1 Start vehicle engine and switch on air conditioning system.

2 Check entire air conditioning circuit using leak detector probe (1).

Remain for some time in areas where leaks are suspected.

Since refrigerant is heavier than air and sinks, always guide leak detector probe (1) underneath the locations where leaks are suspected.

Line connections, screwed pipe connections, condensers and evaporators are the most frequent cause of refrigerant leaks.
