Because it does not destroy ozone
you can buy the right refrigerant over the counter at checker auto or auto zone, the correct refrigerant is 134a
Buy a kit at Wal-Mart or auto parts comes with instructions
Anyone can buy refrigerant as long as they have taken and passed the EPA Section 608 Certification.
All VWs manufactured after mid-1993 use R-134A as their refrigerant, UNLESS you are in Europe, in which case you'd use HC12. A recharge can of around 350 grams of R-134A will run you around $10 at your local parts house. If you're interested in recharging it yourself, buy one with a detachable input valve, which will be blue, and have a pressure gauge built into it to help you determine how much R-134A needs to be added.
Buy yourself a large can of R-134a refrigerant from any auto parts store and follow the instruction on the can itself; it's a cinch. Make sure the refrigerant comes with a connector hose and gauge. The refrigerant was about $50, but you get $10 core charge back when you turn the empty can back into the auto parts store.
Yes, you can buy freon for a Daewoo Leganza, but it’s important to determine the specific type of refrigerant required for your vehicle, as older models may use R-134a or R-12. You can find refrigerant at auto parts stores, online retailers, or through automotive service centers. However, it's advisable to have refrigerant added by a professional to ensure proper handling and avoid potential environmental hazards.
buy a charging kit of r-134a refrigerant attach to the low-side charging connection (NEVER THE HIGH SIDE) the low side should have a dust cap that needs removing
It holds 1.32 lbs (or 21 oz) of 134a Refrigerant - when totally empty. The Denso A/C compressor holds 3 oz of PAG oil when drained off the car. Freon was the Dupont name for old Freon 12 (phased out back in 1982) and that refrigerant requires a license to buy today. So most people retro fit those older pre 1982 cars to run the new 134a.
1994 and later models use R-134a refrigerant. Previous models used R-12 which by federal law is restricted for sale to the home mechanic. Take any early model cars to a qualified mechanic and have it replaced with R-134a. You can buy a R-134a kit at any parts store and do it yourself. NOTE: Never add more than two cans at home. If the system is still not getting cold (30-40 degrees cooler than outside ambient) it should be taken to a repair shop for proper service and repair.
Go to walmart and buy a retrofit kit. They include 2 R-134a fittings to put on the A/C lines, 3 cans of R-134a Refrigerant, oil, and usually stopleak. And a recharge hose with a pressure gauge built in.
Hook up a/c refrigerant to the suction side. be careful to not add to much. you can buy a guage and r134a freon at wal-mart or pep boys for cheap.. but you can't buy r-12 if the system is still r-12 you should consider retrofitting to 134a
Unless the system has been upgraded, it'll still use R-12 refrigerant, which is extremely hard to find, and extremely expensive since it is no longer manufacturer. All new cars use R-134a refrigerant as it doesn't degrade the ozone. Take the car to the dealer, because you can't buy refrigerant without a licence, and if you had the licence, you wouldn't be asking this question.
