Only after you have put a set of gauges on the a/c system to read both the high and low side pressure readings then you can determine if you need to add freon and oil to the system. If you just add freon and oil because the a/c system is not as cold as it once was it could still be full but might have something else wrong with it. The one thing that you don't want to do is buy one of the do it yourself kits and overcharge the system, this could lead to an expensive repair due to overcharging the a/c system..........
When you are going to add Freon to a Toyota Camry, you need to know which type to add. You will need to put the Freon recharging coupler to the recharging kit, and get the engine to operating temperature. When the engine is at operating temperature put the air conditioning on the lowest setting and recharge the Freon with the windows of the car rolled down.
where do u put freon in a smart cAR 2009
Never add freon to your own car. This is very dangerous and can kill you. A/C systems are very high pressure and If you buy a freon kit to add freon to your car. It will be propane which is highly flammable. Take it to a dealer to get it done. Also if you ever add it and it is leaking out then it can explode if it gets near a spark.
Your car contains no Freon R12, it contains R134 which is not Freon. If you need to add refrigerant then you have a leak. It is illegal to add refrigerant without first repairing the leak. Take it to a professional and get the leak repaired.
Freon is a very touchy thing to work with. The EPA bans its release into the atmosphere, so only experts and professionals know how to add and subtract Freon from the car safely. Take your car to a mechanic or a Chevy dealer for this.
under the car up close to the front need ramps to get to it
Periodically check your freon levels. For most of us, that is once a year unless the air conditioner is not consistently blowing cool air. Freon is no longer available to uncertified people, and newer cars use another type of coolant.
yes, it will blow out your seals. causeing all the freon you just put in to leak out. yes
To add Freon to a 1994 Volvo 850 you will need to buy 4 cans of Arctic Ice and one can of blue dye. Use the spray can nozzle to attach to the air conditioning compressor and add the Freon. I am a certified auto AC tech and would not recommend putting 4 cans of Freon in a car AC system all at once. If you do not have gauges then put one can of Freon (refrigerant) in at a time. Have the air conditioner turned up on high, the car running and begin adding the Freon while shaking the can. When the compressor kicks on ( you should hear the compressor click on) you should almost be finished. If the compressor cycles in and out quickly this means you need more Freon. If the compressor clicks on and runs for a minute or 2 then put no more Freon in the system.
the port to add freon is under the car in front of engine coming off the compressor hard to get to but can be done
The only freon available is R134a. Your car most like came with R12. That means it will have to have the system evacuated at a shop, and then be converted to the R134a. Look at the fittings where the freon is to be introduced to the system....if they are screw on, then your car needs to be changed over to the newer refrigerant....if they are quick connects, you simply need to add R134a.
you use freon to cool your car and make the air conditioner work
