Re: Anyone Recharge Their Own AC?
yes....I broke loose the connector at the ac condenser(right at the radiator) so it all leaked out....Got a new o-ring for it.....sinched it down....got the stuff from auto store and did it all myself....
way less than taking it somewhere to be done....like 1/3 the price.

You can do it , compressors like air and moisture mixed with refrigerant - not, evacuate it than charge it.

I did mine. My neighbor has one of those pumps to evacute the moisture. It took hours to get it down to -28. After that I added one can of the oil stuff and two cans of 134. You can get a kit a Walmart that has a thermometer AND one of those gauges you push onto the low side to see if you have too much or too little refrigerant for under $10. It works because the temp at the vent is like 54 degrees. Not bad for a gear head.
