AC Test Gauges.

(1/4) > >>

Vettech:
Looking at buying a set of Compound Refrigeration Gauges, did have some and/or access to some over the years, but now want to own some, once the best were  Imperial Eastman, but were expensive. Now on ebay there are a heap, probably only need gauges rated/set for 134a, but needs a case. Has any one bought some of these or used these brands eg "Giantz". Since I use vaccum not nitrogen to dry etc the LP gauge needs to have a reasonable neg vac section. Yes I'm pedantic. Any thoughts are welcome. Doug.

Thanks members 4 all v replies, either its a secret or we have no Air Con technicians in our ranks. Anyway bought on ebay from VicOffRoad, naturally in Vict, ordered on Sunday nite, arrived midday Wednesday. Red carry case, (but not Giantz), set for R134a only, gauges are clear easy to read, with a good "- inches of mercury"  vac section, considering it was 15% less than the original $86 on ebay, inc post, they are great value. Now to get some gas and start plumbing up the C4, since there is no flow thru ventilation in the C4, I need to get the AC going. Doug.

I will be investigating the gas, I'll know soon. By the way there was flow thru air when new but then butchered by the convertors, it is easier to glass it up. It appears it's easier to flip over the existing AC box and re-use it. Anyway I know the 79~82ish Commodore SLE had flooded system (accumulator), air box/matrix on LH side, looking very similar to the US GM matix/airbox.     NOW, bob that is very touchy ground you are on, "SHE" came home, with the "sh#ts", does not normally swear, but went right off when I asked "where is the BRAND NEW MUSTANG". Ford thought the issue was a cct board behind the centre console, they took one out of a new demo car, fitted - all worked - then it didnt, now Ford thinks its somewhere else - "a module" Then they made the mistake of saying it was a Very very expensive module. She snapped, words like its f#@ing brand new, it has only 300kms on the f#/%%ing speedo, its only a f@/%ing week old, its under F@/%ing warranty. So for this weekend ill just creep around softly and quietly. Ànd I wont be mentioning anything about convertable roofs or cars.
