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

    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.

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

    • @TutorialGenius
      @TutorialGenius  Год назад

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

    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.

    Could ya purge it first; Then add the dye ?

    • @TutorialGenius
      @TutorialGenius  Год назад +2

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

    do you purge the blue line ?

    • @TutorialGenius
      @TutorialGenius  Год назад +1

      Everything gets purged! :)

    • @Swenser
      @Swenser Год назад

      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

    can uv dye use to find engine oil leak?

    • @TutorialGenius
      @TutorialGenius  Год назад +1

      Yes you can!! and fuel leaks too! Make sure the dye is especially for oil and fuel. But its the same principle, yes!

  • @crabapple6775
    @crabapple6775 Год назад

    • @TutorialGenius
      @TutorialGenius  Год назад

      Same, no! Similar? yes!

    @robertcarson2228 2 месяца назад

    I just wanted to know how to add dye and make decisions on dye results, I.e., tighten parts, replace hoses, get a new compressor, etc. Far too wordy explaining ancillary junk.

      Ngl its nice explaining the system so we have a better understanding of hoe things work and therefore know why you are doing what you are.
