TDD


Even if you end up taking the car to a shop, the dye can avoid a shop
recharge with dye. Saves you money. Some shops don't use sniffers.
My last fix on my Lumina we used 2 4' UV tubes in a shop-light fixture
to finally find the condenser leak after moving a radiator cowl aside.
Sure beats a UV penlight.
