Thanks so much for the helpful video! I haven't had to add refrigerant to any vehicle since the late 80s. Back then I was driving a Lincoln Town Car doing limo service out of the airports in Chicago. The owner of the car told me to buy the refrigerant, told me where to hook it up, and then told me to add the product till my Bs freeze up. I guess they were less scientific back then.

AC broke on my 2015 Sienna. I wondered if it’s the relay or fuse but I went to Mechanic, he checked refrigerant and there was none left in the system. He filled in some everything come out, hey we have a leak in the pipe leading to the passenger blowers in the back rows. So they blocked the back row cooling and refilled the refrigerant. So, it all works now but we get cool air just in the front, cost me nearly $400. (Replacing the whole pipe maybe cost me$1500) but that’s the trade off

I would just keep topping off during every couple weeks when it starts getting a lil warm. Do that during the hottest part of summer to get you by. Can put in leak dye to try and pinpoint leak, may be somewhere easy to fix. But if it's at the compressor and it's in hard location that'll cost a bit in labor for a shop. I'm not familiar in compressor placement on that vehicle

JonnDIY just saved you over $150 bucks! A professional AC recharge cost ranges from $150 - $300 on average depending on the make and model of your vehicle. Due to refrigerant losses that occur over time, this service is one that should be added to your vehicle maintenance schedule. It is recommended that this service be performed on a vehicle every 100,000 miles or so.

If you check the sticker on underside of hood it'll tell you the max refrigerant if system was completely empty. I usually like to vacuum system first if I know it was empty. If it's cool enough, I'd wait and see how long it lasts. Then you'll know if its a really bad leak or not. If it holds a long time, I would probably vacuum system out next time you refill 👍

Don't do this. Here's why: 1. You don't know all the pressures. 2. These kits don't have all the gauges 3. These kits contain moisture which destroys components with corrosion 4. When this forces you to replace expensive parts, you won't be happy. You won't be "saving money."

Yes it's best practice to vacuum system first, then recharge. I have several videos showing that process. But I've had no problems in the decades doing it this way either. As always your mileage may vary for anything

@@JonnyDIY So how do you know how much weight is required or installed? I didn't see any info on that. Or how much pressure is in the system since the gauge doesn't tell you that.

Expert tech for 32 years. Thats a great way to destroy your cars compressor. You have zero idea how much freon your installing. Good thing is it brings more work into my shop after the disaster happens LOL

Yes as you know the best way is to vaccum 1st and refill with exact amount of refrigerant called for. I've done it both ways for years, no problems with this. But you're right it can easily go bad if you mess up 👍

​@@JonnyDIYWithout gauges how do you know the amount? These kits don't tell you the important pressure that you need to know. They can also contain moisture and destroy components.

No it should be same/very similar. Only real difference is usually location of pressure ports 👍

Let me ask you a ' stupid question '. To eliminate the possibilty at introducing ANY amount of air into the system,i.e. the hose, would it be wise to hold back on the collar partially where you connect to the LOW SIDE and very quickly press the LEVER on the can thereby eliminating the air once the freon comes out(wear gloves), and THEN letting GO of the collar immediately, so it is allowed to FULLY snap closed?
