Now to ..........
Find the leak.
Could add some refrigerant gas and use super suds I would use oil spots as an indication where hoses fasten to components and use the bubbles. If you used it recently and it worked, then the leak is substantial. Bummer Keith |

on the conection.....
there is a needle valve that has to be depressed ( not knowing what you checked the pressure with)
Just to give you a heads up in case you didn't realize that. Keith again |

The gauge I used has a stem that depresses the valve in the connection.
I have FSM for a later model Legacy. It say to run a vacuum pump for several minute to get the water vapor out of the system. There is a procedure for this. What happens if I run the ac system and there is water inside it?

I found this that tells how to fill a Nissan. Happens to be the same R134 capacity as the SVX. http://www.sadik.net/nissan/howto/ac_r134.htm
This has info on the low pressure gauge readings and if the system has been apart http://www.instructables.com/id/SWUERP3FDHGJTGK/ The vacuum test is also a leak test. When the system can't hold vacuum there could be a leak somewhere.

Not water...
Quote:
I would find the leak before pulling a vacuum on the system. If you have a pretty bad leak, ( all the refrigerant is gone), you will pull more moisture into the system by pulling a vacuum. The low side safety should not allow you to get mush moisture in the system because before the system gets low enough for a negative lo side, the compressor clutch will not ingage. ( the purpose of the lo side safety) |

I put in two 12oz cans of R134a last night. So far so good
