Default A black light:Funky!

I had to buy a black light to shine on my A/C system after putting UV leak detector in it. The leak is driving me nuts. I've retrofitted to r134. The system blows cold and has proper pressures when charged. I thought I had it fixed when I replaced the high/low side hose assembly as it was oil stained where the previous owner had hose clamped it. I know I'll be chasing leaks until they are all fixed, just the nature of the beast.

I wonder if a disco ball would help! :party:

Did you replace your AC hoses?In European cars they recommend that you change all the hoses when going with R134.The gas will leak throu the rubber on the old hoses.
Thats what i`ve been told anyway :cheers: :cheers:

Yup! The low and high side assembly. The rest are pipes. Whatever is leaking is going to look cool under that black light. :cool: Hope it's not too hard to get at. :smash:
