Weird side effect of low coolant pressures. Only the entry one side of the evaporator is cool? Who knows?

I bought a professional AC machine off Craigslist for $200 a few years ago. One of the best tool purchases I've ever made. Used it last weekend to change the compressor on my GTO. Thankfully all of my cars still use 134a because YF1234 used on newer cars is stupid expensive.

A little charge goes a long way. I did mine earlier this year too. Middle vent temps in auto drop to 42 degrees! Cold is a good reason not buy a newer model.

Wow! Nice set! I see I'm not the only one that uses blind spot mirrors.

Thanks! Yeah, I’m not a big fan of the stock E53 side mirrors. I feel like a cat trying to focus in on a target, with my head bobbing all over the place. LoL..

One of the first things I did was install some Euro mirrors. The cheap aftermarket ones aren't as good as factory, but they are still way better. And they get rid of the bullshit driver mirror.

The White Witch threw out a 4e21 last night, so today is transmission pan removal and possibly the cheapest repair on a major system ever done to the Witch.....
