thanks , good point. I was thinking that G65 just interrupts the compressor operation when the pressure exceeds a certain value. Is G65 dynamic where it works across the pressures or does it just act as a switch?

I just hooked gauges up to the system and get a reading of 38 psi on both gauges showing it is equalized. Note - It was about 56F outside. According to the F R134a blue scale on the gauge 38 psi corresponds to about 44 F. When I made this measurement it was about 56 outside. The compressor...

thanks for al the replies this is where I heard about it

Hello We have a 2022 Subaru Impreza that we got new and it now has 48k miles and the front brake pads need replacing. Looking for recommendations on what types of pads to get and or avoid. The vehicle is a daily driver that sees a 50/50 split between freeway and local street driving. I...
