    The front of the box says "Made In Chian"... Their translator couldn't even get their own country spelled right, how much faith do you have in this tool's accuracy?

  • @XqeDiosxqe

    Dont think that tool is accurate at all....

    i never thought of it though, i like the idea. visually with the condition of the oil based on the color id say its accurate, and if its dry as a bone you know you are lacking oil. cotton ball here we go!

    thats rediculous. theres a world of a difference pressing it 3 times vs only 2. if you do the math percentage wise how can you ensure a proper testing method? and whats the duration of the amount of time the valve gets pressed?

    That's great you wanted to make a video of this item, but you don't have a link or any info on how to buy it. I searched and didn't come up with anything

    where do you get the autool?

  • @Z71Garage

    From the directions alone I wouldn't have too much faith in that tool, wait for the low side to get warm? The only way you would do that is when it short cycled maybe. If I was that worried about it I would just flush the system but new o rings, receiver/drier, orifice tube and valve cores in it then recharge it with the proper refrigerant and add the correct amount of oil in the system.

    Thanks again Richpin, have enjoyed your videos for years. Helped a lot as each of my older 4-kids had the Saturn S series ( and my wife and myself). Spent many hours wrenching with you guiding me; much appreciated sir! Hats off to you 👍🏻

    probably easier to get a new compressor that has the 3oz oil already added

    Richpin, you're the man. Thanks for all you've done over the years. I have a Saturn SL1 with over 320k on it and your videos helped me get there.

    That’s an interesting tool Richpin! The question is how accurate is it? I will be looking forward to your next video.😀

    Hi Richpin ... I apologize for using this video to ask an unrelated question but it is your newest and I'm hoping you will be able to give me your expertise. I have a 2002 Saturn SC1 coupe and on the weekend someone tried to steal it. They destroyed the ignition cylinder and I had to break the rest of it out with screwdriver and hammer just to unlock the steering wheel. The RKE has stopped working some time ago so only using key to open doors. I am able to turn over the engine with a screwdriver in the ignition chamber but the car will not start. I assume the passlock security is enabled and the fuel injectors are disabled. The security light comes on but not blinking. I have tried the relearn trick (off to ACC for 10 minutes then off for 10 seconds and repeat 3 times), so many times and it has proven to be useless. The would-be thieves opened the door by prying it back and using a wire to unlock it from the inside. The door chimes ring when I open the door even with no key and in the off position. When I use the lock button when exiting, the locks close and then open again immediately. I have to physically close the locks by hand individually. I have been reading and watching for solutions on youtube and SaturnFans to no avail. Is there any hope to fix this mess myself. Currently all of my expertise comes from your videos :) Please help if you can.

    When compressor is working the low pipe should be cold, high side hot. The directions on the package must have it backwards.

    The question i would ask is "is it a one use tool?"

    Hi richpin. I was wondering if you've ever done a video on error code p0442 small evap leak. In my case I've changed the purge valve, soon to try changing the vent solenoid. Does anyone have any advice for me? Please help

    What's the tool called? I can't buy one when I don't know what it's called!
