If you DIY, I recommend some system to track all the different size

one of those magnetic dishes but I was overwhelmed by so many different
screws

The CPS Leak Seeker model LS790b I paid about $250 for found leaks
that the cheap methods such as dye didn't. It's paid for itself several
times
over. Someone on the list suggested that brand.
Since it has several sensitivity settings, one must learn how to use it by
trial
and error.

Would a sniffer detect a leak in the evaporator
It sometimes trashes expansion valves/orifice plates, but mostly works ok.
It's really a I just want it to work for a season quickly, and on the

I confirmed that the evaporator is the source of the leak using a sniffer.
Recharged with a partial can, BLOWS ICE COLD, evapectomy postponed for now.
Did not try the sealer in a can.

Yes, but some one mentioned using the sealer in a can in a Ford recently,
which might save me a lot of time and expense.

unless you have replaced the orings since you got the car, I'd
suggest getting a kit from Q and replace the orings on the

It does not take a real long time, but the expansion valve needs

Since you did all the orings last year, it could be a pinched oring.
