5KTQ A/C Question

[Stacy Anable]

I took an A/C class a couple of weeks ago and one of out projects was to 
change the front seal on a nippendeso similar to the ones audi uses, and its 
a pretty straight forward change out that any shop should be able to do. the 
dye test is pretty cool, has anyone ever seen it done? in the class we did 
it to my parents subaru (i know i know....) and that 190watt xenon black 
light its pretty crazy....
