Finally got around to evacuating and charging the air conditioner post condenser replacement
It went like this:
1 pulled a vacuum of 29in for 30 min. let the car sit for one day result =no vacuum loss ��
2 Reconnect vacuum pump and run for another 45 min to draw out all the moisture and junk.
3. before filling added a dab of UV die into the suction line in case a leak shows up later.
4 With car running and AC full blast. filled w 2.5 cans of 134a from home depot. they where about 4 bucks a can. 12 oz each.
newtis says 29.98 oz of refrigerant on the F10 diesel
5. checked w a small scale as well as air temp coming out of middle dash vents. 33.4 degrees was the lowest (was 35 degrees outside)
blue low side gauge read 30 in and the red high side read about 150 which is low but it was too cold today to get a good reading.
