Replaced a bunch of O-rings yesterday, everything I could get to without a
major undertaking. Still leaked down to around 20"-25” Hg after 30-45 minutes.
I replaced the receiver dryer, charged the system with R134a and used the

You can find complete sets for a specific application for around $15.00 or
less. You can also buy the individual O rings, but I figure it can’t hurt to
have the whole set. About the only thing you might not need is the big seal/O
ring for the manifold on the compressor if one is used.

If you know what size the two compressor to manifold rings are I can probably
mail them to you in the morning, if green rubber O-rings are what you need.
I bought a universal Four Seasons R134 ring kit this summer and ended up using
none of them. I was replacing a compressor and liked the steel w

Unless you have an ac machine, leak detectors etc you are better off leaving it

Meh. It's going to a trusted indie this afternoon. I don't really care to do
AC work, and this way it's done right without screwing anything up in the
process.
The first time in probably 4-5 years I've had to defer to an outside mechanic,
so I can't complain. The important thing is to know y
Looks like a cheap cheap leak detector is about $25 from Amazon.

What would you be prepared to pay for a decent looking 87 420SEL?
Has 158K miles and looks good in photos.
Seller seems pretty stuck on his price as it has been for sale for at
least 6 months.
Asking price is $3500 Cdn.

How tough is it to get to? Based on my knowledge I'm assuming it's next to the

That is a problem, maybe THE problem...
Bubbling oil? I'd add an ounce or two of oil to replace what may have been
lost.

I would add that this is a native R-134a system, not a conversion. Also, low
side pressures did come up to the 30s when I added refrigerant, but dropped
when I closed the service valve to the can. I would assume this is due to the
low charge?

Here's what it was doing this morning, with an ambient in the low 80s:
Low side was at or near zero, high side was around 150. I put about half a can
in the system and got bubbles, but it was cooling slightly. Low side barely
came up, but high side remained at 150.
I left it at that, as I'm p

Always suspect the high side service valve. For some reason the
"standard" quick-connect valves are anything but on the high side, and
I've resorted to getting adjustable depth connectors on my hose set.
It's very very easy to damage the Schroeder valve in the high side
fitting if the hose

If it's the evaporator, you'll (eventually) see it around the condensate
drains. Regardless, you'll have a good idea of where to look.
I wouldn't be surprised to find a leaky service valve, especially the high side
one.

Yea but once you get that stuff in there it's a pain to get out. Most ac people
won't hook their machines up to it either for fear of contamination. Maybe
somebody else knows better

I gotta find out where it's leaking first. I'm just concerned that it's the
evaporator, which the leak stuff would just be a temporary fix for anyway
