Hi,

I have an Evo 8 Mr

I have just done a full AC install as it had been deleted.

I managed to get a decent set if used pipework, along with a new condenser (dryer attached etc) and new aftermarket compressor.

I have filled the system with 510g (18oz) of r134a, and the air con seems to be working however is not quite cool enough.

As such I used a manifold gauge to measure the pressures which are no way near where they need to be.

The low side was was sat around 30 and dropped to almost 0 when the compressor kicks in.

The high side was sat around 50 and went up to about 60 when compressor kicked in.

Although i weighed the refrigerant I thought it may still be low based on pressures. I added some more.

This helped a little, but the pressures are still low.

LP - 35 compressor off, 12.5 compressor on.

HP. - 50 compressor off, 65 compressor on.

For info the ambient temp was 10-12 degrees C

AC temp at vent only went down to about 8 degrees.

I added UV dye when i filled the system and cannot see any leaks anywhere.

I would grateful of any help.
