Next up was the EZ Chill Quick Charge System. The kit is similar to the MAC-134 Auto Air Conditioner Measure & Charge in that it is for doing a quick topping off of your A/C system. Here is a short video on it.

QCK-2CS EZ Chill Quick Charge System

Operation is similar to the MAC-134 Auto Air Conditioner Measure & Charge but uses a trigger type handle to dispense the refrigerant into the system. It has the same gauge as the other products for quick low side pressure readings.

Now it stands to reason if you have to add refrigerant to your A/C system, the refrigerant that was in the system leaked out. So how do you find out where the leak is without buying an expensive electronic leak detector? That's where the UVK-1CS R-134a UV Leak Detector and Sealer Kit comes in.

UVK-1CS R-134a UV Leak Detector and Sealer Kit

This kit comes with a can of ultraviolet dye, a can of sealer , UV glasses and a UV light pen. You put the dye into the A/C system, run the system to circulate the dye. Shut the system and engine down and use the UV light pen to check lines and fittings for traces of the dye. A leak will appear as a yellow spot or line. The dye has the advantage of finding multiple leaks if they exist.

According to the kit instructions, once you locate a leak dispense the sealer into the system. Run the system and clean the dye from the area of the leak. If the sealer works, then you will not see the dye reappear from the line or fitting.

The dye can be left in the system since it does not effect system operation and will reveal future leaks. The dye is good for about five uses and the sealer is good for only one system. So if you have more than one vehicle the dye will do them as well but you will need to purchase additional cans of sealer.

I tried the dye on three vehicles with a suspected leak and I did find the leaks in all three systems. I used the sealer on the largest of the three leaks and it did seal the leak, albeit for only about two months. I went to the parts store and bought another can of sealer and used it on the other two leaks and it did seal them.

As with the EZ Gauge both the dye and sealer cans connect directly to the low side fittings. Here, again, it can be difficult or impossible to do this on some vehicles so an extension hose would be a great help.
