Blocked drier, common problem with 134 and 404, replace it.

Cheers mate to pointing me in right direction it would be hard to change cappilary tube (will need to remove evaporator) so i will change drier and give it a good vac on tuesday and hopefully think will run again as it schould.Thanks for help.

dont just cut the capillary line
use snips to score an outer line- similarly to stripping cable then use long nose pliers to to wiggle it then the capillary line will crack where youve scored-then braze this to ur drier first so to ensure u dont block the end. also as another tip= unsweat the 1/4 line on the pot and stick a charging stubb on it

Can score the end with a hacksaw if the snips are crap... And if in doubt cut the drier open and look... I have purged OFN through to check a cap line before!
