So refreshing to watch an instructional video that gets right to the point and has stable descriptive camera shots. No extraneous chit-chat but plenty of good info. Great job. Thanks!!
You just saved me a couple hundred dollars. I'd never have thought to do this, but for the $50, it was worth the risk. Old car, 2007 Avalon, so not looking to fix the AC if there's a leak, but if it's slow enough, a can a year won't break the bank.
Mechanic said $190 for a recharge service, I said lets hold off on that. Saw your video and it looks simple enough! Hopefully I can do it and save some money. Thanks for the great video!
Jonny i am so glad your channel has blown up. You have done an EXCELLENT job of providing content that was helpful and interesting to a wide audience. Your very genuine & positive personality also helped!!! Lastly you have always provided important precise information on whatever you were doing. Great job young man!!!
Johnny D, loved the video! Especially the leap into the video in the beginning! Lol. And the hand in the car too lol. Great video and will save me time, money, and from heat exhaustion! Thanks a million!
Bought the Sub-Zero brand at AutoZone while waiting on brake pads. However, the connector is too small for a 2020 Toyota Corolla LE. Unfortunately, I didn't find this out until after the can was pierced. Make sure that the connector will fit the Low input on the line prior to buying.
Thanks so much for the helpful video! I haven't had to add refrigerant to any vehicle since the late 80s. Back then I was driving a Lincoln Town Car doing limo service out of the airports in Chicago. The owner of the car told me to buy the refrigerant, told me where to hook it up, and then told me to add the product till my Bs freeze up. I guess they were less scientific back then.
@JonnyDIY yeah, red with the engine on, fan on high, ac all the way cold and on full blast. 🫤 The air compressor seems to be running correctly. I did just get the radiator and drive belt replaced (2009 camry)...is there any crazy chance the auto shop forgot to reattach something?
@@scribblerex look at the ac compressor and make sure the front clutch it kicking and turning on (it will kick on and then shut off). If refrigerant too low or empty it wont kick on at all. Possibly they could have forgot to plug wires back in or had to open AC system and leaked out all refrigerant. If it was working fine before and now not after Id say its possible
Hi Jonny, I spent an hour trying to fit the valve into my Camry '19 but it did not fit at all. I came back to Autozone asking for help and the guy litterally tried all the valves that they have in the store. None of then fit in! What's goin on?😢
You just leave it in can with nozzle hose off. It should have self sealing top. Unless you're somewhere you had to put a money deposit on can, and if almost empty may as well turn in.
AC broke on my 2015 Sienna. I wondered if it’s the relay or fuse but I went to Mechanic, he checked refrigerant and there was none left in the system. He filled in some everything come out, hey we have a leak in the pipe leading to the passenger blowers in the back rows. So they blocked the back row cooling and refilled the refrigerant. So, it all works now but we get cool air just in the front, cost me nearly $400. (Replacing the whole pipe maybe cost me$1500) but that’s the trade off
Thanks so much for this video and amazon links and for answering comments like you to! Is there any danger of the can exploding or anything when doing this? LOL. Sorry just wanted to see if there are any hazards one has to be careful of when doing this or should it be a fairly safe process? thanks! By the way I have a 2001 toyota camry, so hopefully this will work....
It all really depends how bad your leak is. If not too bad, should get you through the hot months of the year at least. If tiny leak, could last years before needing another charge 👍
I have a 2006 lincoln ls.. it’s seems to blow cold for abt 3 weeks. Should I just keep charging it? I’m told I’ll have to pull the engine dang near since it’s a V8 n that ain’t happening. Thx for you future advice
I would just keep topping off during every couple weeks when it starts getting a lil warm. Do that during the hottest part of summer to get you by. Can put in leak dye to try and pinpoint leak, may be somewhere easy to fix. But if it's at the compressor and it's in hard location that'll cost a bit in labor for a shop. I'm not familiar in compressor placement on that vehicle
I just used the same type and it's not blowing cold it's just blowing cool. Does it take awhile ? I've been driving it for like 30 minutes. I had it vacuumed and everything.
Sorry just saw this. No it should be immediate. Possible didn't add enough? Add only the amound listed on sticker on underside of hood. If adding more doesn't help it may be a component failing
hey my ac just stopped blowing cold air i ran it for maybe 10 minutes max without it working cause i didnt know why it stopped. do you think i need to vaccume out the system now? what should i do? thanks
@@JonnyDIY no i never recharged it yet. it just basically stopped blowing cold air yesterday but i left it running for 10 more minutes and kept messing with the switches in the car while i was driving. then i watched your video and you said if you run it empty you will have to vaccume out the system. so i was wondering if i screwed myself and now if i have to vaccume the system or should i be able to recharge it still the way you did in this video? Thanks
@@AdamH-n3l no you'll be ok to recharge it. I meant if all the refrigerant completely leaks out of system or if you work on it and open the lines up, then you would need to vacuum before recharging. I would try recharging and hopefully it'll get it cool again 🤞 good luck 👍
This is really late and the dumbest question, and I’m not a car guy but when I insert the clamp, the needle goes directly to the red, is that an issue (I’m assuming it is) but I just don’t know if I should turn the car on and then see if it’s still in the red
@@JonnyDIYawesome thank you! Was able to get it going and I have cold air now, when I pumped however, the gauge didn’t budge anymore after a certain amount, is that also normal?
JonnDIY just saved you over $150 bucks! A professional AC recharge cost ranges from $150 - $300 on average depending on the make and model of your vehicle. Due to refrigerant losses that occur over time, this service is one that should be added to your vehicle maintenance schedule. It is recommended that this service be performed on a vehicle every 100,000 miles or so.
I used the same product on 2010 Corolla which seemed to have zero pressure. I kept adding but pressure doesn’t go over 20 psi. I wonder if I should keep pumping and complete the whole bottle? The AC did blow cold air after filling a bit. If there’s a leak - should be hearing any hissing noise?
If you check the sticker on underside of hood it'll tell you the max refrigerant if system was completely empty. I usually like to vacuum system first if I know it was empty. If it's cool enough, I'd wait and see how long it lasts. Then you'll know if its a really bad leak or not. If it holds a long time, I would probably vacuum system out next time you refill 👍
I have a 96 corrolla.. I can hear and feel the compressor kick on pretty much right away. I have no cool air. I was told by local mechanic it is 325.00 to fix it. He told me without even checking its the compressor. I didn't go back.
No true way to tell, unless you vacuum system and refill. But if you add slowly til it's just cold you shouldn't have to worry about overcharging 👍 I have some videos on Vacuuming Ac too
Yea just spent 20 minutes trying to put the cap on the low side and it wouldnt connect. Not sure what I did wrong but I guess I have to take it somewhere anyways 😢
I am still scared to do this but I am sick and tired of feeling like I am in hell every time I commute. I don't wanna be lied to and get ripped off if I go to a mechanic. Its frustrating. I am scared to over fill my ac and screw it up and also scared of going blind and getting frostbite but I don't wanna spend more money to get gloves and eyewear protection. I got a corolla 2014.
@@TheShyArmyTV I've used before without problems, but I did vacuum system first. I show in this video th-cam.com/video/6xbnUd649Es/w-d-xo.htmlsi=awvzA0J7c7G3tO9Q
Don't do this. Here's why: 1. You don't know all the pressures. 2. These kits don't have all the gauges 3. These kits contain moisture which destroys components with corrosion 4. When this forces you to replace expensive parts, you won't be happy. You won't be "saving money."

@@JonnyDIY So how do you know how much weight is required or installed? I didn't see any info on that. Or how much pressure is in the system since the gauge doesn't tell you that.
@@JonnyDIY ok. Is there a reason you don't use the set of manifold gauges with the multiple hoses? I didn't see them in this video, but maybe you normally use them?
@@adamr8628 I use them in some of my other videos, this video I just wanted to show this method as it's easier for your average person to understand how to do
Expert tech for 32 years. Thats a great way to destroy your cars compressor. You have zero idea how much freon your installing. Good thing is it brings more work into my shop after the disaster happens LOL
Yes as you know the best way is to vaccum 1st and refill with exact amount of refrigerant called for. I've done it both ways for years, no problems with this. But you're right it can easily go bad if you mess up 👍
@@JonnyDIYWithout gauges how do you know the amount? These kits don't tell you the important pressure that you need to know. They can also contain moisture and destroy components.
Let me ask you a ' stupid question '. To eliminate the possibilty at introducing ANY amount of air into the system,i.e. the hose, would it be wise to hold back on the collar partially where you connect to the LOW SIDE and very quickly press the LEVER on the can thereby eliminating the air once the freon comes out(wear gloves), and THEN letting GO of the collar immediately, so it is allowed to FULLY snap closed?

Why doesn't anyone bleed the air from the hose/gauge before adding the refrigerant? We all know air is bad for the system.
You can yes. It's such a minimal amount, but in practice it's a good idea 👍

Yes as you know the best way is to vaccum 1st and refill with exact amount of refrigerant called for. I've done it both ways for years, no problems with this. But you're right it can easily go bad if you mess up 👍
@@JonnyDIYWithout gauges how do you know the amount? These kits don't tell you the important pressure that you need to know. They can also contain moisture and destroy components.
Ac vacuum
Yes you can vacuum system if you'd like beforehand. I have a couple videos showing how to do that 👍
"Properly recharge" huh? Ha!
bla bla bla
Let me ask you a ' stupid question '. To eliminate the possibilty at introducing ANY amount of air into the system,i.e. the hose, would it be wise to hold back on the collar partially where you connect to the LOW SIDE and very quickly press the LEVER on the can thereby eliminating the air once the freon comes out(wear gloves), and THEN letting GO of the collar immediately, so it is allowed to FULLY snap closed?
Not a stupid question. Yes, you can do that beforehand. It's called purging the line 👍
