Thread: D1 Air Conditioner failed......... in Dubbo but will be Brisbane tomorrow

Connecting a good set of gauges to the system [ one on the HP side, one on the LP side] will show if the system is up to pressure. A refrigerant leak is usually accompanied by an oily residue , a visual check is the first step. After fixing the leak,before re-gassing, a vacuum pump should evacuate the system for at least an hour, to clear any moisture. The ability to hold vacuum normally indicates no leaks. Each system holds a definite weight of refrigerant, too much gas is as bad as too little. If your mechanic simply attached the gas bottle to the system & gave it a squirt, without going thru the correct procedure, find another mechanic. Bob
