I was in O'Reilly Auto Parts the other day, they have a kit for $20 that has some refrigerant and some dye along with a set of yellow glasses and a UV pen to put into your system. I have a leak in my newly converted to 134a Dodge Shadow and I plan on getting this to figure out where my leak is.


The gauges in those kits arent usually very acruate. Also the refrigerant that comes with them usually has seal expanders in it and will kill the compressor. Alot of ppl call them "death kits". Plus they only look at the low side, you really need to check both high and low sides. Harbor freight has a set of real gauges on sale right now for $30 http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=92649
