@DaveTheyCallme Bleh, it's not that difficult, and you guys charge way too much. This is what is wrong with America today. People don't do things themselves so they waste money. America is very wasteful. This isn't rocket science, and it's people like you that make it out to be so, taking other people's hard earned money. Listen, he might not have explained it the best way, but it doesn't mean it needs to be left to the professionals.

make sure you get the right port, on R134 I think they are both the same size, if you accidentally connect the can to the high side , the can will explode. Once you find the right one, to get the can to empty faster put in a warm pan of water.

@saturnx311 how about if you dont have the mula to pay the grease monkeys?

This guy knows just enough to be dangerous. I wouldn't trust a car's system to those Chinese gauges. Take the thing in to a mechanic if it's not cold. They can check the whole system for leaks and fix them. Why was it low in the first place? Obviously it was leaking! Listen, I've swapped out engines, transmissions...freplaced pistons and just about every part on a car, but I would take the car in get the thing diagnosed and repaired properly. It doesn't take a village to figure that out.

Hmmm. I'll seee what I can do. One would also need to purchase the hose and that gage you showed too, right. Or when you purchase the freon does it all come together.
