@bhstone1 lol nice try.

@CSXRockford If it's a severe leak then yes refrain from using stuff like this and diagnose and repair the leak. But for minor leaks, like in my old beat up Maxima, this is fine. I topped it off in may with this kit and it blew ice cold all summer long. Got plenty left too for next year.

@pimpb0tt Just did this myself. Worked well. I need more R134a, tho. My charge was low. I got it into the green, but not all the way up to pressure. AC works much better now. I'm going to get another can and do it the rest of the way. Yeah, it might piss out over the next year or two, but I'll just do it again. Better than dropping fat cash for an expensive repair.

Well... technically, yes.
My 96 GTi never lost a bit of pressure in the 10 years I owned it. My wife's 97 Jetta leaked a tiny bit, and would need a little bit of a recharge about every 3 years to the tune of $100. To fix her leak, it would have taken a $800 trip to the mechanic. I just wish I was hip to this thing, or I would have done it myself. I'll take a can and top it off every so often over a major repair bill. Now, my Audi needs a top off. Gonna go get a can now.

If your system is low you have a leak, you need to find the leak and fix it and do not use this crap. This is not the way to recharge your system.
If you have lost refrigrent it is very likely moisture has entered the system. Using this recharge kit you are not removing that moisture only use after removing all moisture; failure to do so will self destruct the cooling system, the compressor handles vapor not liquid/moisture.

@MrDJskillage While we can appreciate your comment, yes most minor leaks will allow a small amount of moisture into the system. However because we are dealing with small leaks with this product the moisture is absorbed by the drying agent in the product and is carried and deposited into the desiccant within the receiver dryer or accumulator. What most people do not understand is that these systems leak from day one which is why it is necessary for the OE manufactures to include a desiccant.

My guage goes up when the compressor is on and down when off. Which reading gives me the accurate level? Compressor on or compressor off?

@YouStupidBunny You need to check the pressure when the compressor is cycled on.

Great stuff, great video . It's easy, specially if the low- side port fits only where it should ( like on my car )
