Re: C5 Covette AC questions
He He ..I will take a knock on that one! I am gonna give the flush process a go in a while and see how we go...On the compressor front maybe the chimpanzee had a brother and he took care of my compressor.
Thanks for the recommendation on a new condenser. I will look at that now..
