My auto mechanic at work is having a problem with the A/C in my personal vehicle. After charging my R12 system, he says the gauges indicate a clogged line. The pressure drops on one line and never recovers to the level it is suppose to be at. He suspects too much oil has been added and not completely evacuated during the replacement of the last 2 compressors. He has tried typical evacuation techniques but none seem to help.
He has no internet access so I said that I would ask some questions and try to get him some help. He is looking to flush the lines but can not find any pressurized solvent kits that he believes are available. Can anyone offer some advice or provide information?
