A few years ago my 01 Taco's A/C started to put out warmer air, and from the bubbles in the sight glass I new there was a leak. At that time, I charged it back up (134a w/dye) and couldn't see any leaks using a UV flashlight. I checked several times over a month and never could find a leak so I figured it must be leaking at the evap core where I couldn't get to with the light. Seemed to hold a charge and work well up until last month. Now I see the dye showing up on the low side schrader valve and also around the compressor clutch, front and back.
I figure I better just shotgun the entire system at this time so I ordered the following parts, along with 134a and PAG46 oil.
evap core
expansion valve
dryer
o-ring seal kit
master seal kit for Denso compressor
schrader valves
I've got the evac and recharge covered, have access to a vacuum pump and manifold gauge set. Anything else I'm overlooking here? I couldn't find anything telling me about any special tools needed for any of the lines or the comp clutch so I'm assuming none are needed?. Thanks.
