Thank you sir. You are the only one who can explain thoroughly, and not afraid to😊. So many are so secretive.

[pokefan]

This helps a lot. Thank you. One little O-ring can cause the leak. Sadly, most O-rings will require you to evac the system :(. A 25 cent part costs about $50 in refrigerant. And that is only if you have the tools. Evac systems cost $300+, Vacuum pump with manifold gauge costs $130+, Tank for evac is about $80, and lets not forget your labor cost lol. Doing it for the first time is costly, after that, it is a lot cheaper.

Thank you so much for a very comprehensive and easy to follow video tutorial. I have some mechanical background but not familiar with hvac. Your video answered every question I had. Thank You Mate!!!

[jamesflickinger]

Wow ! Wonderful job on the video. Really detailed. Thank you Mr. :)

[michaelclark]

Thank you I was about to do a leak test with dye .you said there might be dye in already and you was right

[ThamMalaysia]

The dye - can it clog anything, like the expansion valve ?

The yellow glasses - does it protect the eyes from UV ?

[olenaerhardt]

@2:45 Thank you very much for the information about Refrigerant Leak Detector. They sell it in Harbor Freight for 69.99 (PITTSBURGH AUTOMOTIVE Electronic Refrigerant Leak Detector). Many positive comments about that device. I've never heard of such, thank you.

[saulruvalcaba]

Great video, I'm new to this so the detail you go Into is appreciated

14:46 Recharge Low Side With Gas (not liquid)

[urielvillagran]

Could ya purge it first; Then add the dye ?

[TheEugenebarwise]

Hey thanks for video can i ask where do i get that fittings on your manifold gauges where you connect the red and blue cpuplers on i want those what is it called and where do i get them

[haydnmccormick]

If you have an evaporator leak can you check condensate water under drain pipe under car while running car with ac on to see dye in this.

[UFGator]

Long-winded video with good information.

[WilliamVG]

Will that same dye be compatible with older R22. I have a home AC I like to check.

[crabapple]

is this the same s the dye used to find oil leaks ?

[qegvWH]

can uv dye use to find engine oil leak?

[robertcarson]

I just wanted to know how to add dye and make decisions on dye results, I.e., tighten parts, replace hoses, get a new compressor, etc. Far too wordy explaining ancillary junk.
