if you have a small can of refrigerant you attach the specially made hose to it. then connect the other end to the vehicles low pressure fitting. this fitting is always on the larger of the 2 a/c pipes. start the engine, turn on the a/c and if the compressor works properly the can should be empty in a few seconds. remove the hose from the vehicle first while the engine is still running with the a/c on.
where do u put freon in a smart cAR 2009
It is illegal to use #12 due to damage to ozone layer
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.
A 1999 Cavalier does not use Freon as a refrigerant.
no, losing the manual would not cause the car to use freon.
No, Freon is no longer used in vehicles' cooling system. Should you take your car in for maintenance, the mechanic will use a special vacuum to remove and properly dispose of the Freon. The mechanic will then use R-134, a replacement for Freon.
all i know is that freon is put into air conditioning units in your car. it's what causes your A/C to be cold
yes, it will blow out your seals. causeing all the freon you just put in to leak out. yes
The line that you fill freon to in a car is known as the fill line. Going past the line can cause overflow, or even damage your vehicle.
It's too volatile.
Freon is the trade name for R12. Your car contains R134 or R134a which is not Freon.
Freon is put in the "Low" pressure side of the AC system.How to find it:When you open your hood, you'll see an AC line with an input line on it. The one closest to the front of the car is a High pressure side- DO NOT use this one.Instead go to the right side of the car and look for another AC line with another 'service port' coming from the passenger side of the car. Unscrew it, and attach your Freon line here.
