a/c flush question Hi,
I'm having the a/c fixed in my 2001 WS6 TA. I bought the compressor and the kit. The question has arisen as to whether its best to flush the system with the machine, or "by hand" using the "a/c pro power clean and flush". I bought a couple of cans of the a/c pro power clean and flush". Then someone said it should be dried with nitrogen? How important is that, if at all?
Anyhow, any opinions on whether the machine or the "pro power" clean and flush is better?
Thanks,

I realize this post is a month old but here's my take on it. You can flush with the pro stuff or pure kerosene (low ordor, no residue stuff) as long as you pull a vacuum on the system for one hour or even two. The key is to get it all out.
Nitrogen Is used for pressure testing and leak detection. Thr most important things are cleanleness and zero oxygen and moisture. Setup your gauges snd freon tank so you oull a vacuum on all the lines before chargung and you're golden

How did your AC system die? Did the compressor grenade itself to pieces internally? If yes, its very difficult to get those chunks out without taking all lines, accumulator, evaporator and condenser apart for cleaning. Probably needs a new expansion valve, too.
