Subject: A/C resuscitation - where to start?
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed
Record temps in Upstate New York today!
And i need to attempt to resurrect my Westy A/C this summer. I had 2 near
accidents last summer from dozing off at the wheel of a 90 degree van. The
system has been empty for 2 years and I hope it is rescuable. So aside from
a new dryer and an small R-134 conversion kit from Bus Depot - i am
wondering where to start. I am thinking there is a logic to taking the van
to a AC shop and just have them attempt to charge it up with alot of leak
detector and r134 hose seal oil and just to see how bad the system is. From
there make a determination what would be involved. has anyone had any
experience bring back the A/C? i do not mind the idea of doing multiple
rounds with a AC shop if i know what to tell them to do first. I am looking
at the archives regarding condenser retrofits right now.
Thanks for the time
