Leak tracing with an electronic leak tracer using refrigerant as a tracing agent

When fault tracing using refrigerant as a tracing agent, we recommend that leak tracer 951 1207 Leakage locator 951 1207 Leakage locator is used.

Preparations

Note! The engine must always be switched off when leak tracing.

An electronic leak tracer can be used if there is still refrigerant in the climate control system.
If the climate control system is empty and a visual or physical test has not identified the leak.

Leak tracing
- Fill the climate control system with 200 grams of refrigerant
- There must not be any strong smells or fumes in the engine compartment. These can affect the leak tracing
- Leak-trace using a leak tracer.

If no leakage is found
- Fill with the remaining amount of refrigerant
- Add fluorescent tracing agent according to Filling with fluorescent tracing agent and refrigerant Filling with Fluorescent Tracing Agent and Refrigerant
- If leakage is suspected, ask the customer to drive the car and then return for new leak tracing / repairs.

If leakage is detected
- Remedy the cause of the leak
- Vacuum pump according to
- Add fluorescent tracing agent with the refrigerant according to Filling with fluorescent tracing agent and refrigerant Filling with Fluorescent Tracing Agent and Refrigerant
- Leak trace according to Leak tracing, fluorescent tracing agent / UV lamp Leak Tracing, Fluorescent Tracing Agent / UV Lamp.

Or:
- Fill with refrigerant according to Filling with refrigerant Filling With Refrigerant
- Leak trace according to Leak tracing with an electronic leak tracer using refrigerant as a tracing agent.
