Thumbs up THIS is why to flush your A/C system...

If you have reservations about taking the time to flush your system, I would like you to view these two pictures. This just came out of one of my cars! Anyway, this proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that you need to flush it upon a rebuild.

In the bucket thanks to the HeCat flush system I bought. If you have more than one car to do, buy it.

The HitMan is correct as usual!!
The stuff I have flushed out of the condenser and evaporator is both scary and amazing. If you're serious about your AC work, and with the $$$ spent who shouldn't be, don't skimp on this important step.
HitMan has gotten allot of AC practice over the years......

You showed me the ins and outs early on with my SDL.

That stuff in the bucket is clean compared to what came out of my 300SD.
