Yeah I did on mine, didn't leak after I'd pulled it off as it was only new [emoji1303]

Fitted the new Pioneer head unit and Philips +130 globes that never turned up in Alice Springs a month ago....
That means I don't have to have my little Bose bluetooth speakers sitting on the passenger seat to hear my tunes and I'll have half a chance of seeing at night. [biggrin]
blew the aircon lines.
makes 1 hell of a mess.
i think the a/c will need a redesign. highside pressures too high., bigger evaperator?
Bigger condenser or more air flow.Quote:

so i;ll make some up. if the high side is meant to be between 1400 and 1800 then mine was sitting at 1850. i bit high, but nothing to worry about (or so i was told).
whats air-off temps?
Air off = delivery temp out of the outlets, plus it's nice to have a suction pressure to make sure they correlate.
It blows me away (no pun intended) what you see on car systems vs what is normal in industrial/commercial systems with the same refrigerant.
What blew ?
I'd expect the HP switch to trip before a hose fitting popped.
a hose popped. not sure which one, i'll take a pic tomorrow.Quote:

hell yeha. i heard it go bang at the traffic lights. pulled around the corner, opened the bonnet and thought it was a coolant line case it was green and coolant like.
i wont get home til tomorrow, can i just use water to clean it off?
Being less than 20°C outside today, a popped hose is just bad workmanship on someone's behalf. I bought a proper crimper a couple of years ago and you have to give them heaps to get a good grip.
