@JonnyDIY 2 года назад

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.

@androidphone6972 Месяц назад

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

Dang, well glad they got front working. Yes AC systems can cost thousands when you start working on them. Very expensive, mostly the labor

I used the same product on 2010 Corolla which seemed to have zero pressure. I kept adding but pressure doesn’t go over 20 psi. I wonder if I should keep pumping and complete the whole bottle? The AC did blow cold air after filling a bit. If there’s a leak - should be hearing any hissing noise?

@JonnyDIY 2 года назад

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 👍

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.

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?

@JonnyDIY Год назад

Not a stupid question. Yes, you can do that beforehand. It's called purging the line 👍
