I've used that brand on a few cars. Works great providing you don't have a leak or compressor that went to shit. Simple fix for an AC system that isn't as cool as you'd like

System safe stop leak sealer stops most common A/C leaks on hoses, gaskets and O-Rings

Red flag right there for me! Ain't no replacement for replacement of worn or broken parts.Then again, I do this type of thing for a living.

I can recharge your system for a few dollars, the correct way.

I dont think its leaking anything. But it does seem like they have a lot of chemicals in that can lol.

I just used that stuff on the bonne, have a feeling it has a leak still as it didnt feel as cold the last few days. I have not check the gauge yet so that could just be in my head.

Where at? I'll be replacing a bad hose on one of my cars and i'll need it charged again.

I bought the manifold gauge set a few years ago so that I could charge my A/C for all of my cars, as well as anyone else's that needs it. The set was on sale for about $40 so I figured why not. It's better to not be flying blind without the proper gauges, or just filling the system with extra compounds that it doesn't need. I still need to get off of my ass and buy the vacuum pump so I can pull proper vacuum hold tests though. Eventually....

I'd do it at work but don't need a ton of people showing up at the shop. So my house.

Before you buy it, Make sure your A/C compressor is working.

To find out if its working turn on your car and ac and put it on the highest setting.

and if the center of the compressor is spinning then its working and you could go ahead and buy that! lol

...

If the center is not spinning, Its becouse it has none of that a/c freeon or w.e .

so the cars computer wont turn on the compressor because it can burn out, since the freeon lubricates it.

and in order to put the A/C pro on your car, Your a/c compressor needs to be spinning,

To make it spin

you need to take out the A/C relay. and put a paper clip in its place.

then turn on the car and a/c and the center of compressor should be spinning. then you take out the low side of the a/c service cap and plug that A/C pro can and when your done.

put the A/C relay back on. and the compressors should be working fine and your a/c will be blowing cold!!!

lol

Not to be a dick, but bad advice!

 

[SKYLINE]

lol maybe. Its a little getho xD

 

[Ti28]

That it is. If the system is empty it should be sucked down into a vacuum and filled with liquid through the high side for your initial charge. Then top off if needed on the low side with gas.

Doing this, replaces the need to jerry rig it to fill it.

Well it blows decently cold right now. Im not complaining about it. But might try the stuff just to see if i can get it any colder. I like wasting money on silly things for no reason.
