So, now that I've got the fuel problem sorted (hopefully), I'm trying to get ready for the other repairs.
The air conditioning doesn't get cold in this car (NL petrol 3.5). In the past I've never bothered with air con when it isn't working, I've just either let it be or pulled it out, but as this car will be driven by the wife a fair bit I would like to get it going while I'm doing all other jobs needed to get it ready for rego.
So the fact it isn't cold would lead me to think that its lost its gas (haven't been able to check if compressor is kicking in yet as its not running). That would mean it has leaked out. Is there any way someone at home can locate the leaks?
Once leaks are repaired, what parts would I want to replace before getting it vacced and gassed up?
Any other hints for working on air con? Like I mentioned, I'm not experienced with A/C in particular
Cheers
