I read this post:

About recharging your R-134 in your air conditioning system and it says to attach the recharge kit to your low pressure A/C line.

How do I find the low pressure line? I am a bit of a newbie. I think I've found the compressor. It appears to be behind the enging below the air intake (?I think it is the air intake...it is where the big hose coming from the air filter leads to). Is that right? I have a 4 cylinder zetec.

Thanks for your help!

Low pressure valve is near the battery.

Do not turn the can upside down.

Put the can in warm/hot water to help the gas flow into the system.

Thanks so much....that video is a huge help! I love this website!

I'm thinking about doing this with one of the kits from Walmart, my A/C takes a little longer to get cold then it prolly should. Anyone know how much they cost?

i think that the can with the hose and gage built in is like $20 or so


if you wanted Autozone now sells a gage set so you can check high and low side pressures as well as add coolant, runs about $40 iirc
