It is a bit difficult to do a performance test when the Ambient temperature is near zero ... you could put it on and go under the bonnet and feel the two Alloy AC pipes the small one should be warm and the large one noticeably cold like ice .
Thanks. It's getting cold outside now but I'll have a feel of those pipes the next free lunchtime I get later this week.

I guess that the system pressure reading can be accessed with suitable diagnostics? What's a typical minimum value?
