Gooday, i saw your website and went through it and must confess that its very helpful. Please i have a problem regarding my car A/c, a Bmw 5251989 model. the Ac was no longer cooling so i went to a mechanic and filled the gas up. it again started cooling , but to my suprise 4 days later, it stopped coolin and blew hot air. I went to the mechanic and was told that he suspect that this is a leakage but he would first dismantle one or two things to rectify the fault. but i told he to wait till am ready as i no longer have trust becos this fault was not up before. please what can u suggest regarding this

.

God Bless,

Richy

Hi there,

A leak test is a simple job, a small charge of refrigerant with a dye is added to the system, the dye will stain where it is leaking, often it is just an O ring at a pipe joint, have this test done first,
