 |
|
How does one know if/when the reciever/dryer needs replacing. I have my EL booked in for a regass on Friday as over the last two years the A/C is slowly becoming less effective.
Once this is done I can then think about pulling the dash out to replace that bloody air box as the recirc/outside air flap thingamy has busted. |

If you are going to mess around with your air cond evaporator unit, don't get the system gassed first. Chances are you may have to remove it from the car to repair it, and you will lose the gas. |

| My local AC guy tells me they don't change the dryer as routine anymore, for them the customer must ask for it to be changed. I use to change mine every re-gas, about $30 more |
