Check the manual... where you empty...might need more than 2 cans before the compresor will get full charge.
The compressor is about to go out
None of the above - this is normal operation of a cycling clutch compressor.
It's supposed to. You have a cycling clutch compressor. When system pressure reaches a predetermined high, a sensor disengages the compressor clutch, and engages it back on when system pressure drops to a predetermined low point. What you're experiencing is normal operation.
1 small can of compressor oil/conditioner and 3 cans of 134
you are low in r 134a freon ,connect hose from can of 134a with sealant to stop minor leak ,2 cans would be fine compressor will start blowing cold air ,andit will seal minor leaks.
Sounds like you may infact still be low on freon get the hose with the guage and it will let you know when it is full . and Remember that if you replace the freon from R12 To R134a the 134a will only be 75% of what the R12 was In LBS. And if it is full check the low pressure switch located on the suction side of system. not knowing what or how large of system you have cannot tell you what it may take to get it up to the 40 to 45 lb range . nor knowing the specs on your low pressure switch. Hope it helps Ron
If your doing a total refill. Then, If I recall correctly is 4 cans of 134A.
2 cans i think, i cant find my spec sheet.
AC compressor mounting is on bottom right of engine....access from underneath....Suction line is the larger line leading from compressor....remove dust cap...start car.....turn on ac....to lowest setting....on 134a use a recharge kit with pressure guage....know the ambient temperature (outside temp) before attaching ....if compressor is not running....keep hose and 134a attached....shaking can ....a low pressure switch is on this system to protect compressor .....when compressor starts continue with adding 134a.....rotating container from 12 to 3 oclock position.....note pressure....when pressure and ambient temperature are within range ....stated on 134a container...disconnect....hose....you should know ambient temp /pressure setting before you start refill...advisable to use a 134a with refrig. oil and leak seal....if system is low on refrig....will take 2-3 cans to bring within pressure range....do not overfill.....stay within pressure limits....this process will take 10-15 minutes to complete after refrig. hose is attached....be patient....somewhat slow process....read directions on refrig. can as a reminder for process....happy cooling....cecil...
It does use R134a. If it's completely out, you'll probably need 2 cans minimum.
How many cans of Freon does it take to charge a 2004 F150 Ford pick up Truck?
Well on my 94 the low side fill is the blue cap on the compressor trust me use a rag or something to cover the top metal part of the high side line or you will get burned when changing cans of 134a like I did also a black light works to see the leak finder well it did for me.
No - up to a certain amount. The small cans in the DIY kits, you can purchase. You can't purchase the large cylinders without the appropriate certification, however.
I just refilled my 2006 Hyundai sonata with 134a. it's pretty easy. Just by the 134a cans from walmart($7), and the small recharge kit from walmart or kraegen ($11). follow the instructions and its nice simple and quick. or else you can go to Hyundai dealer and they will fill it for $177 only.
