Coolzone Elke R134a Economy UV Dye – 1 Litre (42-0000B)

Description

Genuine Coolzone · Part no. 42-0000B

This Coolzone Elke economy UV dye comes in a 1 litre bottle for tracing refrigerant leaks in R134a car air conditioning. A measured dose goes into the system, mixes with the compressor oil and leaves a bright fluorescent mark under a UV lamp wherever gas escapes, so the leak can be pinned down before the system is recharged.

Good to know

• How much goes into one car? The maker works on 7.5ml of dye for every 1.5kg of refrigerant, so check the gas charge on the air conditioning label under the bonnet first.
• Will it mix with the oil already in the system? It is made to work with PAG, ester and mineral compressor oils, so the type of oil already in the car does not rule it out.
• How do I spot the leak? The dye travels round the system with the oil and glows at the leak under a UV lamp, so run the air conditioning for a while before checking pipes, joints and the condenser.
• Who should add it? Dye goes in through the low side service port with a dye injector or the service machine, and in the UK work on the refrigerant side needs an F-gas qualified technician.

Which one?

For oil and dye in a single fill, see the Elke R134a Pag46 Oil with dye – 1 Litre (41-1020B); once a very slow leak is confirmed, the Elke R134a Leak Stop Treatment (41-0002A) is made to seal it.
