Mileage117,211Service Date8/26/2026Services Performed- Communication/Notes:
- Performed an Evac & Recharge. Recovered only 51g (grams) out of 590g total. Performed vacuum test and let the system sit under a vacuum for 30 minutes to see if there is a leak. During that time, inspected the A/C compressor, condensor, and lines with a blue UV light to see if any dye had leaked out. Did not find any, even underneath the dash board. Vacuum held for 30 minutes. Recharged system to 590g and A/C blows cold. There is also no smell of refrigerant in the cabin while the A/C is blowing which would indicate a leaking evap core. Pulled vehicle back into the shop and performed another Evac & Recharge after letting the vehicle sit throughout the day. Recovered 503g out of 590g. Performed another vacuum test and let vehicle sit overnight while under a full vacuum to see if there is a leak. 8/26/26- Vehicle did not loose any vacuum sitting overnight, indicating that there is no leak in the system.
