Agreed - but (we've had this conversation befur) a tin of top up is $8. A fault find and fix is $800. The tin says if it's not the condenser or evaporator, it's most likely a seal in a pipe somewhere - and this stuff searches them out and blocks the hole. No. I don't believe it either - but no choice.
Changed (swapped out) the broken back-up camera fur a spare one I had.
Success (so far).
All the stuff that was meant to be there got out somehow.
