Re: [MBZ] S550 AC redo

Flushing is tricky. Gasoline is cheap, but then you have to get all that out too, and there's often a bit of residue. Solvent afterwards? The real problem is the expansion valve. You can't really flush with that in there, as it's easily clogged. It's a giant PITA, that's for sure! -- Jim
