My last compressor went on me after charging with R134A. so I was just wondering if that was the problem then. Thank. I got the broke compressor if any one is looking for one. __________________ 230K plus miles baby!!! | | | 05-19-2008, 03:29 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Long Beach area Posts: 1,189 | Since we're on topic...

Look to the right of the battery on the firewall and you should see the recharge nipple, it should have a black or blue cap mine is black. Start the engine, turn ac to max and follow the directions on the can. I only know how to do it but have no clue on how to properly explain. hopefully some one can reiterate better. __________________ 230K plus miles baby!!! | | | 05-19-2008, 06:17 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 | i think you can by the recharges at the auto store. its in a can right? theres a lil kit for it. has the little hose, 1 can, and something that connects to the valve nipple. its said to be 10% colder. im gonna give it a go since its getting REALLY HOT here in SoCal, and its fairly cheap. __________________ -Theta Chi- Float like a cadilac, sting like a BIMMER .... my socket is just too thick and won't fit in the hole! damnit!
