Mahle A/C Leak Detector Sealant Starter Kit (#360-81733-00)

A quick R134A/R12 test kit that checks whether a vehicle's A/C system already has aftermarket sealant in it before that sealant reaches your recovery machine, where it can coat internal valves, hoses, and filters. This is a starter kit — test rigs and hardware included once, plus ten test cartridges to begin.

Who This Kit Is Built For

  • ✅ Any shop running A/C recovery/recycling equipment that wants a standard pre-service check to protect that machine from sealant contamination — especially shops that see a mix of used/private-party vehicles where the service history is unknown.
  • ✅ Independent shops taking in vehicles that may have been "fixed" elsewhere with an over-the-counter stop-leak sealant, where a $900 test kit is far cheaper than a fouled recovery machine.

What This Kit Is NOT Built For

  • ❌ A shop that never handles unfamiliar or previously-serviced vehicles (e.g., a dealership doing only new-vehicle warranty A/C work) has lower exposure to this risk and may not need a dedicated sealant test kit.

  • R134A test rig
  • R12 test rig

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I skip sealant testing and sealant gets into my recovery machine?

Sealant residue can coat internal valves, hoses, and filters inside a recovery/recycling machine, degrading performance and potentially requiring a service call or parts replacement that costs far more than a single test.

How many vehicles can I test with the included cartridges?

The kit ships with 10 test cartridges. Replacement cartridges are sold separately — call (844) 480-6059 to order more once you've used the starter set.

Does this kit work on both R134A and R12 systems?

Yes — the kit includes a dedicated test rig for each refrigerant type (R134A and R12).
