Single mom with a HOT van here! I was concerned about figuring out the proper way to charge my ac and now I have NO concerns. Headed out the door to give it a go now! Thanks so much!!
@@lovehemp4953 Are you sure? Why don't you find out more about recharging? He just added air in the system. He never purged or bleeded the hose from air
My AC has been blowing out hot air. I got my inspection sticker this month and asked the mechanic at the shop; how much they would charge to fix my AC?...dude said $250...I said I would call my husband to make sure, my husband said, "hell no!!". We saw this video, hubby fixed 3 cars within 15 min! Mine, his, and his coworker that was helping him with some renovations that was at our house...he had also gone to a mechanic and they were asking for $220! You saved us so much time and money! You're the best! Especially with these hot days, my kids are thankful for it too! 💖
$250?? What a rip off! My mechanic only charged me $40 but I'm gonna tell my son to try this on his car. His car needs A/C really bad. I'm so thankful for these videos! 👍🏼
Great video! They quoted me would cost $1900 to fix my chevy equinox ac, I spent 37$ and fixed it in 5 minutes!!!!! with ac can of freon with hose gauge! Thanks Johnny
Just wanted to say thanks...our 2009 Nissan Marano had nothing but hot air blowing. Wife wanted to drop it off at dealer. I read where it could be one of four things; Fuse, Clutch, Compressor or lack of refrigerant. I decided to look up something and found this video...plain, simplified, straight to point and easy.....BINGO...it was completely out, took a whole can but worked...Thanks...
I don't understand the downvotes? Something's obviously wrong with you. Maybe you couldn't follow his instructions to the instructions to recharge the AC in your mama's car, which is probably a 1975 Toyota Corolla. This guy's video is awesome. He gets right to the point, shows you what you need to do and ends the video. This this isn't one of those videos where the guy or gal making the video has to talk for an hour about how their ice cream melted on the way home from Walmart because their AC wasn't up to snuff and how the kids got upset later and the other parent in the household freaked out. Straight to the point. You can't beat that! Thank you for the video. SUBSCRIBED!
I had never heard of this before until my son mentioned it. Your video was most helpful. Brief, great tips throughout and to the point. Thank you so much!! My only suggestion is for others, if you buy a product different from what is used in this video, be sure to read those instructions as well as watch this video. I used the links provided to order the appropriate material, however, ended up purchasing a different brand of product because I didn't see the one used in the video. It worked great!!
Thank you for sharing this video. One important thing to consider before buying your ac recharge is to check the location of your "L" cap ( mine was very difficult to reach) The hose wasn't long enough to press the handle and read the gauge easily. You really made it so easy that I could believe I could do it myself as well and I did it. Thanks again 🙏
This video fixed my problem. I thought I was going to have to take my car to a mechanic and spend a lot of money yet again. However, after watching your video, I went to my nearest auto store and bought the product you used, and it completely fixed the problem. I couldn't believe how easy it was!
Great job with the video, short & simple for anyone to follow along! I got a question; I’ve read that the air within the hose that comes along with refrigerant can contains oxygen and water vapor that can damage the ac system. With professional installations where a vacuum pump is used to drain the system of any moisture this concern is non existent. Can you maybe explain whether that little air present within the hose is capable of causing damage and maybe provide an update on the car featured in this video? Thank you in advance and sorry about the excessively long question lol.
No worries about that tiny bit of air in the hose. This car's AC still works great. Have done this same process with no negative effects on many cars. Just be sure not to overfill as I mentioned and youll be fine. I also have a video on vacuuming system before. That way you can add back exact amount for car. Just use a scale 👍 Vacuuming video- ruclips.net/video/hkjZNDyxvgo/видео.html Vacuuming with AC stop leak & refill refrigerant- ruclips.net/video/6xbnUd649Es/видео.html
Thank ya, Thank ya, bro. You have been a very big help. Haven't seen anyone do as good as a job you did explain steep by steep instructions on how to. Well Done Bro. Keep up the GOOD work.
The way these mechanics be scamming. These types of videos make you grateful and appreciative. I knew about this but couldn't remember which cap had to be removed if it was the high or low and this hit it right on the head.
I heard refridge coolant called R1234YF is very expensive not sure what 2017 camry uses but shops are charging as much as 600$ to recharge system if its the R1234YF coolant.
Great Stuff! Well done. I have 1/3 bottle left over of AC pro just bought from Walmart. Should I take valve off and store it for future use? Will it auto seal assuming I have a self sealing puncture valve connector?
Thank you, glad to help. Yes it should have an auto sealing valve on can. Yes you should save it unless you live in a state where you can turn it in for a refund of your deposit.
I was trying to do this earlier before watching videos, and when I put it on, it gave me a pressure reading, but I just couldn't figure out how to get it to go in (Mine has a lock on the top instead of a trigger) When I went back to it, it wouldn't give me a pressure reading at all. Any idea why this is?
Make sure taking pressure readings with engine running and AC on. I'm thinking the nozzle may not be on all the way, try taking on off couple times. And if your hose has a screw down top you need to turn it clockwise to drive it down and open can
@@JonnyDIY thanks for the reply! Turns out my fiddling around earlier had gotten the pressure to be very low and the gauge wasn't reading right, but once I started putting some in, it fixed it self and it feels great now
If it needs it. Probably won't need whole large can if still somewhat cooling, but maybe full small can. Refill slowly til cold, then stop. Can always add lil more later
Did you get that recharge unit at walmart. They had 1 there that was on clearance I said what the hell I'm sure it'll go in 1 of our vehicles and It looks just like that
Now, how can you tell the compressor is functioning without a gauge on the high side. Oh and if you want to add refrigerant, make sure it does not have sealant with it. Most sealants can clog your dryer and or your condenser. Just go to a reputable shop. If you are needing to add refrigerant, you've a leak somwhere.
@JonnyDIY Nope, pressure switch , bad coil in the compressor, thermistor can all cause the clutch to cycle... If you need to add refrigerant you've a leak somewhere. Adding refrigerant is a temp resolution.. Refrigerant doesn't just disappear...
Where I live in California you can return to store you bought. They actually make you put a money deposit to encourage people to return them. But I imagine you can take to any local county hazardous waste facility if you dont have a program. Local auto parts stores should be able to guide you in right direction as well 👍
@@lostmoose9994 Not often if ever. It's a sealed system, but as cars get older and the seals begin to slowly leak you may need to do once every 5 years or if gets worse Ive had to top up systems once a year in Summer 👍
Not sure, every vehicle will be different. They all have different refrigerant capacities and will be at different levels depending how much has leaked out 👍
Make sure car is running with AC on. And a lot of times the nozzle on the hose isnt on right. Take off and on couple times. Needs to be locked on well 👍
Make sure to pull back tab on nozzle while you press it on. Hold the line with one hand and press with other is how I do it when it's being stubborn 👍 Sometimes you can snap it on without even messing with tab too
No not really. Unfortunately the only true way to do it is to evacuate entire system and put back in the exact amount of listed refrigerant on the car's hood 👍

@@animal9470 nice save some money. They're not scammers. The job they'll do is a little more to it than this and more time. Vacuum and collect old refrigerant and then test system and refill.
Follow directions on the can! This doesn't show/tell that the vehicle should be in the shade, with all doors open and the vehicle started before beginning recharge. These are directions right on the can.
I’m another female repairing my auto a/c. This guy is awesome and straight to the point! The other videos left me with questions…this guy didn’t. I subscribed! Thanks!
Got a "QUOTE" from a few local repair shops to simply add refrigerant. 1st place wanted over $275 with labor, 2nd place quoted me nearly $400! WTH?? No wonder Americans are broke. LOL You can't even live anymore when companies charge outrageous amounts of money so I'm going to try this for about $40. If it works, great! Worth a shot. Thanks!
Shaking the can is to mix in the lubricating oil and the seal conditioners, important parts of the system, especially if you're losing charge slowly over time
Thank you for your video. When I finished I noticed quite a bit if water under my car. Would this be considered normal ? Also oddly enough the gauge would stay on the sand spot without rising

Yes thank you for not over talking and just getting to the point. You helped me a lot your awesome 😎
It's insane they change 250 for this!! They want 100 just to drop a big battery in! It's nothing. Did it myself.
My A/C hasn't worked for like the past 2 years and I thought it was something expensive or something, so I never got it checked... turns out thi was all I needed.... mind you i live in Phoenix, AZ summer averages 110 every day..... Godblesss this video lol
Awesome, happy I could help you get it going again 🥶👍
I was about to spend $180 at the mechanic today but I said to myself that makes no sense.. let me hop on RUclips and see these car guys do it and holy fuck.. I'm bout to head up to Canadian tire and spend my $65
Glad I could help you save some money 👍 good luck
Same here, mechanic said 175 for me. Scammers
@@animal9470 nice save some money. They're not scammers. The job they'll do is a little more to it than this and more time. Vacuum and collect old refrigerant and then test system and refill.
Follow directions on the can!
This doesn't show/tell that the vehicle should be in the shade, with all doors open and the vehicle started before beginning recharge. These are directions right on the can.
I’m another female repairing my auto a/c. This guy is awesome and straight to the point! The other videos left me with questions…this guy didn’t. I subscribed! Thanks!
Happy I could help and thank you for your kind words 👍
Got a "QUOTE" from a few local repair shops to simply add refrigerant. 1st place wanted over $275 with labor, 2nd place quoted me nearly $400! WTH?? No wonder Americans are broke. LOL You can't even live anymore when companies charge outrageous amounts of money so I'm going to try this for about $40. If it works, great! Worth a shot. Thanks!
@@Trekopolis You're welcome, glad to help. Good luck hope it fixes it 🤞👍
Thank you soooo much! I did this two weeks ago by putting this video on repeat and it worked perfectly. :)
Awesome, you're welcome. Glad I was able to help you out 👍
Good stuff man. I got some 12 oz cans at Ollie's for 4.79$ each. I'm stocked. Thanks.
You're welcome, glad to help. Hope you get it working nice and cool 👍
@@JonnyDIY Thanks I just did.
@jack bauer It's a chain kinda like Big Lots.
Thanks for making it so easy and understandable. You're appreciated
You're welcome, glad I could help you out 👍
Nice, pleasant, happy and down-to-Earth presentation. Thank you for taking the time to create and upload for us,.
You're very welcome 👍 And thank you for your kind words 🙂🙌
Quick question: Before I add the refrigerant, the reading is already in the red. Should I relieve some pressure and add it back? Thanks!
Make sure you check pressure reading with car on and AC on and blowing. It shouldn't be overcharged unless someone overfilled it
@@JonnyDIY of
@@fbetay3447 did you figure this out? I had the same issue
Thanks for not telling your life’s story before getting to the point. great video.
You're welcome, glad I could help 👍
Shaking the can is to mix in the lubricating oil and the seal conditioners, important parts of the system, especially if you're losing charge slowly over time
Thank you so much for your knowledge and expertise! It was so easy to do, and saved a trip to the local mechanic. Big savings there 😎
You're welcome, glad I could help you get it fixed 👍
This was very informative 👏🏿helpful thanks right and exact 💯 I got cool a/c 😎

Simple and effective. Right to the point. I have subscribed.
Thanks! Glad to help! 👍
Thank you for your video. When I finished I noticed quite a bit if water under my car. Would this be considered normal ? Also oddly enough the gauge would stay on the sand spot without rising
You're welcome. Did the air temperature get colder from vents? Yes A/C produces condensation so that's normal. It drains under car 👍
@@JonnyDIY Yes it got cold, and awesome thank you !! I wanted to make sure I didn’t overdo it but it was on the green overall.
