I have an almost 20 year old set of Harbor Freight AC gauges. Hoses have seen better days. The other night ago, a friend was saying his AC isn’t as cool as it was. So I hooked up the gauges but I noticed the high side was registering but not the low side. The low side got a reading only when the hand wheel was open - I did connect and purge the yellow charge hose with a can of R-134a I had laying around.
As a test, I hooked up the gauges to an non-hybrid car, as there was some PAG oil in the manifold. Same thing. Time to junk this for a new set? I still need to add some more refrigerant into the car in question. I’ll buy another set from Harbor Fright - I can’t justify going better(Robinair, CPS or Yellow Jacket).
