Note: Normal gauge readings will depend on system
components and ambient conditions, make sure that the
valves are closed and the readings are stable and that the
system has a full charge.
The pressures on the manifold at 25 ° C with the engine at
1500 RPM, the blower on maximum and the thermostat set
to maximum, should be approximately:
Typically, the high pressure is 6 - 8 times the low pressure.
