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.
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 easy to follow, explained so comprehensively.Thank you .
Best tutorial on how to refill AC. Watched 3 vids previously but nothing came close to the level of detail here. Thanks a lot. Will try your wisdom in doing mine. Have a blessed day
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!

@@proclaimliberty2000 PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO KNOW WHEN TO STOP ADDING REFRIGERANT WHAT SHOULD THE GAUGE READ OR WHAT LINES OR NUMBERS IS IT BETWEEN OR WHAT IDK NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE PLEASE HELP FAST VERY HOT 110° HERE . THANK YOU

I also have to replace my multifunction switch. Idk how to do that either been driving with no wiper blades in pouring rain n lost my glasses. Im a mess.
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.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share with us this video, it is very easy to understand to follow instructions.
This the best instructional video I've watched dealing with recharging an auto AC. Thanks.
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!
You expalin the process thoroughly and make it easy to follow. God bless you.
👍😊
@@proclaimliberty2000 There is zero evdience for any god, I know reality is tough.
@@tex4668 Psalms 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
The best tutorial on A?C recharging method seen in you tube until now!
Thanks for the clear explanation even 5 years later!
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.
That's what the temp arrow on that gauge is suppose to be for. 😳
@@hotrodray6802 That is a pressure gauge, it doesn't read ambient temperature.
@@da324he gague simply has a movable dial you point at the ambient temp on the small scale then where the arrow is. Is how far you fill to within the green on pressure gague. When it's hotter outside you fill higher into the green basically
@@da324, idiot, we know what. That's where a chart and a brain start to work.
I have never seen a cleaner garage than yours. Inspirational! Thanks for the video.
Clean engine too
I bet he knows wer ever wrench he's got is
Very clear - I learnt a lot.
Many thanks......all the way from London !
Hi Paul all the way from London (good name LOL!). You're welcome! I'm really glad it helped you.
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.
Great video, very simple and well explained. Best one I came across
👍😊
the only video on tube that doesn't forget to purge the line. all others inject moisture and air into AC. TU !!!
Not so.I watched another one last week and it did as well.
This is the Best Video to watch with all the use-full information and details..... Thank You very much !!!
the best and most informative!!! Answered all my questions. Thank you
You're great at demonstrating! Thanks so much.
Great detail explained in a simplified manner!
Thank You. Very detailed. I feel confident I can do this correctly now!
I'm glad you corrected you mistake of the can upside down
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.
thanks- I might try that- haven't been able to get the compressor or the clutch to come on at all- just the red reading when I put the 134a hose on
I agree 👍🏾
Always vacuum the system to evaporate water and get new suction accumulator dryer and oil when replacing a compressor-flush the system.
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.
Good to know especially by a woman like me who doesn't really know much about cars and easily get ripped off by repair places! Thank you.
My kit is different, but the way you explained everything, I should be ok, thank you so much for making this video. 👍🏻😎 it works great!
👍😊
Many thanks for your lucid explanation
Good explanation. Refrigerant to match your auto. Purge the line first. What to do if overfill. All good information for me, a beginner. Here’s to good luck!
😊

Great video. Really did help me. Best part was releasing the pressure. A++++++
Freon can cause blindness. Please wear goggles when adding freon!
Appreciate your experience and insight. Thank you very much! 👍
I always learn something from watching your videos. I usually forget something over time and it's like a refresher course. Thank you for explaining step by step how to do it. It saves me a lot of money. God bless you too.
👍😊
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
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?
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 TH-cam of how to use the ac pro gauge.
Well spoken , well received , thanks for the video.
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
this was very helpful. THANKS
billy oldham 👍😊
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!
the info was great. will be doing the as instructed by your video soon, thank you
Thanks bud, you're a really good teacher.
Dominique Hebert 👍😊
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.
@@GeraldWalling Only in a crash!
@@dporrasxtremeLS3 I'll give you that one.👍
@@GeraldWalling❤
I’m so glad to find this video, you explain very good
Great detailed video. I learned a lot. Thank you 😊
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.
The needle peirces the rubber can seal when you screw it down.
However when you unscrew it, the needle pulls back out and the can re seals.
Screw it down to fill.
Unscrew it to stop.
There no rubber seal in the can . It a metal aluminum that the needle punctures thru to open the can . Unscrew it to let the R134A to fill Screw down to close the hole

I never had any luck by just adding freon..I always use a recycling machine..Run a vacuum on the system..and inject 8 to 10 ounces of compressor oil and then recharge the system..
Really great video, I learnt a lot, Nedd to fix leak, I 'll go to find leak sealent first.
It's really good for a man too have everything down Pat
thanks for your lessons.
Thank you very much for the detailed information.I will be doing my 07 Camry tomorrow.
Mr super T 👍
KISS - "Keep it simple, stupid" applies here to the best advantage of viewers. Thanks for that, buddy. Easy peazy.
Well Done! Thank You!
Thank you! Many good points.
One of the better demonstrations on here.
Thanks I did watch a few videos in how to do it but this is the best, very good explanation of everything.
👍😊
👍
The Schrader valve cores leak ALOT of the time. The kits to replace these are pretty cheap and easy to do. These are the biggest offenders for leaks in automotive AC systems in my experience.
Try a little dish soap at the fittings to find leaks.
Thanks for the video. I will be using it to recharge the wife's car this weekend. Hopefully this is all that is wrong. It would be a blessing to not have to spend hundreds or even thousands to get it working again. We are in Southwest Louisiana and buddy it is HOT and HUMID here. Thanks again!
Ben Fontenot make sure you tilt the can of refrigerant back and forth slowly from 12 o’clock to 3 o’clock when adding the refrigerant.
Usually if you have a leak, it is only the small seal at the compressor. Usually a green or red seal. Easy fix.
How much is the low side pressure and the high side if the refrigerant is already fall? Must be vacuum first before putting refrigerant.
Thank You! That helped a lot.
Great explanation!
use a vacuum pump, that is the correct way. it doesn't purge it removes all air and moisture out of the entire system into 29 inches of mercury vacuum. then weigh in the correct charge with a set of scales per manufacturer weight chart.
Very understanding good demonstration.
Very good video,. Thanks. GodBless you
I learned a lot. Thanks.
Thank you for the very informative video.....
I'm like my friend, you explain step by step end slowly.
Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU BROTHA!
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.
Thank you, great video.
very informative and detailed , thank you
Thanks very good information 🙏👍
thanks alot for this , me and my son mite try this after we buy pressure gauge hose, because already have refrigerant
on ss fixed income i can not afford to pay a mechanic 150 an hr and tell me takes 2 hours to do it, thx again and GOD BLESS and take care, keep on PROCLAIMING LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES !
Very informated video!!
Awesome video paul 😎✌️🥶
Well done! Good video
👍😊
Thank you!
Sure needed to know that!! Thank you 😅
Used to recharge A/Cs by pressure. Now use a machine to recharge by weight of gas. Will never go back to the old method. Get it done properly it is worth the extra bucks.
THIS VÍDEO IS PERFECT FOR ME ...👌 THANK YOU .
You Good nobody explain like u
THANKS VERY WELL DONE BW
Should I first use leak sealant and then charge it with refrigerant or vice versa?
Thanks brother..!!👍😇
Wholesome guy 🙂thank you so much 👍
Normal low side pressure is 30 to 38 psi at about 78F while the compressor is running.
On a cool day the pressure will be lower. At 100 F the pressure on the low side will be 35 to 45 psi.
If it's 60 degrees outside 25 psi might be ok.
Absolutely helpful
THANKS !!!
Make sure if you bleed the system in this manner, (Regardless of legality) DO NOT HAVE YOUR HANDS ANYWHERE NEAR THE EXITING GAS! IT IS EXTREMELY COLD AND WILL BURN YOU TO THE POINT OF REQUIRING MEDICAL ATTENTION! USE MECHANICS GLOVES when working with refrigerant.
Good job , thankyou for your experience , thank for good clip ……..
nhuthom You’re very welcome!
For a Honda Jazz.Is it the same system..Thanks Sir
I put 28oz R12 in my car's a/c which factory spec says 34oz max.... runs great Nice and cold
If it leaks after the sealer, it could be hoses, Condenser & Compressor. Then put vacuum on it or UV Dye. Probably use Vacuum then sealer, then vacuum to check. Don't use Freon to Check System
You the man. Thanks.
Greatly appreciated, BTW, how can you keep your engine sooo cleeaann! :-)
I live on dirt roads so I occasionally power wash it very carefully and apply Armor All cleaner.
Good video thanks. You need to adjust those values brah.
Also a huge problem for me living in Europe. Last year, '22, I’ve virtually given up trying to get that refrigerant for my old Toyota. Can’t even get it through Amazon although it’s still freely available for sale in the States. I do not want to have the extra expensive complication of having to change to the latest gas☹️
Just put in 134, it will work ok.
@@hotrodray6802 Sorry Ray, struggling to get the 134. Got two cans in the US at my sons house because the US only exports to Canada. My son now can’t post them because they are pressurized containers. Ahrgggggggg😤😩
Excellent!!!
Would you need to set the temperature?
!Great video!
Excellent you are the man.
