  1. Can I ask a silly question why don't you put new Schrader valves in first they're cheap I have the same thing in my bicycle tires I understand the labor but that's between you guys the customer and the service reps and I'm not telling you how to do your job I'm just curious why

  2. Statistically 90% of all leaks in car A/C systems worldwide are link to the evaporator core, and that is because of fungus build up due to the humidity that eats the aluminum and causes the small leaks! I have never seen you exchange a single evaporator core in all your A/C videos, the cause is always the schrader valve!

  3. I don't understand your logic with the schrader valve leak, if it has a leak the plastic cap on the port will not allow the refrigerant to leak out!

  4. Do you know how important it is to have your dash gauges free of fingerprints and smudges.. Why when you point to the gauges you press your fingers against the glass/plastic lens. UGH

  5. If you get another hyundai (preferably elantra,2013) can you show what it looks like on blowby?! I’m worried mine is bad but my compression measured to 130+psi?!

  6. Good video, I personally don't click the like button on most videos because I don't want to add to my lists. I've probably watched 75% of your content and I keep coming back. The random AvE references are fun little easter eggs, and your willingness to do what's right by your customers, and share your knowledge with the world make you one of the best examples of humanity in my opinion. Keep up the great work, and as always, don't forget to have a great day!

  7. Ray love watching 2 years ago I had a A/C issue and I ask if he replaced those Valves he said yes I did but they wanted to replace the whole A/C knock on wood my A/C has been working fine

  8. Another great video! Would like to mention some info on hybrids that viewers may need to know, hybrid vehicles use different a/c oil which can be seen on the underhood sticker as POE which is a non conductive oil. This oil should not be mixed with normal PAG oil when recovery or recharging. Finding leaks on hybrids should require tools like a freon "sniffer", and installing the correct oil without dye or contamination is crucial. Keep up the good work and educate people about proper auto car care.

  9. Hey this is like our daily life in residential air conditioning. Not uncommon to go to multiple houses with newer Trane systems that aren't working, but that's just cuz they're a bunch of shit. I bet all of those Hyundai hybrids have the same problem during that period of production that's usually how it goes. Very interesting to see the difference between a/c being worked on in a car vs residential

  10. Just a heads up. Electric hybrid compressors use special oil and mixing normal PAG oil can short them out, Some other things I've noticed are that you should replace the receiver drier when replacing a compressor as compressor manufacturers won't warrant them without doing this. With sub-cooled systems replace the desiccant bag in the condenser. When retrofitting an R12 system with 134A you should replace the drier and add enough PAG oil for the whole system. The old oil is not compatible with 134A and does not get taken around the system. Personally I would spend longer looking for a leak as you don't want a come back in a week with the customer complaining you didn't fix it. Schrader valves can appear to leak just after removing the hoses as there can be refrigerant sitting on top of the valve slowly boiling off. You should invest in a good gas detector for leak checking. We actually pressure the system with Nitrogen and Hydrogen trace gas then check with a Hydrogen detector. You can find a mouse fart size leak with it. Just some things to think about and consider so you don't get bitten.

  11. Please don't be wearing your ring at work! I can't help but believe that you do know better. We never wear rings, watches, bracelets, or anything around the neck.

  12. Another great video Ray, thank you for sharing what you do, with us. I really like the way you explain what it is you are doing and how you go through diagnosing the problem then coming up with a solution. I guess it is all part of the job you are trained for but I think it is pretty cool. If I am ever in your neck of the woods (highly unlikely since I am in Australia) and my car plays up, I know where I'll be taking my next pit stop. 😉

  13. The problem is it’s a Hyundai. As a previous owner of a Hyundai Sonata, my money pit went to junk yard. Hyundai makes poor quality cars that become money pits. Many recalls on the engines of both Hyundai and Kias. Don’t buy Hyundai or Kia.
