[bloodrain]

Hey I've been noticing my A/C is smelling funny and my A/C light keeps blinking, im assuming it means its time to refill it. Anyone know how to do this and how hard is it...? Thanks guys.

Ok I'll try again maybe you'll read what I have to say.
First you DO NOT have suction. Both high side and low side are positve pressure.

You need to take your car to a mechanic and find the leak. after they recover the left over refrigerant, they'll repair the leak. Once finished they will recharge your system.

Over the counter freon will not solver your problem. R134A is a cemical (HCFC). It does not get old, expire, or what ever you want to call it. They reason your a/c in not working maybe because your compressor is bad or you have a leak.

Dont charge it yourself, refrigerant can kill you. Take it to a professional, not autozone (No offense). A pro. will solve your problem the first time, not prolong the problem.


Oh, I forgot to mention. I am a Certified Universal CFC Technician with the state of New York. And Certified Refrigeration Operating Engineer with the state of New York.

hey thanks, i am going to take it up to my mechanic, who will most likely find the leak for me at no charge, and get a price quote. do you think it will run any more than $50 for repairing and then recharging? is this something i could wait for, or should it be done ASAP (i know summer is coming up and I would love to have A/C for summer thanks again
