Hey just wanna say thank you for this video Last week my car AC crapped out on me. Scheduled a service appointment for 2 weeks from now. Looked online at this video and went out and bought my own refrigerant can (similar to In this video). Watched your instructions, and followed can instructions. Now my car is cool. Worked like a charm. Canceled the appointment. Saved me a lot of money and sweat from driving in a hot car with a 2 year old. Thanks sir!!!!

I agree, some mechanics are 100% ripping people off and taking advantage of people. The reason why some prices are super high though are because you’re laying for their knowledge, which often includes years of experiences, schooling (sometimes) and the multiple ase tests (they cost around 50 dollars each and there are 19 of them.) Most shops also do by the hour, and offer the necessary parts or fluids needed for the specific vehicle. They need to keep their shops running and their employees paid. 130 is extremely ridiculous though, compared to the 25 bucks and diy aspect of it all.!

This is a good video, however for those calling mechanica crooks and thieves and whatever else you have to understand that they are doing the actual process of filling your air conditioning. Ita not just shoot a can of freon into your system and feel for temps. It actually draws your system down, see how much was in your vehicle. Then draws it back up and checks to see if it will hold vacuum (ie leak check) as well as putting oil into the system to lubricate your compressor. This is a very easy trick to do if your freon is just low bur dont bash mechanics for the actual process of doing it.

The real answer to the fight in the comments is: ANY PRODUCT IS GOOD IF YOU USE IT RIGHT! I got 2006 Nissan Quest with A/C barely blowing cool. I work on my cars myself and love doing things right. However, this time I don't have money, but really need to fix A/C, even temporarily. I got a similar kit from Walmart and CAREFULLY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS (which almost nobody does). I held the can upright and tilted to 3 o'clock position per the instructions, not upside down like the author did. The pressure didn't wanna go up and stayed at about 28 psi. The instruction says: 'For some vehicles with expansion valves the filling level cannot properly defined by using the pressure gauge at the low side, it always stays at 25-30 psi.' So I didn't try to charge it to death, but instead went inside and checked the vent air temperature. It was cold as hell! So I'm good now until I get money to fix the system properly. Best $20 spent ever!

@Mauraworld4 жыл бұрын
@@pczapp827 Thanks for the feedback -- what I did not mention was when we attached the first can to the valve it was not tight enough and 3/4 of the contents of the can leaked out all over our hands; that in itself wasted almost 1 of the cans (amateur mistake). I'm sure if we had the valve snapped on tight enough initially we would only have used 1 can. Also, the gauge that came with the refrigerant we purchased has a meter that tells you when it's full so you know when to stop filling.

You need need to fill the system while holding the can upright not upside down. Otherwise you risk damaging the compressor because when you flip the can upside down you are pumping the refrigerant in liquid form instead of gas. Both ways work but if you fill it in liquid form you have a high chance of breaking the compressor. In gas form you have no chance of damaging the compressor.

Thanks for sharing this video. I have this problem on my RAV4 2008 just bought it a week ago. I didn't pay attention to the A/C and the seller failed to mention it to me. after watching your video, I now have the idea what to do to get it sorted.

Thank you!!! Very informative. I just went to Walmart and bought a different brand but it worked perfectly!

Glad I watched this. I have a 17 yo Chevy Tracker and need to refill the Freon. I was afraid I could only get it done at a repair shop.

Refrigerant doesn't dissipate itself. You have a leak someplace else. It's probably the evaporator or the compressor.

that is pure bullshit

If it's a small leak it will have sealant included in most cans of refrigerant
@johnvalarinos26684 жыл бұрын
There is a "Static Leak" at the ceramic seal on the front of the compressor. It's very small but it exists. It's not something you can see or hear. It actually takes years to leak significantly.

I’m totally scared to try this myself but it looks pretty easy and COVID-19 has me out of work and doing door dash in Az in over 100 degrees. I bought my refrigerant and gauge. Thank you for this video! I’m going to be up early attempting to fix my ac.

Trisha I was pretty nervous too when recharging my ac system. I just did it today (it was 90° out which is hot for the area I live in. I enjoyed north pole cold air the whole day while driving. How did you fare? Did things work for you? I realize your post was a year or more ago...

For the ladies on here complaining, this may be the temp fix you say, but I did exactly this 3 years ago to a car that was blowing some crazy hot air. It's still blowing cold 3 years later for that 14 dollar fix. I guess the "fix the leak!" Happened when the can of refrigerant with LEAK SEALER ....

Black Beard same here. I'd bet most comments saying you need a professional are professionals drumming up business. Just my opinion.

Agreed, did this to my Outback with AC Pro, and it blew cold air for 3 years till I eventually sold it.

Man oh man! Quick and easy. Got the large size at Harbor Freight. $29.99. Did my Tacoma. I hope there is enough left to do my niece’s new Beetle.

I have seen it written that you should bleed the air out of the fill line by sending a little refrigerant through it first, also don't turn the can upside down when filling because any liquid from the can can damage the compressor, apart from that, nice clear video.
@stephenbrown7545 Жыл бұрын
Correct...this video its not the correct way to charge a system .He is not rotating the can 12 to 3 o'clock position...more like 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock (can upside down)

Very good video. Thanks for doing this instruction with just straight talk. So many DYI videos have some damned much extraneous bla-bla-blaw.
