I think Ford has put dye in most of their cars since the early 90's? How good is the dye that Ford puts in their vehicles at the factory? Is it not common practice for the OEMs to put dye in the vehicles on the assembly line, or is the dye removed by age 10 or so from several system evacuations and recharges with new "freon" "washing out" the factory dye? Thanks
@@coldfinger459sub0 www.motor.com/magazinepdfs/062005_08.pdf found this, not sure how accurate it is Tracer’s dye wafer applications include: •All Jaguar models manufactured since 6/97. •All Nissan models since 6/99. •All Volvo models since 5/00. •Mazda Tributes since 5/01. For those readers who work on both import and domestic vehicles, these applications also have dye wafers: •All U.S.-made Ford models since 8/94. •All U.S.-made Saturn models since 5/99. •All U.S.-made GM models since 5/00. •Jeep Cherokees/Wranglers since 7/98.
How do you clean/remove ac dye to find new leaks, so after you replace a part you can check to see if it is leaking verses the old leak? Also to help remove the ac dye splatter on parts?
Lol 😂 🤣. A lot of soap and water because POE oil and PAG oil are somewhat dissolve in bond with water with a little soap or degreaser Carburetor cleaner or brake clean does a good job not healthy to breathe and you definitely don’t wanna get it on the paint job or headlights or anywhere around stuff like that. And then you just keep hitting it multiple times with like brake clean because it’s really really difficult to get out of tiny little joints it likes to show up again and it’s hard to tell is it the old stuff or is it new stuff
What die do u use. I'm looking for a leak on my car. And want to buy something that works. And can you list some the dirrent lights you recommend us to buy.
UV beast 365 is a excellent starting light. Another one is the OPTi pro max UV plus light smaller handheld Tracer line UV dye by tracer products. @tracerline.com
