So easy to follow, explained so comprehensively.Thank you .

When you are showing this the way you handle the gauge, the light is on it and I couldn't read it. Your video is very informative (me being a woman) it really made it easy. I probably won't be doing it myself but at least I am informed. God bless you and thank you in Jesus name.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share with us this video, it is very easy to understand to follow instructions.

Been watching a lot of videos to try and figure this out, but yours is the best. Thanks for walking through all the steps, and explaining why you go through each! So helpful!

I think you would have made an excellent Video, IF....you had practiced this a couple of times and not had to have amended your statements, especially purging air from can discharge hose, holding the can upright, etc. Too much "AND", "uh" and "ok" makes one think if you really have done this for 25 years.

Scotty Kilmer's auto repair channel might also help and injecting dye can help find a leak. Leak detector or soap bubbles can help also.

Hey Paul,great video! I have a Toyota Avensis,10 years old,with original aircon gas! Right now,here in Ireland,we are in the middle of hottest heatwave in over 100 years,so i am gonna try recharging aircon myself!! Thanks for info!

the best and most informative!!! Answered all my questions. Thank you

The best tutorial on A?C recharging method seen in you tube until now!

This is the Best Video to watch with all the use-full information and details..... Thank You very much !!!

You can slug liquid into the compressor if it is upside down. Liquids can't compress, so you can damage the compressor by injecting liquids into the suction side. Pressure is directly related to temperature.

So far your video is the most informative. I have done this in the past. Just needed a refresher it has been a while! Thanks.

Thanks for the clear explanation even 5 years later!

Great detail explained in a simplified manner!

You're great at demonstrating! Thanks so much.

Thank You. Very detailed. I feel confident I can do this correctly now!

the only video on tube that doesn't forget to purge the line. all others inject moisture and air into AC. TU !!!

And when ADDING Freon, DO NOT depend only on amount of Freon to add and low/high pressure readings, but most importantly, AMBIENT TEMPERATURE at moment Freon is being added. There is a very important balance between amount of Freon to add and ambient temperature at moment of charging the Freon.

Great video. Really did help me. Best part was releasing the pressure. A++++++

Many thanks for your lucid explanation

One thing is to be sure its not over pressured, if so you should vacuum it out (some people just let all the freon out to zero pressure low side with car OFF), then refill at least until pressure is within green range AND its blowing cold too (should be 44F to 50F typically). Good vid. I prefer the longer hose so it can stay out of the way (some cars have Low side fitting way down by the compressor, hard to reach and keep can out of radiator fans.

To invent peace. It's not a vacuum to remove some freon . It's a recovery machine . Has an In port and an out port. A vacuum has only one port. It needs to be moved from the car into a legal recovery tank and records kept until legally disposed of.

Hi Paul, I have a 2005 Pontiac Vibe base model, (essentially a Toyota Corolla), that I'm told has a failing compressor. Hasn't failed yet completely, but it's failing and the air is not getting as cold as it should. I'm planning to replace the compressor. The condenser was just replaced 2 years ago so I am assuming the condenser is still OK. What do you recommend as far as chemically flushing out the AC system prior to the repair? Do you think that is necessary being the compressor hasn't completely failed yet? Also, I've heard if you're going to replace a compressor you should also replace the expansion valve. That would cost me almost a $1000 in labor just to get to that thing due to having to remove the dash, I assume.. Do you think it is necessary for me to replace the expansion valve at this time also?

Thanks bud, you're a really good teacher.

Actually no. 134A or any blended refrigerant is always charged inverted (upside down). This helps to keep the blended refrigerants from separating. You never discharge refrigerant to the atmosphere, period.

Great video with lots of details! This was made in 2016. Is it still "relevant" today (2022)? I ask that because some more recent videos emphasize to hold the can upside down rather than right side up as you emphasize. Thanks!

Had a high mileage car and a/c would work then stop after getting warmed up, used shims on clutch to bring it in closer or gap it closer and worked

Hi, I intend to DIY clean the cooling coil/evaporator. If the connecting hose is disconnected, will the Freon escape, and upon reconnection, do I need to vacuum before refilling. TQ.

Great explanation!

Very understanding good demonstration.

Thank you, great video.

LOW refrigerant does not mean a bad compressor- it means a leak. Refrigerant is not consumed it leaks out sometimes. Finding the leak and replacing oil and refrigerant after a fix is indicated. The low pressure switch can prevent compressor clutch from engaging also. Just a couple things to consider if you are a do it yourself kind of guy. Thank you for sharing with us. nice help video

Thank You! That helped a lot.

The old stuffs R-12. I kept the needle in the green when the engine is on and the a/c is on full blast. Even when the clutch on the compressor disengages during the on/off cycles of the compressor. You can audible here the clutch click on and off every now and then. I like the A/C Pro gauge kit the best. I think is between 25 psi and 40. I have a video also on KZread of how to use the ac pro gauge.

Thank you very much for the detailed information.I will be doing my 07 Camry tomorrow.

Over fill or under fill or allow air in, won't cool. Sight glass is an import thing and on top of the receiver / dryer. Bubbles while running, low! Very few bubbles not so much & certainly not a can. Bubbles gone, stop! Once off, count up to 15 seconds and not bubbles but level in sight glass drop. System is done. Overfilled if level never drops and use a good light! Check 28 other issues and done. Most likely, compressor shaft seal. Not easy to replace as it is buried with compressor off. Lube O-rings W/R12 lube as R134a is hydrophobic and draws moisture into threads. It will peel aluminum threads off if it moves! Have a lucky one! DK,,ASE Master since 78, retired.

!Great video!

Well my gauge goes down to green when the compresser runs, then into the red when it isnt running? My gauge says to charge to blue range. It was to the 25 in the green. So is it charged if its at 70 when clutch isnt running?? The air isnt cold, the clips never turned any color!! I need help. The clutch goes on n off?? Then i got a different hose with the pop up green thing, same thing, its to the top green then when clutch runs it goes way down?? Is it supposed to stay up? No cool air??

Not sure if you still reply but i added r134a to the green just shy of 30. But cold isnt really cold at all. I did discover at the compressor low line connector was spraying out when clutch would engage. However now ac clutch continues to run but not cold at all in cabin. Any thoughts?
