Air con Re build part 1



Ok so I made the move today to start the re-build of my air-con system.

Thanks to Ken Koncelik and his simplified instructions I got the evaporator core out in under an hour. Now just have to wait for the new one to arrive and 'pop' it back in, hope that's as easy.

While I'm waiting I put a few other bits together, Condenser is now hung on the radiator, and connected to the compressor,and also now the pipe work and switches are in place over to the accumulator.

So hopefully it is now just put in the evaporator and accumulator and have it leak tested and gassed.

Please don't shoot me down for this, but I just had to check what was happening with the system so I fired up the car and turned the mode switch to cool and jumped the low pressure switch.

What did I get, well the main pipe that connects to the accumulator and runs back to the compressor was sucking like mad....... and the pipe coming over the accumulator from the condenser was blowing well....... Is this a good sign????

Cheers
Paul
