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

    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.

    • @TutorialGenius
      @TutorialGenius  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      You're welcome!
      I mean, I wouldn't personally bother with the Evac systems/tank, just pay a garage to do that for you (Assuming casual DIY job)
      The manifold gauges and pump are a good investment, $100 for both.

    @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.

    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.

    The dye - can it clog anything, like the expansion valve ?
    The yellow glasses - does it protect the eyes from UV ?

    • @TutorialGenius
      @TutorialGenius  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I already talked about the glasses in the video.
      No, the dye doesn't clog anything.

    Could ya purge it first; Then add the dye ?

    • @TutorialGenius
      @TutorialGenius  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      What are you are purging? air? contaminants?
      You can add it when you charge the system if you vacuumed it.

    can uv dye use to find engine oil leak?

    • @TutorialGenius
      @TutorialGenius  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes you can!! and fuel leaks too! Make sure the dye is especially for oil and fuel. But its the same principle, yes!

    @juniorundersea ปีที่แล้ว +1

    do you purge the blue line ?

    • @TutorialGenius
      @TutorialGenius  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Everything gets purged! :)

    • @Swenser
      @Swenser 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      From what i saw, there was the air in the blue that was fed back to compressor. It wasnt purged during this video instructions. No wait. The blue hose was in vacuum. Right right right

  • @crabapple6775
    @crabapple6775 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    • @TutorialGenius
      @TutorialGenius  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Same, no! Similar? yes!

      @joesalorio4140 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, you can use it to find AC, Oil and Coolant Leaks!
