Thread: One for the fridgies

@20psi loss an electronic detector should pick it up if its in the evap, I'd be reluctant to swap any part without knowing exactly where the leak is.
I'd be going over any O ring joints with good old bubbles and an electronic detector.

The leak additives only work when the loss is around 20% of charge over about three months IIRC, so only for really small leaks and you have to be really careful as they crystallize in the presence of moisture, this is their mode of operation so the system has to be nice and dry, e.g. I've seen blocked capillary tubes in small commercial systems when used without changing the drier.

As FWIW Electrolux ok Super Seal ACR for warranty use.
Talking to one of their engineers, it was tested it for 18 months (when they still had the factory at Orange) and had no downsides except for a 2% perfoemance loss.
A tech bulletin was issued mandating its use in any suspected evap or hot gas line (door frame) leaks.

Maybe message 460cixy?
Matt would know who to trust around town to look at it.

I didn't reply because it was Deafener related but I'd let Rick or Paul work on my vehicle without hesitation & I've never met either of them ,so their advice is worth considering.

AFAIK they could be a couple of Flash Harrys (Spivs) with toothbrush Mos but I doubt that very much.


Sorry lads. It was a joke.

I'm doing a "Rick", skiving off at a café. Bloody hard to drink coffee through a mask.

Noice!

You need to wander over the border, we dropped the mask requirement on Monday night.

Getting to those o rings looks simple enough......

Tried ALL those "magic" remedies! My old D1 is on its 3rd evaporator! Some of those original evaporators were pieces of ****e. The only way is to bite the bullet and removed the dash! It is unlikely to be any "O" ring or any other type of connection.

But Jaysuz doesn't everything else look difficult!


I see you took my advice re a 1Kg of C4 Plastic (OOPS. that was some other geezer wasn't it?) still, the effect was the same.

I suppose what you really need then is one of those Irish Masks with a lot of 3/8" holes in them & use a straw..


Sorry Spudfan

Yer know, you really are going to need to buy a new Driver's seat, the white one in the foreground you are sitting in is going to play merry hell with your spine, down the track.
