Any suggestions for a reliable make? - The first Truemark that was installed was a new compressor (Cost ~C$600.00) and even the local distributor admitted it was poor quality (and replaced it with a rebuilt OE compressor at no cost even although warranty was out).
Checked car today - Opened schrader valve - no hiss - presumably almost no Freon left. Tried to rotate compressor - seemed frozen solid.
Doesn't seem like there is way to test evaporator/condenser for leaks without first replacing compressor?
