carlmhtt Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I need to remove my front aircon radiator so apparently need to evacuate refrigerant from the system. Which is the easiest way to do this and do I need special tools? Cheers Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham S Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 You need to take it to someone dude, it's illegal to do it if your not qualified and registered to do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlmhtt Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 I had a feeling this might be the case. Unfortunately my car is in the garage without an engine so it's going nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham S Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Then being as I'm a qualified air con person then I can't comment on what you do next but you don't need any special tools to get it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham S Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 There are mobile people that can do it. If you care for the environment then you could call one out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not also poisonous in large amounts such as in the confines of a garage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 You take the cap off the Schraedar valve and depress the pip. I would do it outside. Or just slowly crack a union. We have had a lovely September and October thanks to greenhouse gasses, go for it with a clear conscience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lude Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 just vent to atmoss if you care for the enviroment that much jsut dont use the car once, go for a walk so you feel like youve balanced things out jsut press the valve in and it squirts out like a deoderant can (dont breathe it in tho) when you come to remove the front ran there will probably be some left in there so be alert when it makes a loud noise as you seperate tthe hard pipes which go to the aircon rad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
