Re: A/C not cool enough, low charge / air in system?

Yep, I still got the plastic caps for the service ports, and I keep them on I just took them off for a few mins and put the sniffer really close to check that the sniffer was working (A very, very small amount of refrigerant near the schrader valves, but from what I've read that is normal) Alright s...

Re: A/C not cool enough, low charge / air in system?

So an update on this I've put UV dye through the system, ran the a/c for 3 days.
