Thread: Air - Conditioning Fix

Sorry to say but if you don't know what you are looking at you are at the mercy of the ac mechanic. You would be better of spending your time and asking around for a good ac mechanic who won't try to sell you all new stuff straight up without looking properly at what you have.
At a minimum you will need a new dryer, evac, oil and regas.

Hi Manofaus

That's why we're members here

Those that know pass on their knowledge to us that don't ... and you provided some valuable information in your reply

It's a matter of getting my head around what needs to be done .... should be done ...and avoid being lead down the "you need to replace everything path"

If any members in Perth have had their air conditioning systems repaired I'm happy to get a quote from their repairer to get the system working.


Cheers

All you need is a vacuum pump (gee's there cheap these days)

and a hose and manifold set ...

bloody hell this stuff is cheap ... 10years ago when I bought this gear is was very expensive, even 2nd hand.

Then grab some Hychill -30 from your local bursons store to charge it up with. When your ready to go you'll get lots of advice from everyone on here.

So your about $150 for the required tools ... Maybe $30 for a small disposable tin of bang gas from Bursons ( I buy the 4.5kg bottles ).... and your away. You can also regass the old pre-R134 classic cars by unscrewing the quick release fittings from the hoses.
