Hi All,
After charging the system with Freon and oil the a/c worked only a week. It leaks through the dryer Schrader valve and the condenser. I wasn't able to find the Schrader valve core. I guess my only option is to replace the dryer.
I plan to order a new condenser, dryer, orifice tube, and o-rings from FCPGordon. I'm not sure if something else is needed. Also, I don't know if I should order a new compressor. It works fine but the car has 133K and if I leave it as is, how can I make sure I have enough oil in the system? Is it possible to vacuum the system that has only a low side pressure port?
When I get the parts I plan to do the job myself so a word of wisdom is greatly appreciated.
