Great video what makes the can start getting cold

[@JonnyDIY]

@@tbh1304 the refrigerant itself starts to get the can cold, has something to do with the liquid refrigerant turning into a gas that makes it cold 👍

[@JonnyDIY]

@@broco6608 if your can has the self sealing valve tops yes you can save to reuse or use on separate vehicle. Im not sure if all the states have moved to using self sealing cans, Im in California

[@JonnyDIY]

@@broco6608 yes the can will say if it's self sealing. If you cant get self sealing just be sure to buy the smallest cans you can, usually 12oz 👍 they're cheap around $10 a can sometimes cheaper

My AC has been blowing out hot air. I got my inspection sticker this month and asked the mechanic at the shop; how much they would charge to fix my AC?...dude said $250...I said I would call my husband to make sure, my husband said, "hell no!!". We saw this video, hubby fixed 3 cars within 15 min! Mine, his, and his coworker that was helping him with some renovations that was at our house...he had also gone to a mechanic and they were asking for $220! You saved us so much time and money! You're the best! Especially with these hot days, my kids are thankful for it too! 💖

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Sometimes that can be dangerous. I have a rule. Phone's off if I have my hands or body in something that can badly hurt me if I get distracted. I was doing light globes yesterday to change the bulb. Once I was up near the 9.7 foot ceiling, the building better be on fire til I'm done. Same with anything electricity, like car batteries. They can blow up if you're an idiot. So BE PREPARED. Have a fire extinguisher, a gallon or two of potable water, fire/wool blanket...you name it. Take your time and DON'T get distracted! If you're WAY ready for ANY emergency (say if the can blows up or something, you're READY). The more safety stuff you're ready with, the less likely you'll ever use any of it. This is why I have at LEAST TWO tire gages and phone chargers PER CAR. One + a spare!

[@vivianmalhiers]

Great job with the video, short & simple for anyone to follow along! I got a question; I’ve read that the air within the hose that comes along with refrigerant can contains oxygen and water vapor that can damage the ac system. With professional installations where a vacuum pump is used to drain the system of any moisture this concern is non existent. Can you maybe explain whether that little air present within the hose is capable of causing damage and maybe provide an update on the car featured in this video? Thank you in advance and sorry about the excessively long question lol.

[@JonnyDIY]

No worries about that tiny bit of air in the hose. This car's AC still works great. Have done this same process with no negative effects on many cars. Just be sure not to overfill as I mentioned and youll be fine. I also have a video on vacuuming system before. That way you can add back exact amount for car.

If you used a full can and still somewhat warm, the system may have been really low. If system was completely empty you would need to vacuum out air, but if a little in it may just be low still. Should be sticker on inside of hood that'll tell you the ounces of refrigerant used for car, usually around 2 lbs (32oz) or less

You can slowly add more from another can until it gets to around 45-50 degrees, just go slow may only need 1/2 can more

One mistake You didn’t purge the house to get air out of the hose. That air in the hose has moisture so you put all that air into yr system. You barely squeeze the trigger until a little refrigerant is coming out then you connect it to the fitting

[@JonnyDIY]

Thanks for sharing, yes you can purge the line 👍

[@michael-qp9xd]

Hello - read that hose has air with moisture inside so just connecting for basic charging and just pushing trigger one is injecting both r134a and air/moisture in ac system with moisture bad for system. Why not trigger can slightly as first pushing connector down onto port so some of air/moisture is removed first from hose?

Is it just a matter of gauging the temperature of air from the vent or do you have to also squeeze the freon in up to the end of the green right before the yelllow?

[@JonnyDIY]

@@jpd3484 the gauges on those hoses aren't the most accurate so I wouldn't go by that. I'd just add slowly until cold and then stop to avoid overfilling 👍

I was trying to do this earlier before watching videos, and when I put it on, it gave me a pressure reading, but I just couldn't figure out how to get it to go in (Mine has a lock on the top instead of a trigger) When I went back to it, it wouldn't give me a pressure reading at all. Any idea why this is?

[@JonnyDIY]

Make sure taking pressure readings with engine running and AC on. I'm thinking the nozzle may not be on all the way, try taking on off couple times. And if your hose has a screw down top you need to turn it clockwise to drive it down and open can

[@calebfox1584]

@@JonnyDIY thanks for the reply! Turns out my fiddling around earlier had gotten the pressure to be very low and the gauge wasn't reading right, but once I started putting some in, it fixed it self and it feels great now

@@calebfox1584 awesome glad to hear you got it working. And you're welcome, happy to help 👍

Follow directions on the can! This doesn't show/tell that the vehicle should be in the shade, with all doors open and the vehicle started before beginning recharge. These are directions right on the can.

Okay so now to the store to buy a thermometer to put in my vent! Thanks, I’m trying to teach my son how to do this (he is turning 16). But I gotta act like I know what I’m doing first lol

Lol nice! Good luck. Hope you guys get it going 👍

Love your videos, thanks so much! I’m blessed with a 2003 Toyota Corolla (original owner, always been garaged) that's NEVER needed any repairs (110,000 miles), but surely the A-C will start to get "tired." While many components can fail, I'm guessing it's common for a pinhole leak to occur, in which case simply re-filling the system as you demonstrate does not fix the problem, only band-aid it. And sure, "Judgment Day" is no doubt coming for my mighty Corolla's A-C system down here in South Georgia. So, can you provide a link to any "leak remedy" product that you recommend (this would be after, of course, checking for any connections that worked themselves loose, then tightening them)? Same question for any "system rejuvenation" products (I've been told that internal seals dry out, things get gunked up, etc., so if there's something relatively cheap that owners can do to rejuvenate their system before surrendering to a mechanic, I'm all in!). I'm hoping that there's a refill product containing leak-plugging stuff in it (but maybe I'm just wildly fantasizing). I could swear I've heard of someone remedying their failed A-C system this way. Thanks again!

[@JonnyDIY]

You're welcome. Yes when a car gets older it usually starts slowly leaking out refrigerant from either worn O rings on all the various connections or from compressor itself. You can try adding some AC stop leak refrigerant when recharging if you have a very slow leak. Here's a link to product Ive had luck with. amzn.to/2DpUVOQ And here's a link to a video I made demonstrating the proper way to use it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKnFn4iaa5lse9U

I have a 2000 Corolla with almost 300K on it ...all original and no major repairs thus far. Just plugs, injectors,. ignition coils and a valve cover gasket and an air intake gasket.

If you don’t have a thermometer to use, do you just stop when it hits the green? i’m worried to overfill it, thanks for the help!

[@JonnyDIY]

Yes that'll work, as soon as it reaches green and is blowing cold. It can take a lot of gas in the green. So as soon as in green and cold is good 👍

How do you remove air once you install a complete a/c kit to a 05 Jeep Liberty 3.7 liter. I did what you suggested however I think that my new system may have some air in it. I didn't take it to a garage to replace i did it myself.

[@JonnyDIY]

@@apriltaylor1085 when installing a new ac system or whenever you open it and expose to air you need to vacuum it. Here's a video I made showing process 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/npzNi4F6rt2pndEsi=XsLKvD3a6qh6Uqzp

[@noHandle1776]

Soooo... if the system is low, there is a leak. It will just leak out again. This is a wasteful temporary bandaid.

[@JonnyDIY]

In this instance the leak took 11 years to leak out maybe 1/3 total refrigerant. Sometimes its a slow leak, if a large leak, yes thats a waste

[@noHandle1776]

@@JonnyDIY good point, very true. $20-30 for 11 years of ac ain't bad.

[@JonnyDIY]

@@noHandle1776 yes it was my cousin's car, he said it's still working perfect this year. Glad it wasn't a large leak. I usually will vacuum system to check for leaks

[@JeffTheHokie]

All systems leak A LITTLE. The gasket that seals the compressor relies on fluid lubricating it to complete the seal. A properly functioning AC can lose around 2 oz per year. Once the car is about 10 or 11 years old, the fluid will be noticeably low even without a "true" leak.

[@Wsimm77]

Thanks for the help! Just got done recharging my car! I got in shortly after recharging with the AC on to check it out, should I be worried with breathing in the air from my ac? thank you!

[@JonnyDIY]

You're welcome, glad I could help. No, no worry about breathing. The refrigerant gas will stay contained in AC system 👍
