@belldandysama3381 10 месяцев назад

Thank you sir. You are the only one who can explain thoroughly, and not afraid to😊. So many are so secretive.

@TutorialGenius 10 месяцев назад

So nice of you! I'm glad it was useful! :)

@bludy22 21 день назад

Thank you so much for a very comprehensive and easy to follow video tutorial. I have some mechanical background but not familiar with hvac. Your video answered every question I had. Thank You Mate!!!

@TutorialGenius 20 дней назад

Great to hear! I'm glad it was useful! :)

@saulruvalcaba8803 2 года назад

Great video, I'm new to this so the detail you go Into is appreciated

@pokefan5022 Год назад

This helps a lot. Thank you. One little O-ring can cause the leak. Sadly, most O-rings will require you to evac the system :(. A 25 cent part costs about $50 in refrigerant. And that is only if you have the tools. Evac systems cost $300+, Vacuum pump with manifold gauge costs $130+, Tank for evac is about $80, and lets not forget your labor cost lol. Doing it for the first time is costly, after that, it is a lot cheaper.

@TutorialGenius Год назад

You're welcome! I mean, I wouldn't personally bother with the Evac systems/tank, just pay a garage to do that for you (Assuming casual DIY job) The manifold gauges and pump are a good investment, $100 for both.

@2:45 Thank you very much for the information about Refrigerant Leak Detector. They sell it in Harbor Freight for 69.99 (PITTSBURGH AUTOMOTIVE Electronic Refrigerant Leak Detector). Many positive comments about that device. I've never heard of such, thank you.

Did you pump down your gauges???

@TheEugenebarwise 3 месяца назад

Hey thanks for video can i ask where do i get that fittings on your manifold gauges where you connect the red and blue cpuplers on i want those what is it called and where do i get them

@TutorialGenius 3 месяца назад

Everything comes as one unit! You can see here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rN4FmSdzgxw.html

@ThamMalaysia 11 месяцев назад

The dye - can it clog anything, like the expansion valve ? The yellow glasses - does it protect the eyes from UV ?

@TutorialGenius 11 месяцев назад

I already talked about the glasses in the video. No, the dye doesn't clog anything.

@haydnmccormick2327 2 месяца назад

If you have an evaporator leak can you check condensate water under drain pipe under car while running car with ac on to see dye in this.

@TutorialGenius 2 месяца назад

If that's where the leak is

@WilliamVG Год назад

Will that same dye be compatible with older R22. I have a home AC I like to check.

@TutorialGenius Год назад

Yes it does. See here: amzn.to/3XJRjfA

@urielvillagran1028 Год назад

Could ya purge it first; Then add the dye ?

@TutorialGenius Год назад

What are you are purging? air? contaminants? You can add it when you charge the system if you vacuumed it.

@qegvW3H 11 месяцев назад

can uv dye use to find engine oil leak?

@TutorialGenius 11 месяцев назад

Yes you can!! and fuel leaks too! Make sure the dye is especially for oil and fuel. But its the same principle, yes!

@juniorundersea Год назад

do you purge the blue line ?

@TutorialGenius Год назад

Everything gets purged! :)

@Swenser 11 месяцев назад

From what i saw, there was the air in the blue that was fed back to compressor. It wasnt purged during this video instructions. No wait. The blue hose was in vacuum. Right right right

@crabapple6775 11 месяцев назад

is this the same s the dye used to find oil leaks ?

@TutorialGenius 11 месяцев назад

Same, no! Similar? yes!

@joesalorio4140 2 месяца назад

Yes, you can use it to find AC, Oil and Coolant Leaks!

@UFGator1972 11 месяцев назад

Long-winded video with good information.

@robertcarson2228 22 дня назад

I just wanted to know how to add dye and make decisions on dye results, I.e., tighten parts, replace hoses, get a new compressor, etc. Far too wordy explaining ancillary junk.

@TutorialGenius 21 день назад

and this is why you're still in this situation. Sometimes people need words :)
