A/C PRO: Does It Really Work? [REVIEW]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2016
- ** TEMPORARY FIX***** lasted about a few months, as there was obviously a leak in the system somewhere.
Ironically during this hot and humid week, my A/C decided to crap out and the cold air is gone! Today, we will see if A/C PRO will do its job to get my A/C back to cold.

For you people wondering about these mystical leaks,A/C systems have rubber and metal hoses that connect the whole system together,at the end of every hose there is a "fitting" and inside these fittings are O rings, 90% of the time they will be green and or a few other colors,these o rings are designed to work under great pressure and have to be compatible with oil and Freon, over the years and mileage these o rings will start to deteriorate and you have a little leak in your hands,over time your Freon escapes and then you get that nasty "I'm hot" feeling, ever had a garden hose leaking while connected to a sprinkler etc and you tell your significant other "hey when your out, stop by the hardware store and get me one of those black o rings for my garden hose" ? same principle applies here.
Think about this,you have a hose going to your condenser and it connects to your evaporator,then the evaporator connects to your dryer assembly then from the dryer assembly you have another hose that connects to the A/C Compressor,then a hose from the compressor back to the condenser ,(might not be exactly in this order but they all connect together, trust me)
Each one of these hoses has anywhere from one to 3 o rings inside the fitting so for all you non car people out there when you hear the word "leak" and the mechanic is taking about your A/C system this is what he means and it will make it a lot easier for you to understand,now in severe cases you could have a puncture inside your evaporator (this normally sits inside your dash and a major pita to replace) or in your condenser or a gasket or oring in your compressor could be leaking but 90% of the time one of your o rings on your hoses is failing somewhere in the A/C system highway, some of these hoses have valves on them and they can leak also, guess what they have in them? yep more o rings,lol
To remedy this, your mechanic will run a dye thru the systems and where it leaks he will use a special light that makes the dye glow so he can find the leak and replace whatever o rings might be leaking, every car make is different and as fast as technology is increasing some of these things Ive said might be also slightly different but in a nutshell this is how it all works for the most part on cars, i know for someone that doesn't work on cars sometimes things and terms your mechanic throws around can be overwhelming, hope this helps.
very great info, thanks for sharing!
dntlss u talk to much but thanks😁😁😁😁😁😁😁✌👏👏👏👏✌👏✌✌😁👏👏
I worked at one place they changed them for 1 lb of test Freon.Its a big money maker in a garage when you pull out their freon and add a little but you change them for whatever the system holds like 4.5lbs but you got 1.5lb of their freon
They said my evaporator was leaking and it was a 10hr job and will cost me 2 grand lol
I took a class in Automotive AC systems. Your comment makes perfect sense to me.
Yes! Agitate the bottle vigorously (10 seconds) before attaching the charging hose to break the seal. The charging hose fitting will ONLY fit the small AC charging port with 'L' cap, if it fits, your are home. On the dial, rotate the dial's red line 'V' to center on the shown dial's air temp numbers. --- Good vid, Continue to rotate the bottle while charging from 12 to 9 o-clock till achieved desired dial setting. Thanks for the demo. 080318.
Thanks a lot for the nice video. A/C bugged out on us a few weeks ago. Avoided an expensive repair, picked up the A/C Pro and the air conditioning is good to go for a weekend up North. Nice video and very easy to follow. Take Care, Tony
thanks Tony, appreciate the kind words and glad this worked for you, be sure to subscribe for more content!
It works
But yes to those watching, I've used this product too on my siblings vehicles and still blows super cold out here in Texas. Good vid btw!
Thanks for Watching!
It works if you follow the instructions which you didn't do in any way shap or form also new cans don't have dial to turn
I got my 99 Camry almost 7 years ago. First summer I had my mechanic take care of the refrigerant for the AC. After several years and seeing that these days is very humid and hot in the north east coast, I went to the AutoZone nearby my place. I used the whole bottle and thank God it made just up to the green zone. I drove today and it blows really cool air so it's nice for this time of the year. I hope this ac issue doesn't come back at least until next summer.
nice! glad to see it worked for you, definitely a temporary fix so my fingers crossed for you it works to next year! thanks for watching
I just used it to charge the AC in my 2004 Toyota Landcrusier; worked like a charm! Air is a chilly 58 at the vent. 🧣😁
Thanks for the info. Worked fo me too!
I did just what you said and showed and it worked.. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!
I just did my 2006 Toyota Corolla. It was blowing cool on one side and warm on the drivers' side, and AC/Pro fixed the problem for me 😎😎
Helpful video. How long did the "recharge" last, after you initially posted this video on August 5, 2016? Might be helpful to add a little update line to your video description.
good idea! Thanks, the charge lasted a few months, as it was juts a temporary fix, being a leak in the system. Thanks for stopping by and the input!
I've been useing AC Pro in my 2000 F150 every summer for the past 5 years.
I have watched several on this product and SHAKING it IS very important before using
yes, agreed!
I just filled my 08 Acura RL and it's blowing super cold. Super easy to use. Read the instructions and follow them. It does not fix leaks. I've done research and I still haven't found a product that fixes AC leaks. You gotta replace O rings or parts in order to make that happen.
I just used it to fix my mom's car a few hours ago. It worked on her 2007 Dodge nitro. She wasn't getting cold air in. I put the AC pro in. It read the mark it was low. I added and AC air stared working.
In your case if the lines are leaking the freon what you gotta do is check your compressor for oil too. If your compressor is very low on oil which I'm sure it leaked it all when the ac leaked so the ac won't blow very cold. It doesn't matter how much you fill it up it won't blow ice cold air because you need to have enough oil in compressor too.
I bought the full sythetec one dame like a freezer in my car now
Fixed mine. Runs perfect now.
Thanks, works great.
So does refrigerant leak out rapidly, or can you get weeks or months of cold air?
Your gauge is showing redzone which indicates the full pressure reading. Don't waste the refill if your pressure is full. You can remove the gauge before tapping the new canister in. Simply use the guage to read the pressure first as inspection. If the meter is reading as white or low pressure, follow his step to refill the gas. You car indicates the problem is not coming from refilling the gas.
thanks for that tip
What goes first, the sealant than the refrigerant?
A/C Pro is amazing!
I don’t know what am I doing wrong but I can’t seem to be able to connect the gauge to the port. It doesn’t click like it’s supposed to. I have a Honda Civic. Any tips? Thanks!
Can you recommend any best ice cold refrigerant???
I have a 1995 Ford E-150 Conversion 5.0L V8 with "dual" air conditioner (2 fan switches on the dash). The A/C was working just fine about 3/4 years since the last professional recharge. It is not not blowing cold any longer. I very tempted to try the A/C Pro. Will it require more than on can and if it does do I need to spend another ~$30 or can I use $5.00 can of 134a and will the gauge/hose will attach to ANY can ?
I do not have the red V shape temp thing
Great video thanx bud
Glad it helped!
I used this product on my 2009 Sonata. It had zero AC before and now it blows very cold and works like brand new.
I have a 05 sonata, and I'm gonna be using this for the first time. Glad to hear it worked for you
My car ac is just cool air if I use this would it make it colder?
Most car ACs do leak a little around the front seal
Yeah my ac system has an leak on the line and the plastic gear on the driver side motor is wore out so I have a little weeked project for me there.
Little weekend project, Let me know how you make out with the driver side motor
Hell yeah it works!!
This is $32.99 at WalMart. I have used the Walmart hose brand for $19.99 and it worked - twice. I bought this because I was wondering it is could seal something
It's really easy to decide where to connect the hose to your AC ports cuz it'll only fit on one they are different sizes.
Gee thanks for repeating the easiest thing to understand.
Used this product today , and over charged . released pressure to correct setting .
Thanks it’s very good information thanks 🙏🙏
no problem, thank you, be sure to subscribe for more content!
Damn good product, easy,fast, inexpensive. I am an ac pro user from now on!!!!
John Laurus it worked for my vehicle, I only used 1/3 of the can at most.
This product is excellent but the one with digital reading it is extremely expensive, always check your pressure without can attached my pressure was a 💯 way to high I bled it to 30 pounds then the can sucked it in immediately took ,cold as you can get very happy
How do you bleed it
I used it today...and yes it does work.
This does work for small leaks and renews dry gaskets.
Thank you! You're video actually showed how to take the "d'ham" tab off! No none else started with that.... Seriously.... WTF is wrong with people... You gotta be thorough when explaining something.
What I noticed he did not shake the can before starting the re-charge I also shook the can during the 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions 2 happy customers both women and we all know what that means 😊
My AC has been dead for 3 years. The compressor would not spin with the belt. Ithought when the compressor doesnt spin then it is dead. My brother used ACPro on his car and his compressor wouldnt spin either. I thought no chance it will work and then it did work. I tried it on my car and it wirked as well. Finally, I will no longer be melting in bumper to bumper traffic. I probably have a leak but if I only have to put a $50 can of AC Pro in every summer then thats way better than getting screwed out of 1k+ from a mechanic.
American Ride hey man you could keep the gauge from the ac pro and then just just buy the 15$ one ☝️
This works my car blows super cold to The point where I had to cut it off.
that's awesome glad it worked for you! it may only be a temporary fix however, thanks for watching!
Charger system, fluctuating between top of white and top of green section blowing hot air, followed the instructions to a t and I do refrigeration for a living. Im gonna have to say this stuff is hit or miss. Im not stoked spending 50 for hot air
I just want to add another comment to the refrigerant leaks if you've ever wondered why your refrigerator in your house doesn't require you to add freon frequently as your car it's because your house refrigerant system in your refrigerator is called a non-porous system which means all your lines are copper there solid they have no way of leaking unless you get a crack in the line your car automotive systems are designed as a porous system because your engine moves in your engine mounts things have to flex that's why you have rubber hoses After Time Freon will leak through the rubber because rubber is not a solid form like copper just in case you all wanted to know it's perfectly normal after five six years that you may need a little bit of freon
Never added to my 2003 350Z
@timothy Nixon Ahhh OK! Thanks for explaining the difference 👍!!!
Used this stuff in an old 96 GEO Tracker that's a hadn't worked in 4 years. It blew cold air for 2 years but now is getting a little weak, so I'm going to recharge it again. .
that's awesome that it provided you 2 years of cold air! different results for everyone, depending on leak and other possible issues. Thanks for the input and stopping by!
I had a 95 Geo Tracker and I gave up on the AC lol, never even TRIED to get that thing working
hahaha thanks for watching!
your'e destroying the ozone layer. Fix your piece of shit Geo
the ozone layer can suck it.
Yes it's a very quick fix but it does more damage than good, you have to understand unless you evacuate the system you're only putting more PSI on the high side pressure lines and now you're introducing more oil and more leak detector and sealer into the system. Just because you have a leak and you put this stuff in doesn't mean that it's doing any real good but it's doing a whole lot more in damage
How it do now
Wondering if you have a leak will the system leak constantly or only when its turned on?
believe when system is running. This is ONLY a temporary fix if you have a leak in your system. Thanks for Watching!
A leaky system will leak all the time. If the leak is on the low pressure side the leak rate will not vary with operation. If it is on the high pressure side (compressor - evaporator) it will leak much faster when the compressor is runnin as the .the pressure is 5X higher.
Has anyone tried the stop leak?
Maybe the outside dial helps, but without it, it’s 80-90 psi regardless.
Can you please purge the air from the hose before connecting it? I don't want air in my AC system.
Yes you can same probloms I had hooked guage to it hundred pounds, wouldn't take in anything,purge your ac without can attached then read guage, purged min to 30 then the whole can went in, freezing
So first you shake the can , put the end cap and attach it to the low port , then turn the car on and turn it on full blast then go to the AC pro and basically hold the trigger for 15 second intervals until it's in the green ?
yeah buddy!
You were supposed to turn the car on first before connecting the can if I remember the instructions right.
Ruh no, you start the car and put the ac on high first. Read the label.
Just charged mine yesterday. Works like new again
awesome! Glad it worked for you
I used it in my wife’s suv about 5 years ago; no leak and still cold.
You should be in one of their commercials. Thats amazing.
Had a leak at a fitting that I identified by the dye that was in the system. This was in an 02 Taurus with the DOHC Duratec engine. I noticed that after putting straight 134a refrigerant in and another brand of sealer, it only held up for about 3 months before it started to lose its ability to cool the way that it should.
I live in Florida where it's hot and humid for a good 8 months out of the year and of course requires the A/C. I didn't wait until the A/C completely lost all of its ability to cool so I didn't really need to put a vacuum on the system. If that was the case, I would have gone ahead and repaired the leak.
The system still had some pressure and 134a in it. I figured that I'd take a chance with the A/C PRO Coolant Recharge with Leak Sealer and Compressor Oil. It was a new product, so what the hell. I also bought the Recharge Hose & Gauge.
Its been over a year now and I've just now noticed that the cooling is a little off. I've decided to go and get another shot of A/C PRO's Sealer with Oil in it now since it's early June and the real heat is on its way. I was really impressed with the stuff on the first go round. It gave excellent results and I wanted to pass my experience on.
Wishing you good luck, I hope that it works as well for you as it did for me. Make sure to follow the instructions and you'll get good results if the system hasn't lost all of its 134a refrigerant. If that's happened you'll have to get the system hooked up to a vacuum pump. This will tell you how bad the leak is in the system and if you'll need to repair it.
thanks so much for the input. with my Mazda3 at this time it was just a temporary fix as I did have a leak within the system, last a couple months. addressed the issue, I no longer have this car. Thanks for Watching!
Yea, you're welcome, thanks for your reply to me. Wishing you a safe and fun summer in 2018.
anytime! Thank you, you too!
do you realize if you keep adding oil less room for r134 a
That's a great engine. I had that same car for a year or so but it's too generic looking for me. It was a fully loaded SEL except it didn't have traction control. It's a shame they never made one in a coupe.
I drive a 12 yr old Honda CRV that has been offering me mostly warm air, sometimes cool. Paid like $25 at WalMart two days ago. Literally took me like 2 min to look for a "how to" video on YT, then maybe 3 min to actually add the freon to my car. Poof. Cold air. Why have I suffered for 3 weeks when it was this simple? Here is to hoping it is cool today and isnt leaking.
A/C Pro is way OVERPRICED for what you get. And it doesn't work very well. Better to pick up Walmart's 134a. A 12 oz. can is $4.88 - works great.
Can u plz tell me if "R-134a" same as "r1234yf? I tried on Honda CRV 2018 but not able to connect the Gauge in the first place!!! I found under the hood "r1234yf" refrigerant" to use for Honda CRV 2018!
You cannot use 134a in any vehicle that does not take 134a. You will destroy the system. The hose wouldn't fit because that's to protect the dummies from danger
If you have a leak those are useless. But if you are just running low these work great. As long as you don't over fill.
My AC has been weak since before I owned the car. I realized it's completely crapped out this summer. I bought some of this (though it was $40 for me!) and emptied the whole bottle into the low pressure port of my '99 Pontiac Grand Prix GT's air conditioning system. I could hear the compressor kick in with the new freon as I was adding it and it was blowing noticeably colder. I almost think I could have used a bottle and half of one of the smaller ones but will let the sealer do its thing for now. I may have to add more later but for the price you can't go wrong, as long as your AC system is new enough to have used 134a from the factory. Check into this first as if you have an older car you might still have R12.
Glad it worked for you and thanks for the input!!
If it gets you thru each summer for $29 pop....your doing ok. My mechanic used to charge me over $200 to charge system.
That is until the compressor seizes up, or simply gets unable to pump, because clearances increased so much due to the reduced oil return and increased wear.
If I got a really hot room I'm trying to cool down can I just spray this in the air from the can?
@Okonomi Barron you could only imagine lol
@Okonomi Barron yeah would be pretty cool but the chemicals in it are toxic enough to possibly kill a human which sucks
Theres a one that will fix your leak and recharge your system. Also They just came out with a better ac pro. The Advanced Digital Gauge. Do research and do a video on that:).
Can anyone help me, 08 civic ex compressor and clutch are running, pressure is good, plenty of AC liquid, only blows cold air when i press the gas pedal but when i stop it blows regular air not cold not hot but regular! Anyone know what can be causing the problem ?
Doctor Anime orifice tube
It works. I paid $54 at my local store.
I have a question, I have the one with the blue Ac pro , the temperature is 40c and above. When I measure it, it is above 60 or 70 PSI, is it normal?
Keep in mind that your automotive AC will only at best blow through the vent 30° lower than what the outside temperature is.
Looking at this video the arrow seems to be in the red, I've purchased this product and that indicates that the product shouldn't be used. Am I looking at this wrong
That could indicate that this won't "long" term fix the problem and that it could quickly "regenerate" refrigerant in your lines, but will need to have your leak in your system Addressed.
Thanks for Watching!
If it's still red after recharge, your compressor may need service
correct, thanks for watching!
Staggered Horizons no, that is not what the red zone means. It means you were overcharged, which will also result in warm air. The label and the company videos clearly say do not use if in the red.
This video is a disservice. You ignored the label warnings.
How Long did it Last thou O_o ?
Need get my Maxda3 leak fixed quick lol my driver window won't roll down either FML
Mazda3 leak, as in a cooling system leak? or something else?
my driver window every once in a while will not go up the first time I press the button, but once or twice after that it gets up haha
i just did this to my 97 Ford ranger. Before i did it i was blowing 84 degress F. After i did it i was reading minus16 degrees F. In my opinion, totally worth the 39 bucks. We'll see how it lasts.
awesome! glad to see it worked for you, be sure to subscribe for more content!
@leterbuck2001 More like around 40-50 degrees if it's about 90F outside. 16 below is colder than a freezer in your house.
How long did it last??
$25 BUCKS!!! I just paid $140.69 for the A/C PRO canister with the hose and gauge assembly from Amazon Canada.
Does this work on a 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage ES
it should! give it a try, however this isn't a permanent fix, there is most likely a leak in your system, especially if your 2017 car does not have cold AC, I would honestly bring it into the dealer, that shouldn't be already from a 2017
No, they only work on Mazda’s!
@@dsrtrcr77 They work on every vehicle that has 134a.
I used this in my 2007 Tacoma and it lasted 5 years before it leaked out again.
Sure seemed like you were ‘overcharging’ the system with that needle clearly in the RED! Any update on how long it lasted?
Bleed out your system then refill it
You forgot to shake the bottle up very well before you put it in above. That's maybe why it's still leaking. Or you didn't get your whole ac system checked by a Mechanic for any leaks first. Or you may have to put more in also. Just saying.
When you showed the gauge to the camera your gauge was in the red. I don’t think that means it’s empty...
I wondered about that as well. Wasn't sure if i was only one that noticed it.lol
I've used AC pro in my 2003 Taurus and I used Walmart brand for 4.88 a 12 ounce can. Honestly Walmart brand is colder.
interesting thanks for the input!
A/c pro is a synthetic blend, walmart brand is not
kennycybertron1 So a synthetic blend will not get colder than a non-synthetic?
1975 PONTIAC CATALINA 400-THM400 was your a c converted to the new fluid or Do you still have the old freon
Charles Case No it's stock 134A
If the manufacturer calls for, let's say, 1.62 lbs. and you are low on refrigerant, how much do you put in if there is still some left in the system? How do you know how much to put in?
Awesome video. Thanks so much.
get yourself into the Green on the dial :D
Thanks for Watching!
That's all I wanted to know.
Thank you so much.
no problem, be sure to subscribe for more content!
Lol ....@ 4:13 not as cold as an artic frost
haha thanks for watching!
E Robins 99% of us don't know what an "arctic frost" would feel like anyway
Fuckin right it works! Dealt with no AC in my 2007 silverado for 2 years(wasn't working when i got truck) the recent 90+ degree days finally made me crack today and try to do SOMETHING. I never bothered with it so didnt know if compressor or condensor was bad or if it was empty or what, no idea. I figured this was worth the $40 gamble. HELL YESS!! ICE COLD AC
For real
Is it still working now?
Is it compatible with R-12?
I don't believe so, you would have to convert your car's a/c system to R-134a to use this A/C Pro
thanks for watching!
I love AC Pro I have no leaks cause I rebuilt 99.9% of my ac from condenser been replaced main ac compressor hose all been replaced and ac compressor with a good remanufactor from Ebay from a reliable company
Which brand?
It’s $50 at Advance Autoparts, where did you get your for $25 ?
29 at walmart
GLADLY EVERY VIDEO I HAVE SEEN ON THIS HAS GIVEN ME GREAT HOPE FOR THIS GREAT PRODUCT BUT ALL HAVE BEEN WHEN "NO OR VERY LITTLE" COLD COMES OUT. I FEEL LIKE MY SYSTEM NEEDS A BIT OF A BOOST AS THE AIR DOESN'T SEEM AS COLD AS SHOULD BE. AN I DOING RIGHT BY ADDING SOME OF THIS??
I bought A/C PRO and there is NO DIAL TO TURN and NO LITTLE RED LINES??
that's weird...is it just a hose with no regulator?
Same🤷♂️
They have changed over to a different pressure gauge, and ditched the movable bezel with the red lines. Not sure if that was a good move, or a money saving move on their part.
Thanks Ed. They sure did! Nice of them to let us know! ;)
@James Brown a change or a hint at that on their video? Not too difficult. But then James couldn't be a smartass and some people, that's all they've got. 😘
How long to the AC last before it went warm again?
was a nice little quick fix, however, this didn't address the problem of having a leak in my system. It last a couple months. You either have run out of refrigerant or have a leak somewhere in the system. Thanks for Watching!
Staggered Horizons based on the chemical smell in the cab of my vehicle, it’s very certain it’s in the evaporator. Not looking forward to replacing it.
damn, sorry to hear Joshua, at least you found the problem though!
very true. my previous car no one could find the leak, despite all of the tests, dyes, etc. - had to eventually replace the car because it's hot/humid here in the summer. would have taken a leaky evap any day - much cheaper to replace than an entire car. going to try this product tomorrow though, because now the replacement car is blowing warm air. / =
Equipo
I thought you weren't supposed to tip the bottle!???
It work for me. Kia Sorento 2012
awesome! glad it worked!
Might want to shake the can a little bit ???
I did, Thanks haha
It worked flawlessly for me..
I bought this same product and blew it into my dash vents, nothing changed
😂😂😂😂😂
good thank
How long did it hold/keep the charge?
not too long, gave some cold air for a little bit, but inevitably had a leak.
Thanks for the reply 👍
IF THE NEEDLE PEGS OUT IN THE RED WHAT THEN ?
If your AC system is low or out of refrigerant the compressor clutch wont engage. The gauge needle will go into the red as soon as you let go of the trigger. Once there is enough refrigerant in your AC system, the compressor clutch should start kicking in. When the compressor kicks in, the gauge needle will drop, THAT'S where you want to take your reading. Once enough refrigerant is in your AC system, both your low and high gauge readings (compressor running and compressor not running) should be in the green.
its $50 now at oreilly
oh damn, thanks for the update!
AutoZone 52 with 15 scam rebate.
I was hoping you’ll drop that low pressure cap!,😂😂😂
Haha thanks for Watching!
I mean, if I only use AC 3 months out of the year, why not do a cheap fix every year.
Because, pollution aside, over time the AC compressor wears and wears and then either stops pumping or plain seizes... no way of knowing how much oil is inside and no way of knowing how much oil is actually flowing through the system (oil circulation rate dramatically decreases as the charge weight gets lower than spec)... you surely won't get a compressor to last years and years by treating it that way...
@@teravolt6113 Good point. But fuck it, its a 20 year old car, who knows when its gonna shit the bed either way.
P A yeah man. Just get the quick fix and be down with it. There’s folks that experienced the quick fix to last a couple years. It’s cheaper to spend $20 bucks every 6 months to a few years and not even miss that pocket change, instead of spending hundreds of dollars at once when you barely have the money in that moment
IMHO, if i didn't have the money to keep my AC operating in a safe condition, i would either permanently disable (unplug the clutch coil for example) or remove it. Who knows when the compressor is going to seize. For example, getting rear ended due to the engine turning off/suddenly decelerating isn't fun.
Forgot to turn Ac on full blast with compressor on 😂😂😂
