Detecting leaks on the refrigerant circuit with the leak detector -VAG1796-
Minor leaks can be detected for example with an electronic leak detector or with an UV lamp.
  Note
t  Refrigerant gas quickly floats away with the movement of the air. Therefore avoid any draught during leak detection.
t  If the refrigerant circuit is absolutely empty, fill in approx. 100 grams of refrigerant.
Leak detection:
–  Operate the leak detector according to the relevant operating instructions.
–  Always hold the test prod below the suspected leakage.
   
If the knocking noises increase or a whining tone occurs as a result of the design, the leak point has been found (see operating instructions belonging to the leak detector).
