*** (*** brother) for the A/C Diagnostic and was quoted the $diagnostic charge, I checked the system and found it was empty ( PSI ) so I ran a vacuum leak test and found it failedThis manufacturer does not put leak detecting dye in the system from the factory I added some
R-134A to look for a leak with a leak detection toolThe only leak I could find was from the suction hose near the service port At this time *** stopped by and asked what I had found so I told him and he said fix it not even asking the total I replaced the hose and then did another vacuum leak test and the system passed so I charged the system and added oil with leak detection dye in it The car returned on the 8th with a a/c low performance complaint, I checked the system and found it was low but not empty so I tried to find a leak with the leak detector and could not find any I used the Dye detection light and glasses and found no evidence of a leakKnowing something had to be going on I evacuated the system and ran another vacuum leak test and it passedI charged the system back up and added ozof strait leak detecting dye and let the system run I checked the car periodically for almost hours and finally found some dye on the condenser the spot was about mm in size We called *** with an Estimate that was for the condenser and labor for the condenser and the additional dye only, the cost for diagnosing the system, r-134a, and evacuate and recharge labor was all under warranty and was at no cost to him *** declined the repair When talking to *** later I never said I assumed the hose was the leak I said I assumed the hose was the only leak because it was the only leak I found
