A/C leaking
I just got through installing a new a/c compressor, accumulator, and expansion tube. I flushed the system several times and am now testing to see if there are any leaks. I have hooked up a vacuum machine to the system and reading -28 inches after about 20 mins. I shut the system down and wait another 20 mins. the vacuum reading is down to -20 inches and eventually goes down to O. Have installed new O rings and gaskets and checked my equipment for leaks. Does anyone have experience in finding leaks under such conditions?

Well, there is a special fluid that you can put into the system together with the coolant. You then run the system for a while and then look at all the components with a black-light. There where the leak is, this fluid will light up...

Which type of freon does a 2001 coupe take?
Are there instructions for filling and pressurizing once the leak is fixed?
