After rebuilding all the aircon hoses, replacing all the o-rings, installing a new drier and expansion valve, the system would not hold vacuum.

I could hear a leak at the bottom of the drier where it connects to the condensor.

The aluminum threads and sealing points weren't in great condition. But when I pulled it out to take a look, the hose on the condensor had a small crack that quickly crumbled into a big hole.



Looks like it is time for a new condensor.

I keep telling my wife, "honey, there's nothing left to buy.". She's too smart to believe me.

That would be very easy to braze shut.

The aluminum is so brittle, the pipe pretty much just fell off. Found a brand new condensor on ebay and snagged it for a couple hundred bucks. Not going to say what my high bid was.
