What if ac is empty....do i need vccum
If my lines busted and I replaced everything from the hoses to the compressor to the condesor, would I have to hook up a vaccum to it before recharging ?
@@treysworld9638 yes, any time the system is open to air it needs to be vacuumed 👍
@JonnyDIY thank you for responding bro. I've been looking for this info for 3 days and you can't ask Google questions like that apparently 🙃
@@treysworld9638 you're welcome, happy to help 👍
You might want to pull the vacuum for awhile longer. There maybe dissolved or retained moisture (or freon) in the system usually tied up in the oil, it takes awhile to out-gas. When you are pumping down an elevated temperature helps speedup the out gassing (park it in the sun) Just a note -a slight lose of vacuum indicated on your gauges maybe do to the out gassing.

Thanks for sharing that helpful information Cliff. Will give it a try next time 👍
The best part of your channel is your positive attitude. Love it!
Thank you! It's not always easy, but I try to stay positive 🤙🏼
Covered almost everything in a very fast time, great job!
Thanks, Glad it was helpful! 👍🏻
Just want to send a quick "thank you!” for mentioning the AutoZone loaner tools. I used a slightly different fill method than you show (using a can tap connected to the yellow gauge hose rather than than the " can topper " thing) but I was about ready to just deal with having a shop do this because I didn't want to shell out the cash for the (hopefully) one-use tools 👍
You're welcome. Glad I could help you get it recharged 👍
wow! learned a lot. Thank you 👍😁
DO NOT DO THIS... the A/C stop leak will work once at home. But if you bring it to a proper garage and they detect the stop leak they will need to DISMANTLE AND CLEAN the entire system and all their components . You'd be looking at a bill of $1000 or more.
@@sniper5454 So what do you suggest to do, instead of using stop leak?
Thanks brother 🙏 I think I fixed so far is working perfect Thanks to your video I'm able to fix it
Awesome, glad I was able to help you get it working 👍
Yeah My leak was inside the ac compressor gasket this was the only choice or I need to remove everything thanks again
@@dav24x you're welcome
So after this video how long did it last?
Did the freon leak again?
It lasted a couple years and worked perfectly. I ended up finding the main leak was just a gasket on ac pressure sensor 👍
I read elsewhere thay we could just leave the high off completely or not connect anything at all
When refilling high doesnt need to be on 👍
Wow, you are the only video out of dozens that shows if the compressor is not spinning in the beginning it COULD kick in once the pressure is high enough. question for you, I purchased a 2012 vehicle in the winter, now in the summer, i realized the ac is not blowing cool air, checked and see that the compressor clutch is not spinning so I added a can of recharge and could simultaneously hear hissing below the compressor. Is this something that stop leak could fix or should I replace the compressor? thanks
sounds like a large leak coming from compressor. You could inject leak dye to make sure its the compressor, but most likely it is. Unless you see a green leak trace on any of the hoses coming off compressor or near it
What did you find out about the leak?
Hey Johnny does the vacuum pump remove the extra refrigerant in the system?
Yes if there is any bit left in system it will evacuate it out 👍
Does the air-conditioning In the car have to be empty before you seal it? I am assuming you use the sealer before you recharge it?
It works better when the system is completely empty and vacuumed out but I have used the sealant on systems half or partly charged. Just don't use too much and make sure you run the air conditioning for a while after you put it in because those sealants have been known to clog up certain parts on the inside of the system ruining entire systems.
Thank you for your video, could you please explain to me why not take out the gas before applying the sealer? how and what damages provoke in the A/C system. I think I screw up the AC system.
Vacuuming out all the refrigerant makes sure to get all the moisture out of system so the stop leak will attack the right spots and not clog things up
@@JonnyDIY Thank you.
@@Esteban_Narvaez_MD You're welcome, happy to help 👍
@@JonnyDIY I highly appreciate the fact that you replied to me because a lot of RUclipsrs just ignore people's comments, I appreciate your time and everything you do. Thank you.
Would this work for a pin hole leak on my ac evaporator? Thanks!
It's worth a try for sure. If it's a slow leak that takes a while for your refrigerant to all leak out 👍
Why didn't you use the manifold gauges to recharge?
I didn't have an AC can tap
Can i put the AC Pro Stop Leak if i still have freon in the AC system?
Appreciate your input.
Yes you can, it's best to do this way as I showed, but will work either way as long as your leak isn't huge👍
@@JonnyDIYMeaning if i have lets say half charge of freon that is still in the system, I dont have to use or empty that whole can of stop leak yes?
Thanks broo! Appreciate it! 🙏
@@mikeeibe8195 yes you can do that. You dont have to use whole can either. Try a little bit at first hopefully works 👍
@@JonnyDIY Thanks Man! Appreciate your help! 🫡🙏
@@mikeeibe8195 you're welcome, happy to help 👍
Why subtract the 3 from THAT can?
Because it has refrigerant in it as well so that gets counted in the total refrigerant to add into system 👍
@@JonnyDIY I'm thinking adding it 🤦🏻♂️ like add the total amount of cans to amount to the total necessary, same thing?
@@carbievelez8352 yes same thing. Add the 3oz from stop leak can into total refrigerant amount you add in 👍 so for example car takes 20oz you'd put 17oz refrigerant and the 3oz can of stop leak in
@@JonnyDIY PERFECT, will let u know how it goes. First gotta find a pump to empty the freon
Loved this video you did a great job. So, I have a leak behind the dash (evaporator guessing). It is going to cost me way to much to pull the entire dash ($1300) Old Chevy Prism (Corolla) car has no book value.... Anyway, the system has been open for about a year. So, I am sure the oil is all out of it. How would you add oil is it necessary if the system is open but components have never been changed. I definitely want to try some stop leak just to see if I can get it working for a little bit.
Ohh wow awesome a Prizm. My gf had a 93 lsi Prizm that almost got 50 mpg! You really shouldnt have to add oil, just find and fix the source of leak and you'll be good. If worried I think they sell cans of refrigerant with oil added or even little cans of oil that you just put in low side port when recharging 👍
@@JonnyDIY I love this car....it is a 2001 LSI and has 170k on it. Other then the AC it runs phenomenal it looks great. I can't get rid of it. Thank you for your reply ... Subscribing now. Love what you are doing.
@@Glenn_123 yeah they're great lil cars. Thank you for subscribing, & I'm glad to help 👍
I'm am assuming one of those cans had oil charge in it because it not your ac probably doesn't still work after vacuuming it maybe I'm wrong but just thought of that
I don't think the stop leak has oil, usually don't have to worry about adding oil unless you're changing components or if the system has been open for a long time
What do you mean by all the way down there?
Not sure what you're referring to? Maybe when I was talking about vacuuming system? 🤔 sorry been a long time since made this one
is this convenient for R22 or for R410
is it work for minor leackage of R134
Yes this will work for small or minor leaks 👍
@@JonnyDIY thank u for urkind consideration
brother how i can purchase this &whatis theprice
I got at local auto parts store or even Walmart. Was only $10 I think
Honestly i dont have all those tools u have … plus this my first time doing this
You can get them on loan from auto parts store, just have to put down a refundable deposit 👍
But you didn't tell us if the leak stopped? what was it like a month later for instance?
It definitely slowed the leak in my case, but I found out where it was leaking from was an O ring on pressure switch
Waooo, 5 latas ?
Si, mucha
@@JonnyDIY why?
@@falomore different cars take different amounts. Some 2 cans some 5. Depending how large system is
Like I said. He is a hack. Lol
