@@tomhier313 Dude. . . Did you watch the video? I'm a female and it's pretty plain... that's the whole point of this video... if it's red or yellow you have to bleed the freon out till in the green to fix it. However, ur not supposed to do that because it bleeds out into the air. . . So I'm not telling you to bleed it. Watch the video AGAI and look at the guy's GAUGE.
@@ServantOfJesusChrist777 thank you for your moronic reply. Wasn't asking you and there's a reason why I was asking. Should read a can of the recharge and maybe you'd understand

Super helpful and it worked!!! My daughter was distraught bc guy at AutoZone accidentally overfilled her freon today and ac was glitchy, blowing warm and fan flipped on/off. She was freaking out bc no one's got extra cash laying around atm--this horrid economic crisis has us all on edge.

Just wanted you to know this video was a lifesaver for me. Took me a long time to figure out how to do this correctly, but its much cheaper than going to a mechanic
@@VehVeloMedia one other question if you don't mind. After filling and then reducing the refrigerant the compressor started being louder. Does that mean I still need to reduce the amount of refrigerant?
Bro! You saved us. I almost has to cancel our road trip because the a/c was blowing hot and the compressor was hissing. Turns out it was overcharged (my fault from the night before) and now I look like a friggin hero. 🤣
Thank you Bro! Your tip worked perfectly. My compressor kept cycling and blowing hot air and I could not figure it out. Your video came to the rescue. My system was overcharged. Now my air works like a champ again.
Awesome video! Very helpful! Just recharged my AC and gague gave me bad reading, thought I was in 30psi but when I was dine it spiked up to 55psi. This video just saved me a lot if $$$. :)
Sir, I have a question. I have a 2011 Camry. Replaced my compressor last year. My passenger side blows cold most of the time while my driver side doesn’t blow ice cold but more so warm or cool if that. My mechanic said I probably have a leak somewhere but it would be too costly to replace or look for it( got 176k miles on it ) so I plugged the same ac charge you got. I’m at about 48 in the green where 50 is top green before it goes yellow. What do you suggest I do to get my ac blowing cold? Bleed it til it’s extremely low then fill it up again or ??? Summer in Texas is just too hot to not have my ac blowing top tier. Thank you.
It sounds like it could be your air door actuator behind the dash of your vehicle Thats causing it to blow cold on one side and warm on the other. Low charge can also cause this issue but may not be the case with your 2011 Camry. Also how bad is the leak? Is it a slow leak? Usually when you recharge or bleed the A/C system both sides should be equally cold. If you cold get some A/C dye and find the leak yourself with a dye light as well this would be more cost effective as well.
My friend I just spent $50 on that gauge. I thought I needed freon and it wasn't the case. Over filled the system and not one bit of cold air. Saw your video did the same and presto ICE COLD A/C. Thanks
Im all for hood mechanics guys. But PLEASE BE SAFE when y’all do this. We don’t want anymore blind or sick people or dying animals. Yes, anti freeze is really toxic for all. This saved me 100$ I could use for food back in the day, but please take it to your pros whenever possible.
Might want to include in you video that shops don't want you to do this because it's highly illegal. Sure your average AutoZone customer won't go to jail over it, but a shop or an HVAC company can. You should at least tell people do this at your own risk.
I appreciate this video. I'm working on an old truck, to learn how to do this; and of course I overcharged it first. Having worked with pressurized air before, I knew there had to be a simple fix for such a simple mistake. Glad you're here, to confirm.
Hi I did over filled my car so i am a bit confussed : when the fans kick in the pressure gauge goes over the green (to yellow which is ALERT) but once the fans stops goes back to green. So shall i drain a bit more until the gauge is on green when the fans kick off?
This fixed my AC on BMW X1, I purchase A/C Pro Air Conditioner Recharge Gauge and Hose Dispenser at Walmart for $25. Problem details: A/C works blow cold 42 degree when it is outside temp is below 65 degrees, AC blows hot air at 75 degree temp . Essentially when it got too hot outside the over filled refrigerant would expand and quick working. Just let some refrigerant out to fix the problem! 🧊🧊🧊🧊 ice cold air 🧊🧊🧊🧊 Pro Tip: use a meat thermometer in your air vent.
Your compressor will go out eventually due to running it overcharged . Get a set a gauges and follow the fill chart based off ambient temperature / humidity .
Just for the record, you probably do not have “Freon” in a newer car. R-134A replaced that many years ago. And I understand they got some other bull crap out now. Only I heard that it’s very flammable and you can’t mix it with the other stuff. That said, my old gauge had a rim around the outside and when you turned it there was a V indicator with the arrow in the center, so you would set that onto the temperature (listed on gauge)with the arrow facing the temperature of the actual outside air while you are charging it. Note that the newer gauge that fits the newer gauge did not have this feature, and it’s important to have this. I will tell you were there is a big difference when it is very hot and when it is not as hot, the gauge goes to different spots when air is cycling. This may be why you said the gauge is not accurate until you wait a while. Yes you should only read it when you can hear it cycling and it will bounce up and then back down. It’s not doing that it’s not cycling. Each time it cycles you would see it the gauge arrow go up and then back down. But apparently some thing and I wasn’t told before and make sure I used an older gauge with an adapter because it has the setting on the new one did not so I had overfilled it. Here is another tip. I found on TH-cam. Press your finger on the off and on the floor button at the same time then click your auto and it will diagnose your AC and perhaps bring up codes you can also keep running the diagnosis it actually cleared my codes and then my buttons now work correctly. Sometimes it only blows at one side or the other or maybe you lost your defroster etc. on the control panel inside the car. So yes I kept running the diagnostic and it did clear all the codes. I’m still having a problem but it eliminated the problem of it not blowing out on the floor. If you have a Lincoln town car mine is a 2006. People see the filter is behind the glove compartment on some videos and this is not true. If you open your hood it’s on the passenger side under the hood at the bottom of the window on the left side you have to pop the grade off and I did this and some idiot had taken out the filter there wasn’t even a filter on it. Of course there’s filters outside here if you use the circulation which is using the already cool air to circulate instead of outside air air conditioner is going to work better and not harder and you won’t get outside air coming in your car. Anyway, there’s a few helpful hints. I still got a problem so I gotta keep going.
Thanks for your help. My car's AC was under charged, - then accidentally overcharged. Now I know what I have to do to lower the charge a little. Thanks again 🙂 Remember, God loves you! 🙂 That's so important!....
So simple and super helpful! I thought I ruined my AC by overcharging it even though it looked undercharged while I was in the process of filling it. If you have a 2009-2013 Carolla, it seems to be more accurate to base your PSI measurements off of the first 30ish seconds after you turn on the AC and the compressor kicks on. When the AC has been running for a while it seems to make the PSI reading drop lower than what is actually accurate for recharging purposes.
The (L) low pressure a/c port. You’ll see one with an H and one with an L. If you you the same connector that you’d add Freon, it should only fit the low connector
I am immensely grateful for the informative video you made about fixing an overcharged AC in a car. Your clear instructions and practical guidance saved me a great deal of time and money. Thanks to your expertise, I was able to resolve the issue with ease. Your generosity in sharing your knowledge is truly commendable, and I cannot thank you enough for making such a helpful resource available to the online community. Your video has been a lifesaver, and I am incredibly thankful for your efforts!
Just make sure nobody sees u doing this it’s illegal to to release ac freon like that but you gotta do what u gotta do sometimes and it’s real bad for u to inhale this stuff so if ur doing try not to breath at all
Do I need to have the car on or can I do it with car off. I just want to empty the system so I can do a replace. The car ac is leaking anyway for long time. I need to replace compressor. I have the same gage wit hose bought it at Walmart.
so i purged and refilled my system for my 2015 ford mustang, bought used. system way overcharged and i refilled it to 40-50psi and my ac is still blowing hot. what can be the issue to fix now
When I hook the gauge up to my AC shows that it's overcharged. With The AC on full blast, I hooked up a similar gauge and it was at like 70 PSI, So I began to bleed the pressure like you are doing in this video but all kinds of green refrigerant started spraying out every time I pulled the trigger and for some reason the psi pressure was not going down very much. Should i have done this with The car running in the AC in the off position instead? I noticed in your video it's just air being released You don't see any yellowish green refrigerant spraying up when pulling the trigger on the tool
That yellow/greenish stuff that came out when you was bleeding the system is dye. Thats used to detect a leak in the lines of the A/C. Yes you want the car running and the A/C running as well
When you confirm overcharging leave a car overnight & on cold engine drain the one or two psi becouse the filler valve on low pressure its on the highes point & all air in the system will be on that point when is stayng overnight so you will drain the air out. Afther you start the car & comlete the process like you show in this video.
@@VehVeloMedia Maybe he means that leaving car overnight allows air to form at top of AC Low pressure valve. So when discharging with cold car, the air or R134a gas will leave while oils lubricating system will stay.
Sorry if I missed it (rewatched the video a few times now) or that I’m just this dense… but where does the blended Freon go? Is it coming out of the bottom of the gauge?
You want to catch it with something and dont want it to be dispense in the air. Or if you do dispense it dont tell E.P.A. but its coming out of the bottom of the gauge
Right now my account is blowing hot air so I'm gonna try your method tomorrow. Maybe I have a faulty gauge because it's not even hooked up and it's saying 81 psi on the screen. Ac pro 1234yf
I guess no one ever told you that you're not supposed to vent refrigerant into the atmosphere, huh? Bush league stuff, right here. I'm sure the EPA would like to talk to you.
I guess you didnt hear me in the video when I mention not to release it in the air huh? That little bit of refrigerant won't hurt the atmosphere. Its the ones out there dumping their entire system into the atmosphere.
I thought everybody knew you could disconnect the can from the hose and vent Freon to atmosphere! It’s common sense, you really needed someone to show you this?
I am 609 certified and I have other certifications as well relating to Automotive along with A.A.S Degree in Automotive and in Engineering as well Whats your email address and I can send you a screen shot of them
Do epa go after people when the system springs aleak and it still leaks out? If it was that bad seems they wouldn't want it to leak at all. Leaks happen no one can stop that.
I have a question. I have a cold line. It comes with the Ac pro, the outside temperature is 40 when I measure it, it is above 60 or 70 PSI, is it normal?
70 PSI is a high sfor low side but not dangerously high. Usually 50 psi is ok. If its not cooling like you its possible something wrong with the A/C system or expansion valve or a clogged evaporator
You forgot to put recirculated mode. Do I need to have the car on or can I do it with car off. I just want to empty the system so I can do a replace. The car ac is leaking anyway for long time. I need to replace compressor. I have the same gage wit hose bought it at Walmart.
@@VehVeloMedia Thank you for reply. But even if I want to remove the whole freon the car has to be running, or can I do it with the car off? the compressor have been leaking oil.
Bro. You did and said several things wrong, but you got to your point. Never leak freon into the atmosphere: $10k fine and there is video evidence. Next you should not remove freon from the suction side. Last, Freon does not pull water, it is just cold and oily: -40F.
What did he say wrong? He said you shouldn't just let it leak out the way he's doing it as he was doing it... The fact that he said the way he's doing it isn't proper procedure should be enough to know whatever side he's removing it from is irrelevant it's the improper procedure to begin with. Lastly he didn't say anything about water he never even said water, he said moisture and if you yourself said it's oily that implies moisture smart guy. So he did the legally wrong procedure but he said everything right about what he was doing
It will not be at the yellow if the ac on while u try to bleed the over charge. It will tell where the gauge at if u do not turn on the ac n bleed the over charge. I know that cause I just did it myself after I over charge it.
That's not working for me on my yukon. It shows that the pressure I shigh when I go to add refrigerant. Nothing happens when I attach the hose and pull the trigger
lol the amount of people thanking this guy blows my mind lmao Y’all he is teaching how to break the law it’s a epa violation to vent refrigerant Mind you that is a $10,000 fine lmao enjoy
No Im teaching people a DIY fix. I also stated in the video to not vent freon in the air. I had a rag attached to the end of the port of the hose. But I thank you for watching because you watching this video and being a hater just added to my revenue. God Bless you brother
@cody who’s gonna snitch?? Nobody is gonna end up paying a fine doing this lmao. This is great for people without money to pay an HVAC Tech right now. I’m in a bind and I have a baby on the way and I bought a car with an overcharged ac system and I need to fix it to get the air working
OK Right, But it's OK to pollute the sky everyday 24/7/365 with fake clouds, fake atmosheres. complete whiteout/chemtrails...??? We live insano world. Fortunately Jesus is Coming Back Very Soon!!!
With all of your energy and concern, your efforts would be better spent calling your elected officials and voting them out of office for the damage they are doing to this country: 10M fake asylum seekers being placed ahead of American ppl what is a woman men can be women 40yr high inflation 3 wars; n. africa, ukraine, israel targeting parents at school board mtgs colluding w/big tech to censor Americans on covid and an election sexualizing children gender confusion men in women's restrooms men in women's sports dei on little kids high crime (up 8% in CA) bail reform defund the police 35T debt (40% of that from democrats/rinos in 3yrs) energy mandates vax mandates
This saved me too! I needed to add some refrigerant but I think the gauge is just a bit of a bum gauge, seems to stick a little so even though I was completely in the green zone, the A/C was blowing warm so I fixed it today by using this method and I had to fiddle with the gauge a bit by cycling the compressor a couple times but I finally got it at that sweet spot and now the A/C is blowing nice and cold!
Well, you need a gauge that has the thing you turn and point to the temperature that it is outside or you won’t be correctly filling to start with. I noticed my old gauge which I put an adapter on for the new cans has this and my new gauge did not. Otherwise, if you don’t use the actual temperature outside, it won’t be in the correct spot where you’re supposed to fill it to.
Oh, and also the compressor is supposed to be running when you’re checking it anyway, if the compressor is not running, you can’t feel it that way it has to run in water and take it in and for you to read the gauge correctly if it’s not cycling so you always have to wait for that before. Anyway they tell you that on the can if you read it.
Thats why I stated this in the video rag does help if disposed corectly. Your speaking to someone that has a certification in this. That little bit of freon won't hurt the atmosphere. Its the clowns out there thats dumping their whole entire system in the atmosphere. BUT! NO ONE has nothing to say about that do they? But thats a story for another day
I swear on everything I love I'm literally going to try this right now. The other day I did that and my air conditioning's been blowing out warm ever since. Been miserable the last few days. Hopefully it works how do you know if it's over filled or it's the compressor? Everything seems to be working fine it just seems to be blowing out warm air.
You will know of the compressor is bad if its not coming on or off cycling that freon or and your A/C adaptor gauge reading is in the red. Also make sure that no leafs or debris is clogging your condenser as well or your evaporator. Check your cooling fans as well if their not working that can cause warm air to blow out as well
@@VehVeloMedia I just want to thank you for putting this video out. It cost me a can of freon instead of hundreds of dollars it would have cost me for some mechanic to lie to me and tell me it was something else lol. It was so helpful! I really can't thank you enough
Wrapping a rag around the gauge will not prevent the refrigerant from entering in to the atmosphere and is illegal to do so. A shop will probably charge you a few bucks to do this safely.

my gage stay’s at 150 it moves only a little bit then goes right back, do you think its the compressor?
Is your compressor cycling off and on?
Should ac be on when doing this ?
Yes
If ac is over charged will it cause ac clutch to not engage?
Yes to protect it
I replaced the AC relay clutch seems to be working ok. Hopefully that was it.
Your compressor will go out eventually due to running it overcharged . Get a set a gauges and follow the fill chart based off ambient temperature / humidity .

Sometimes it only blows at one side or the other or maybe you lost your defroster etc. on the control panel inside the car. So yes I kept running the diagnostic and it did clear all the codes. I’m still having a problem but it eliminated the problem of it not blowing out on the floor. If you have a Lincoln town car mine is a 2006. People see the filter is behind the glove compartment on some videos and this is not true. If you open your hood it’s on the passenger side under the hood at the bottom of the window on the left side you have to pop the grade off and I did this and some idiot had taken out the filter there wasn’t even a filter on it. Of course there’s filters outside here if you use the circulation which is using the already cool air to circulate instead of outside air air conditioner is going to work better and not harder and you won’t get outside air coming in your car. Anyway, there’s a few helpful hints. I still got a problem so I gotta keep going.
Bro, you did not put the cloth over that guage which mean you let that freon into the atmosphere, which is highly illegal.
🤫
We have bigger issues to worry about. Biden has our border wide open. Good video
Yeh and it used to be illegal to be high 😂😂😮
Thanks for your help. My car's AC was under charged, - then accidentally overcharged. Now I know what I have to do to lower the charge a little. Thanks again 🙂
Remember, God loves you! 🙂
That's so important!....
Thanks God loves you too and thats very important
So simple and super helpful! I thought I ruined my AC by overcharging it even though it looked undercharged while I was in the process of filling it. If you have a 2009-2013 Carolla, it seems to be more accurate to base your PSI measurements off of the first 30ish seconds after you turn on the AC and the compressor kicks on. When the AC has been running for a while it seems to make the PSI reading drop lower than what is actually accurate for recharging purposes.
Same!! I thought I screwed it all up and started panicking. Such a no brainer hooking it up without the bottle and draining it.
Where did you plug it to bleed it?
The (L) low pressure a/c port. You’ll see one with an H and one with an L. If you you the same connector that you’d add Freon, it should only fit the low connector
I am immensely grateful for the informative video you made about fixing an overcharged AC in a car. Your clear instructions and practical guidance saved me a great deal of time and money. Thanks to your expertise, I was able to resolve the issue with ease. Your generosity in sharing your knowledge is truly commendable, and I cannot thank you enough for making such a helpful resource available to the online community. Your video has been a lifesaver, and I am incredibly thankful for your efforts!
No problem glad this video helped.
My gauge off the can goes 25 low to 55 in the red when compressor kicks-in
Just make sure nobody sees u doing this it’s illegal to to release ac freon like that but you gotta do what u gotta do sometimes and it’s real bad for u to inhale this stuff so if ur doing try not to breath at all
Whew good thing you caught all the freon in the towel so it didn't get in the atmosphere
Man you saved my behind. Thank you!!
Who tf cares if its illegal its a quick fix that yes you should do it at your own risk
Motormouth
Thank you God Bless
Thanks! I went from panic with an inoperable A/C to cool runnings in moments with your help.
😂 same. Thank goodness for this vid.
What happens if you bleed it all the way to low and re add freon
As long as its in the green when you re add freon you should be good
Do I need to have the car on or can I do it with car off. I just want to empty the system so I can do a replace. The car ac is leaking anyway for long time. I need to replace compressor. I have the same gage wit hose bought it at Walmart.
Car has to be on
so i purged and refilled my system for my 2015 ford mustang, bought used. system way overcharged and i refilled it to 40-50psi and my ac is still blowing hot.
what can be the issue to fix now
Is your condenser clogged? A/C clutch engaging? Any leaks?
When I hook the gauge up to my AC shows that it's overcharged. With The AC on full blast, I hooked up a similar gauge and it was at like 70 PSI, So I began to bleed the pressure like you are doing in this video but all kinds of green refrigerant started spraying out every time I pulled the trigger and for some reason the psi pressure was not going down very much. Should i have done this with The car running in the AC in the off position instead? I noticed in your video it's just air being released You don't see any yellowish green refrigerant spraying up when pulling the trigger on the tool
That yellow/greenish stuff that came out when you was bleeding the system is dye. Thats used to detect a leak in the lines of the A/C. Yes you want the car running and the A/C running as well
When you confirm overcharging leave a car overnight & on cold engine drain the one or two psi becouse the filler valve on low pressure its on the highes point & all air in the system will be on that point when is stayng overnight so you will drain the air out. Afther you start the car & comlete the process like you show in this video.
Are you stating a fact in the first sentence Im confused when you said leave the car on overnight and on cold
@@VehVeloMedia Maybe he means that leaving car overnight allows air to form at top of AC Low pressure valve. So when discharging with cold car, the air or R134a gas will leave while oils lubricating system will stay.
I don’t give a single fuck if it’s illegal. It’s 98 degrees outside and jiffy lube was asking for 200$ to do what you just did 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 Thats major facts
Sorry if I missed it (rewatched the video a few times now) or that I’m just this dense… but where does the blended Freon go? Is it coming out of the bottom of the gauge?
You want to catch it with something and dont want it to be dispense in the air. Or if you do dispense it dont tell E.P.A. but its coming out of the bottom of the gauge
We used to suck Freon out of air conditioning units on the top of school buildings to get high
Right now my account is blowing hot air so I'm gonna try your method tomorrow. Maybe I have a faulty gauge because it's not even hooked up and it's saying 81 psi on the screen. Ac pro 1234yf
I hope everything works out for you
Fuck I'm blind 😂
🤣🤣
🤣🤣
I guess no one ever told you that you're not supposed to vent refrigerant into the atmosphere, huh? Bush league stuff, right here.
I'm sure the EPA would like to talk to you.
I guess you didnt hear me in the video when I mention not to release it in the air huh?
That little bit of refrigerant won't hurt the atmosphere. Its the ones out there dumping their entire system into the atmosphere.
I wonder if this would work with charging a new ac compressor. Instead of hooking up vacuum line just hook up a nozzle from a used can.
Its a strong possibility
I just bought a Cadillac Escalade my clutch won’t kick inn , and my gauges in in the red would this help my situation?
Possibly it can. If not that means its a more serious situation going on with the HVAC
I thought everybody knew you could disconnect the can from the hose and vent Freon to atmosphere!
It’s common sense, you really needed someone to show you this?
Apparently.
Anyone in here actually 609 certified? Jesus Christ….
I am 609 certified and I have other certifications as well relating to Automotive along with A.A.S Degree in Automotive and in Engineering as well Whats your email address and I can send you a screen shot of them
EPA wants to know your location
Tell EPA that Im in my undergroud bunker.
Do epa go after people when the system springs aleak and it still leaks out? If it was that bad seems they wouldn't want it to leak at all. Leaks happen no one can stop that.
Epa needs to go after the Elites & their jumbo jets.
@@jshan8205right, leaks are one thing. Purposely leaking is another
It's alright he got it in the rag and took it to his underground bunker!
Thank you bro. U clutched it 🤙🏾
So if it’s in the red zone? I just keep adding refrigerant when it says not to? And it’ll just go to green??
No if its in the red to release refrigerant not add
Hey man! What product were you using to uncharge it? I have a ac pro can but i don’t think it’ll let me uncharge
I was using a cheap refrigerant lines from a cheaper bottle I was using
Dude, you just saved me a lot of money. Thanks, it works.
Glad this video helped
Could just stick the tip of your knife in there and get it all over you instead of in the atmosphere, which is illegal lol.
Lol sounds like a plan
Worth a subscribe men. Thank you for this video
Glad this video helped
I have a question. I have a cold line. It comes with the Ac pro, the outside temperature is 40 when I measure it, it is above 60 or 70 PSI, is it normal?
70 PSI is a high sfor low side but not dangerously high. Usually 50 psi is ok. If its not cooling like you its possible something wrong with the A/C system or expansion valve or a clogged evaporator
You forgot to put recirculated mode. Do I need to have the car on or can I do it with car off. I just want to empty the system so I can do a replace. The car ac is leaking anyway for long time. I need to replace compressor. I have the same gage wit hose bought it at Walmart.
I did forget and car has to be on
@@VehVeloMedia Thank you for reply. But even if I want to remove the whole freon the car has to be running, or can I do it with the car off? the compressor have been leaking oil.
Bro. You did and said several things wrong, but you got to your point.
Never leak freon into the atmosphere: $10k fine and there is video evidence. Next you should not remove freon from the suction side. Last, Freon does not pull water, it is just cold and oily: -40F.
What did he say wrong? He said you shouldn't just let it leak out the way he's doing it as he was doing it... The fact that he said the way he's doing it isn't proper procedure should be enough to know whatever side he's removing it from is irrelevant it's the improper procedure to begin with. Lastly he didn't say anything about water he never even said water, he said moisture and if you yourself said it's oily that implies moisture smart guy. So he did the legally wrong procedure but he said everything right about what he was doing
It will not be at the yellow if the ac on while u try to bleed the over charge. It will tell where the gauge at if u do not turn on the ac n bleed the over charge. I know that cause I just did it myself after I over charge it.
So do you check your level with the ac off and engine cool or with it on and engine running?
What of the pressure was fine for months and suddenly it's showing overcharged on the low side?
Possibly a clogged condenser
Where do I place the rag? On the low end pressure port or the around the guage?
Around the guage
That's not working for me on my yukon. It shows that the pressure I shigh when I go to add refrigerant. Nothing happens when I attach the hose and pull the trigger
Is your A/C compressor cycling on and off by any chance while you was doing this?
I tried this and the gage pointer was fluctuating both up and down while car was on and running top speed for the ac any ideas?
Sounds like your A/C compressor was cycling off and on. Did the A/C get cold afterwards or was it unsuccessful?
lol the amount of people thanking this guy blows my mind lmao
Y’all he is teaching how to break the law it’s a epa violation to vent refrigerant
Mind you that is a $10,000 fine lmao enjoy
No Im teaching people a DIY fix. I also stated in the video to not vent freon in the air. I had a rag attached to the end of the port of the hose. But I thank you for watching because you watching this video and being a hater just added to my revenue. God Bless you brother
@cody who’s gonna snitch?? Nobody is gonna end up paying a fine doing this lmao. This is great for people without money to pay an HVAC Tech right now. I’m in a bind and I have a baby on the way and I bought a car with an overcharged ac system and I need to fix it to get the air working
B*tch ass mfs like you the reason the world so fkd up
OK Right, But it's OK to pollute the sky everyday 24/7/365 with fake clouds, fake atmosheres. complete whiteout/chemtrails...??? We live insano world. Fortunately Jesus is Coming Back Very Soon!!!

I had a question. Does this also work for a 21 Toyota Camry?
Yes sir
It works..👍 you saved my life.😁
I did the same thing to my ford explorer and smoke started coming out and now it says service engine
Are you serious?
Dam right homie 💯👍
What if it’s in red when car is off but when you turn the car on and ac is on it’s in green
Then your A/C should be good to go
Do you gargle the freon before or after you get it in your hheyess?
Yeo
Mine a little bit overcharge
Hey bro i put 1 12ounce can of gas and my low side is all the way at 50 and low is 150 not cooling much
Is your cooling fans working I assume that your A/C compressor is working too
This saved me too! I needed to add some refrigerant but I think the gauge is just a bit of a bum gauge, seems to stick a little so even though I was completely in the green zone, the A/C was blowing warm so I fixed it today by using this method and I had to fiddle with the gauge a bit by cycling the compressor a couple times but I finally got it at that sweet spot and now the A/C is blowing nice and cold!
Nice glad this video helped feel free to share it with others
Well, you need a gauge that has the thing you turn and point to the temperature that it is outside or you won’t be correctly filling to start with. I noticed my old gauge which I put an adapter on for the new cans has this and my new gauge did not. Otherwise, if you don’t use the actual temperature outside, it won’t be in the correct spot where you’re supposed to fill it to.
Oh, and also the compressor is supposed to be running when you’re checking it anyway, if the compressor is not running, you can’t feel it that way it has to run in water and take it in and for you to read the gauge correctly if it’s not cycling so you always have to wait for that before. Anyway they tell you that on the can if you read it.
What a hero you are!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣 so illegal thats like $10000 fine every time you do it
Man. Lol hey sometimes you have to do what you got to do to make it out here the struggle is real.
When you bleed is does wet Freon or green mist sopose to come out? Mine is just releasing hot hair
Thats normal
Where can I get one of those? Because my car is in the yellow as well. And what are they called
This was from a freon bottle that was previously used. I had disconnected it from the used freon bottle
Yeah thats illigal to release freon to the atmosphere, and the rag isnt going to due shit.
Thats why I stated this in the video rag does help if disposed corectly. Your speaking to someone that has a certification in this.
That little bit of freon won't hurt the atmosphere. Its the clowns out there thats dumping their whole entire system in the atmosphere. BUT! NO ONE has nothing to say about that do they? But thats a story for another day
Illegal to discharge into the air but it works
Yep thats why you use a rag or get you a bottle to catch it
The pressure keeps going back up everytime i try this
Thats from the A/C compressor cycling
What if it’s in the red and stays in the red no matter how much Freon I bleed
That mean there is a problem going on with your A/C system or your A/C compressor not working
Thank U. My tech o’filled my a/c & billed $150 knowing I’d be back & then get me for a compressor
Exelente.my friend..
And that's a federal violation to vent into the open air
Thank you for your legal prospective Mr E.P.A Fed Enjoy the rest of your day sir God Bless
I swear on everything I love I'm literally going to try this right now. The other day I did that and my air conditioning's been blowing out warm ever since. Been miserable the last few days. Hopefully it works how do you know if it's over filled or it's the compressor? Everything seems to be working fine it just seems to be blowing out warm air.
You will know of the compressor is bad if its not coming on or off cycling that freon or and your A/C adaptor gauge reading is in the red. Also make sure that no leafs or debris is clogging your condenser as well or your evaporator. Check your cooling fans as well if their not working that can cause warm air to blow out as well
@@VehVeloMedia I just want to thank you for putting this video out. It cost me a can of freon instead of hundreds of dollars it would have cost me for some mechanic to lie to me and tell me it was something else lol. It was so helpful! I really can't thank you enough
@@ChubbTrain No prob glad this video helped share this video to others if you could to help them out as well
Fixed my problem in my car in under 2 minutes thanks!
No prob enjoy your A/C
Of course this is not the right way to to it but it works for poor folks like me 🤣
By any means necessary 🤣 Thats why I did it too because Im poor the struggle is real gotta find a way to survive 🤣
Wrapping a rag around the gauge will not prevent the refrigerant from entering in to the atmosphere and is illegal to do so. A shop will probably charge you a few bucks to do this safely.
Liked shared and subscribed. It is hot as the f word out here and I overfilled. Was going crazy confused untill I saw your video. Thank you!! Now is ice ice in this b
Good stuff glad this video helped!
