I have the grayish sludge from adding 134a to a system literally filled with water, like the evaporator was full of water. Can I just spray air into the low side and blow the sludge out the hi side. I know the proper way is to take it apart and blah blah blah.... but can it be done this way. Or is there another half ass way to do it.

I just wan't to experiment a little before taking it apart.

Seems like it would work

You need to take it apart, blow the crud out with compressed air followed by a good flushing with a cleaner intended for use in A/C systems.

If the evaporator has that much crud in it, the A/C system is probably ruined.

Why did the a/c have water in it?

If so, it would be much easier for poeple to follow and provide help if you would stick with one thread.

Same truck different problems. But thanks for the ethical lesson.
