My air conditioning compressor
locked up two years ago. I have finally been able to get a re-built
compressor, clutch, hoses, and receiver/dryer. I need some advice on
flushing out the remaining parts of the system. The instructions on the
new compressor say that the expansion valve and the mufflers should NOT be
flushed with solvent, does this sound correct? I can understand why not
the valve, but I would think the mufflers should be. I see that there are
some special flushing tools, but they are fairly expensive for what will
probably be a one time use for me. Is it good enough to put solvent in and
blow it out with air? Can I do this with the evaporator and condenser in
the car or do they really need to come out to do it right?
I also am thinking of using
AUTOFROST (R-406) instead of 134. Has anyone had experience using 406 in
their Imperials?
Thanks,
John
