Re: 53 Packard Patrician factory AC

Not offended. I limit images per post because people like to post 40 images without making them a reasonable size. 38 of the images don't even pertain to the information needed.

Re: wont hold vacum but will hold pressure

How do you know it is holding pressure? My interpretation is that since there was R134a in the system (6.57 pounds ) that he ASSUMES that it's holding pressure. I would think a big leak would even be able to be heard and would not hold 6.57 pounds for long. So I suggested for him to do a vacuum tes...

These machines are not as complicated as some like to make out. They recover and filter refrigerant and recharge via storage container....
