Auto Air Conditioning & Heater Repair: 02 volvo v70 condenser leak, volvo v70, days thanks


Question
hey, I have a 02 volvo v70, have been adding R134a to keep it cooling.  Found a leak at condenser which I will replace.  Any tips for replacement, evac & recharge?  I haven't worked on an auto a/c system since the R12 days.  Thanks!

Answer
You should replace the accumulator also, same process as using r12 the only difference is products- different oil - called pag & r134.Locate your a/c fluid amounts first.I take it you got equiptment, as you said you done it before. If not,R134 has it`s own gauges and fittings.

good luck,davidt
