Andy, It may not be as expensive as you may think. If the compressor is good, then just change the oil and if will be fine. If you don't find any leaks from the die, then it is most likely in the evaporator. The kit with all you will need is $199.95. Here is the link. http://www.specialtauto.com/delorean-parts/images/evaporator-kit-1.jpg John Hervey -----Original Message----- From: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Soma576@xxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 5:50 PM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [DML] A/C pressure readings - interpretation? Hi, Actually every year they add dye and they can never find any leaks later. It doesn't leave any traces apparently. I plan on rebuilding the entire A/C in a year or two, but I just need to get through the summer. That's why I was wondering where I am sitting, short of replacing everything due to age.

Once the leaks are repaired, then you can worry about pressures and capacities. Fargo, ND 1982 DeLorean DMC12 VIN 11596 ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
