only ac [air conditioner]
Freon might be low.
Usually in front of the radiator, used to cool the freon down.
you use freon to cool your car and make the air conditioner work
It is illegal to use #12 due to damage to ozone layer
On all years, makes and models you will need to go to any automotive a/c repair shop and have them reclaim this for you.... (Do not just let it out in the atmosphere this is illegal)....... Depending of if your have R-12 freon or R134A freon you can buy the R134a freon at any auto parts store but you need to be licensed to buy R-12 freon.........
Car airconditioning works similarly to the air con in your house. As freon is compressed it cools, in the lines of a air conditioner is freon. The compressor pressurises the freon in the lines and those lines run through a condensor box that has air flowing through it. Those lines cool, and as such the air blowing by them cools and comes out the car vents. This is simplistic but accurate.
Your car uses refrigerant not Freon. Freon is a brand name put out by DuPont. All ac systems use refrigerant often mistakenly called Freon. All of them!!! Check for a decal under the hood or on the compressor for the information you seek. I believe that around 1996 car makers started using R-134A instead of R-12 refrigerant. Hope this helps.
my son's car is a 98 Altima and does not have cool air coming through yet the blower does work will -- if it just freon benng needed. How do we locate the air jnit?
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.
where do u put freon in a smart cAR 2009
You coud be leaking freon. Or the level of freon in the car could be low or shot. Best thing to do is to go get it checked, and get it refilled. Freon is what makes the air cold. Not sure what type of freon your car requires. Some you have to have a license to use, others you can purchase at your local auto parts store. -Allen
FreonThe connection is on or close to the receiver dryer. If you add too much, the compressor will lock up or it won't cool very good. They don't sell Freon any longer. By the way, your car takes R134A refrigerant. If you add Freon, you ruin it.
