sorry for the thread jack..
what does recharging your a/c mean?

 

[hassoun]

no problem man. Kasey, over time AC refrigerant leaks, loses its chemicals leading the AC not to push cold air anymore. if thats the case first verify that your compressor is working. then check refrigerant and recharge ( refill) if needed.

got it!!
I'll keep that in mind next time I need to troubleshoot my A/C

make sure the compressor worked? i put the a/c on full and it goes just not very kool even, does this mean it works?

and kasey ill post pics of me doing it tomorrow

if some cold air come out then your compressor is working. pop your hood, turn your ac on all the way and look behind the radiator fan ( where the belts are) your ac compressor should have its own belt. shine a light on it and make sure its spinning. i assume it is because your getting some cold air. but i would double check either way. mine stopped pushing cold air once. i popped the hood and noticed the belt was gone somewhere on the highway haha.

hmm ya i will check that first that would be sweeter than refilling

so ya checked my ac with the tester thing the pressure was high and colour good so i figured compressor must be bad then figure out that when my ac shows on its off so i just put at 15c and auto and the cold air flowed, going to get my money for the kit back
