once was told it was a mild form of mustard gas & can become explosive :shock: , not sure how true that is,

Jake:
Now removed  :wink:
There was no gas in the system so i go on and got rid of it.
My cooling rad and intercooler were *slightly* clogged with mud.
I can clean them now.

--- Quote from: "RedlineMike" ---if you remove the air con rad thus leaving the system open its as good as scrap,the moisture in the air knackers the condenser/dryer (£000's)

& also if theres no gas theres no lubrication for the pump so it can seize up aswell

the compressor contains its own oil anyway so if theres no gas it makes no difference, also if theres no gas the binary switch wont be activated so the clutch wont engage and drive the pump anyway

i was lead to belive that it was only the early aircon pumps on the rangies that had there own sump for lubrication,all others in recent times were lubed by the oil in the gas

beast5680:
the gas doesnt contain any oil you have to add PAG oil to the system, most or all compressors contain the bulk of the oil with some distributed around the system
