Hi all. So, a couple weeks ago I blew an ac hose (from compressor to front of car in front of radiator). For some reason, there was no heat shield and it was 1/2 inch from the exhaust manifold. I replaced the hose, bought a manifold gauge set, and refilled the system with PAG oil and r134a (system was professionally converted a few years ago).
The problem is I don't know what the proper pressure is. I've tried anywhere from 30-45 on the low side (300-250 on high side). It blows kinda cold, but not what I need it to. I mean it's 90 degrees today with no end in sight. :firehop:
Does someone who has converted to r134a and who has cold ac and a manifold gauge tell me what their pressures are and the ambient temperature. I can't find any kind of specific standard for e30s. If early/late e30s have different systems, I have a 1984 325e.
Thanks
Tony
