Maybe he needs the money for the new car payments/full coverage insurance 😜

At only 3 years, isn't that cap under warranty?

4) Cap is missing
5) No warranty at 245,000 miles

No, they come in 5-packs of the same size or in a set of 5 different packs for $23 and it might be years before I need a second one. Decisions decisions.

Next I put the gauge on the hose where it would meet the charge port. Got down to 360 microns in 5 minutes and after 15 minutes it was still the same.

Re: Can I drive on the highway without a condenser fan?

Don't think this can be repaired. I should have a spare off a parts car.
