I read your post. I didn't say I was going to dump R134a into my system. I said I wanted someone who knows more to tell if I can/should. It sounds like I really need a shop to look at it if I want it fixed...

Well I only had half a can (or less) so now I'm out. I don't think enough got in there to make a difference. Either that or the leak is so bad the charge is not staying. That's why I was hoping someone could tell me whether I should be buying 2+ cans and dump it in or it's already overcharged and my problem is elsewhere...






read my post again, you can not just dump R-134a into the system if the system is over charged it needs to be emptied and it is illegal to vent to the atmoshpere, if the pressure was so low that the system didn't turn on you have a leak, the system needs to be taken to a vacuum either way and then filled correctly
