    The leak checker was leaking 🤣.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars nickoloes says:

    Perhaps the machine should have some sort of internal leak detection. It can detect leak on the car so it might as well.

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars james says:

    With an o ring it might not require a new filter

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars eric kestner says:

    full of descant to keep things non-hydrated.

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chevy Bull says:

    You've already seen that something is wrong with the machine, but just put a rag in there instead of investigating? Ray will fix it? That sucks….

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dan's Learning Curve says:

    Should those calibration ports be covered between uses to avoid getting junk in them?

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ridd333 says:

    A quick reeeee of my own, as I hear the mispronounciation of solenoid all the time. It is a SOLenoid, not a SILenoid or CYLenoid.

    Almost everyone says it incorrectly.

    That is all.

    don't know if you read comments from older videos but would like to know the difference between the umph torque spec &the click torque spec.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Eastman says:

    What is that part number please pwZe2 I can't hear it clearly can you print it up

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Peverley says:

    What kind of camera holding are you using

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Peverley says:

    I am amazed at to how you can do all this with just your one hand

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Evergreen641 says:

    Seems like your oil filter wrench would be a good fit for the receiver/dryer filter too.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Blane Smith says:

    I find it ironic that a machine charged with checking for leaks is itself leaking

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Melanie Branton D.V.M. says:

    your employee is very fortunate to have you.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tonnymiller123 says:

    BAHCO was the inventor and now own snap-on

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fosuya says:

    I liked the video

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Andrew Spence says:

    I still use my grandads BACO adjustable spanners & socket & ratchet sets, I'm 42 & he used them for yrs before I inhereted them,still nice & tight with minimal play I give them a clean each Yr & their good to go for my next job.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Slikx666 says:

    Good to see someone designed a machine that works and is easy to use. 😋👍

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars rolomatic Z says:

    The drier cartridge is filled with silica gel beads. You did a good job there but try to avoid spraying brake Kleen onto the control solenoid wires area because it causes the wire insulation to dry and crack. Don't worry about the cover off whilst plugged in because the entire unit is low voltage components powered by a DC step down voltage. That vacuum compressor oil looked terrible, it was clearly contaminated with moisture.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Masterful says:

    May have
    Not
    May of

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ** says:

    That's a lot of brake cleaner on the electronics & wires… if it's the kind that eats plastic that's not too hot

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Ploeser says:

    I find that the lack of Clean Up comes from Lazy or others Not caring, LET SOMEONE ELSE DO IT mentality!

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Drcthru says:

    What is in your brake cleaner spray? Tetrachloraletheleyne/ carcinogen?

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars latisimusd says:

    Not many walk along the extra mile – Nice job!

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mr. Ekks says:

    Do you also do windows? It seems there is nothing you won't do.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars t lech says:

    Would like the stick a moisture indicator to test how overly moisture saturated the refrigerant that was being put back in the customers car because that filter dryer lost its ability to dry anything long long ago before the due date for replacement.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Duncan says:

    Those machines are expensive.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nigel Cox says:

    Interesting. It is easy to forget that service machines need servicing themselves.
    Perhaps the O-ring was missing last time the filter was changed, easily unnoticed, and has been leaking since. Leaking gas evaporates, leaving the oil to ooze to the bottom and make a puddle.
    Green footprints. There's a thought. Did someone mention halloween?

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ernie Livingston says:

    Makes you think how much oil got into AC systems that you worked on ?

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daniel B. says:

    So serial number stuff is just broken and it doesn't matter because you entered it wrong when you entered the zero twice it entered a . or something like that, that is why you were seemingly missing a digit.

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don Barker says:

    Missing o-ring? Expect the unexpected!

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Christie says:

    Every shop has turds that never do equipment maintenance correctly and/or leave it for the next guy.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Billie Bobbie Norton says:

    YES ! ! You are DA MAN ! ! !
    Thanks!

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lawrence Lamson says:

    U suppose to do the special chime when pulling out Eric O of South main auto special juice aka brake cleaner 😂

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lawrence Lamson says:

    And those machines are Uber expensive!

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Zero the Wanderer says:

    Considering Halloween is coming up, green glowing footprints around the shop would be getting into the Halloween spirit!

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Scott O'Donnell says:

    We had one at my old work. Apparently that gasket is a common problem. We had a service tech come out one time for an actual manifold issue and the first thing he checked was that gasket lol.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MaDoG 1 says:

    Has that filter been changed before?

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MaDoG 1 says:

    I wonder how many cars may have been misdiagnosed because of that leak.

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ralfie says:

    Hmmm, it seems to have an alignment issue. The last guy thought the outer o ring in that filter was causing it, so he took it out!

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joe says:

    Hey, in certain places, that green dye can help you find the goal in the dark!!

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RezaQin says:

    I'm glad Robinair trusts their customers to do basic maintenance.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lars Øyvind Hagland says:

    Is it safe to use brake cleaner on the electronics/connections? (Total layman here)

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Frank Biz says:

    Great catch Ray. Nice clean up also. Should work nice now, please let us know. It's kinda funny the machine that checks for leaks was leaking like crazy.

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars john matos says:

    I work on these robinair units for a living here in arizona and what happens is when that rubber cap come off the new filter itll sometimes be stuck in that cap and people wont even know. Your machine will also suck alot air into that isv white tank and can also lock you out due to high pressure

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anthony Kendrick says:

    Here's the sad thing, that site glass was nasty filthy, there was a leak there, how many of the customers cars were contaminated and improperly filled and contaminated because of that leak and negligence?

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mr Big Van Life says:

    Impressive use of brake clean – sloosh that stuff – love it

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Mays says:

    Doesn't the leak inside that machine suggest that it may have been improperly recovering and filling customer vehicles' systems? If the machine works by measuring the tank weight, and refrigerant was leaking inside the recovery machine, it seems like the math would be wrong.
