Alex,

Thanks for that info. We need helpful guys like you in the club here in Sydney. I hope you do eventually decide to join and that the thought of members hungry for advice and information does not scare you away! Knowledgeable members are highly respected in the club. Many even come to me (as a reasonably capable DIYer) for advice on the models I am familiar with, despite the fact that I am not an automotive tech. If possible I would prefer to stay with R12 for now. Hopefully with dye we can find the leak and that it will only be something simple. If it gets more serious then I may consider an R134a retrofit.


Jim,

The system is not empty. It seems to leak down enough not to cool but not much more than this. Last time I had it re-gassed it still had some pressure remaining in the system.

Thanks,
Greg
