuuming process, yes.

@@ko2890 I appreciate the feedback and glad it helped a bit! And believe me, AC work is indeed tedious, so we all need to take it slow 🐌 (unless of course you're a pro at it)

@@xOneCinema only way to say it! 😁

@@hey_youtubeim_back2159 Hey there, thanks for watching, it wound up being the expansion valve, and you can find that video here if you like ruclips.net/video/1PBz5_kW6q4/видео.htmlsi=LNDGKeOs5Db0oqvG

@@ZombieGameZ Hi there, thanks for hanging out! When you hook the vacuum pump up, you're only drawing out air and moisture. Refrigerant will have already been reclaimed at that point (most shops will do this at no charge...you just have to call around). Now... at the stage of the game you're at, you can try to "top it off", but you'll need to bleed the air out of the blue line as well when you have it all hooked back up. And do that by cracking the blue line itself at the manifold to let the refrigerant in the system backfeed up thru the hose. Then close it back and you're good to go. Of course bleed the yellow line as well like in the video. High side doesn't even need to be hooked up at all. If all else fails, just start over.. painful but necessary. Hope this helps!

@@my-honest-review thank you for the response!

@@ZombieGameZ my pleasure 😊

@@ShowtimeWorthy It sounds like you have to replace that line assembly from the condenser to the evaporator, not a bad job at all on alot of vehicles.

@@smartboy20070 This one is made by Welmate, and they stick pretty good, the link is in the description if you want to check it out. Also, I like Salonpas, and I did a RUclips review on those here if you'd like to see it ruclips.net/video/Tb8MctZbEj8/видео.htmlsi=gmn7KXM7WzEaEoXj

@@wendellsmith1349 Much appreciated! Glad you found it helpful 💯

@@UrokLizard It has to do with the carrying agents within the aerosol mixture. I don't mind paying a few extra dollars for dupont because it doesn't run near as much on vertical surfaces as other brands I've tried.

@@Timmay-qf7xx For sure, not a bad idea at all 👍

@@ThatEggWoman You're most welcome, glad it helped! Yes, between this product and lidocaine patches (video here ruclips.net/video/Tb8MctZbEj8/видео.htmlsi=qMEBHYfiYvXafN3E if you'd like to see the review I did) I can keep alot of my pain at bay. God bless!

@@pyrathian Love it, I appreciate that! 🎨

@@SeanDoe86 On some AC systems the compressor is very stubborn to engage when doing a recharge. Try taking a dish cloth and running it under hot water and wrapping it around the can while trying to get it to go in, even squeezing the can slightly. Also, "play with" the valve on top of the can, twisting it back and forth as sometimes it will freeze up. Until your system "sees" enough refrigerant in the system it will not allow the compressor clutch to engage. It takes a bit of time. Ultimately, if you may have to jump the compressor to force it to come on to take the refrigerant, but do that as a last resort. Hope this helps!

@@my-honest-review thanks for responding! I actually jumped it with paperclip and it worked 👍 Forgot to plug something in so that may be reason compressor didn't start

@@my-honest-review hoping jumping it prematurely didn't harm compressor tho

@@SeanDoe86 That's great, glad it worked out! And you're welcome glad to help out a bit.

@@SeanDoe86 No it shouldn't have, because as soon as the refrigerant started to flow it was being lubricated (and the compressor already has oil in it anyway).

@@marcusmunn2013 What kind of car and is the check engine light on?

@@my-honest-review engine light isn't on and it's a 2008 Hyundai Elantra touring

@@marcusmunn2013 OK, I'd start with putting a good fuel injection cleaner like Lucas in the gas tank, and checking the air filter. Then, if still a problem, clean the throttle body. Start with the simple stuff.

@@my-honest-review thank you so much it is probably something like the air filter

@@marcusmunn2013 You're welcome, glad to help out a little 👍

@@kvasir40 If your system has a leak, the oil that has leaked out is very very small. It's not necessary to add any when doing a recharge unless a component has been replaced. If you want to add an ounce or so of PAG oil when you do a recharge, it certainly wouldn't hurt anything if you just want to be cautious. Thanks for watching!

@@antonmcesaro thats why I like AT205, its not thick like the others. It just softens the seals, rejuvenating them.

@@scrapahaulik5893 You might be right!

@@dporrasxtremeLS3 Thank you for that feedback Davil! I'm glad you found it helpful. My hope is to take the mystery out of car repairs so that the average guy or gal will have the confidence to tackle it 💯

@@Doug_Hefernen Yes, I have found that you get the best results the more the vehicle is driven after adding the AT205, simply because it does tend to separate from the oil when allowed to sit. And that's why it took a few days in the video for my leak to stop..I didn't drive enough initially.

@@my-honest-review I keep mine in a spray bottle to use on rubber weatherstrip, suspension,hoses etc etc.

@@Doug_Hefernen That is also a great use of this stuff 👍 (I even use on wiper blades)

@@motorwolfe Hey thanks for the tips, I love to hear everyone's personal experiences with this additive and the way/method everyone uses it. I have been pretty impressed so far. And I also have used it in a spray bottle like you suggest...I have used it on CV axle boots, rack boots, front end bushings, motor mounts, etc. Even wiper blades! Thanks for hanging out 👍

Sorry. I hit thumbs down by mistake.

@@miltechmoto Thanks for that tip, I think you're on to something there about the plugged breather tube. Although I haven't tried it yet on a diff, I would imagine that you'd potentially run into an issue if, like you say, if the gearbox can't breathe. And yes, gotta be careful how much you add with such a small capacity. Thanks for hanging out 👍

@my-honest-review yes the smaller the capacity the more likely you are to add too much. And like I said those types of seals, even brand new diff and axle seals are actually kind hard/stiff rubber from the get go. So I think from the factory the rubber shore hardness is calibrated for a different hardness, it's not just the shape. the engine and transmission oil seals seem just from feeling them, seem to be a bit softer from the get go. Just food for thought. Alternatively maybe he just added too much. But the thing is this product is not supposed to swell seals like other protroleum based conditioners. From the marketing it's supposed to kinda only get to the same softness as when it was new. Not go beyond that.

@@miltechmoto Yep, I think you are 100% right ✅

@@janpur1417That does make sense, because the surface area on that bell housing is pretty large. Thanks for hanging out and glad the video was helpful👍

@@roberthull4257 Unfortunately I have heard the same story from other folks who live in certain areas. It's hard to imagine a shop turning down free freon. But it happens. What you want to do is find a small mechanic that works on vehicles on the side and they have an AC reclaiming machine.. they will be tickled to take your refrigerant. Look on Marketplace for these guys, they're out there.

@@my-honest-review Thank you! That’s a great idea. I will do that right away.

@@videomaniac108 Yes you are so right, I need to start doing that 👍

@@videomaniac108 Technically it thins the oil just a hair, but its not noticeable. And that would make sense being that the AT205 to oil capacity ratio is so small.

@@ranger178 Very neat, thanks for sharing! I have never tried it on a transmission, but it should work the same way, like you say. It's some pretty good stuff. Not a miracle worker, but if it buys me some time its worth its weight in gold 💯

yeah, that's what the at 205 is just solvents to soften and swell seals

@@genehart261 I've never tried high mileage oil, but I do understand that's one of the perks, thanks for the suggestion!

@@smittysmitty4681 I'm almost certain that Denso (the same brand) is actually the OEM brand. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
