AC FOR CAR

Hi , Looking for someone who can fix my aircon in my car, Had it regased twice, But still no luck, There must be a leak some where.
It needs to be pressure tested. You may need to go to a dealer as most small garages here don’t have all the equipment needed.

When I had a leak in my system they put a fluorescent dye in the system and the leak showed up bright blue with a UV light.
Easy enough to fix the leak and the dye stayed in.
Pressure testing is a far more accurate method for leak detection.

You are right up to a point Billy. A pressure test will confirm a leak but it will NOT show you where it is. The dye test does both.

You can hear the leak because of the pressure!
Trust me classic man I had a garage in London and was certificated at air con for cars.

Sorry Billy I have to disagree. You will not find a small weep by listening for it. I had one which emptied the gas in over a month it was due to a tiny leak on a hose connector. The dye showed it beautifully.
OK I give up - you win.

It wasn't supposed to be a competition, just an exchange of experiences for others to benefit from.
Cheers.
