reciever-dryer

thank again, Basic thought was sense basic A/C concerns have been cleared up with the evap. temp. sensor replace, I'ed get ready for an A/C hi and lo pressure check later, when it warms up, but before things get sweltering hot. It's difficult to get a feel at the current temperatures.
no. 7 of the A/C diagnosis procedure "refrigeration pressure" has been from
01 to 16 depending on outside temp. I was of an opinion that the low side would be at least 40.
Just looking to be prepared. The final diagnosis didn't give any recommendations.

Hose

part number on autohausaz.com link with the rec drier"(see note)always a good idea to replace the hose to avoid contamination of the system.and they might have changed the fittings on the new driers.
Have a pro charge the system.
#7 in a good system will vary on demand from about 7-18 or so,it is a variable by demand system so you can see it go up or down in value according to current demand.
good luck

the hose

I see it, their recommendation, is that hi side with fittings or low side with clamps? No question pro. job!! about AC oil, any need to be selective? exotic, generic-synthetic?
