Okay,
Long and short of it. No A/C in our Explorer. So I recharged it and it didn't last...Finally loaded the system with leak stop/detector. No action on the system at all.
Went with a 1/2 sized can of R134a with leak stop and U/V detector again... This time? The leak showed up like flippen gang busters. Bottom of the Accumulator looks like it rotted out from the inside. Got some great photos of it draining all that leak detector with my U/V light...
Getting ready to drip....
Wait for it.......
Ewwww...Looks like a huge glow in the dark booger.
Okay, enough of the show and tell. Anyone know off hand how much replacement compressor oil should be added to the replacement accumulator? Considering what it had seems to have been totally blown out.... I'll be ordering in the replacement, it's cheap enough on Rock auto....
Thanks!
