Bought your kit yesterday. Held can in upside down position but got some coolant in. Will try again in upright position if pressure doesn’t get too high.
not a professional, but means that the system is at full capacity which probably means it is not a leak. Basically you don't need to add anything once in the green area, otherwise you overcharge your system
I bought this for a 2012 ram. There is a orange tab that it says to twist to activate. After twisting and hooking up, I was losing pressure. Took awhile to figure out, but I unscrewed everything and took the tab completely off then it worked
Make sure you're on the right port (low side and not high side). It will only fit on the low side port. If you're on the low side and it still doesn't attach, make sure your vehicle uses R-134a. Each gas has a unique port size so it will only work with R-134a systems.
@@Acprocold I think I might have the wrong one (2016 Honda civic, which uses r1234?). Is there an adapter that I can get to convert it to r1234? I can’t return it because I already used half for my other car which was r134. I want to use the other half which is r1234

I am wondering if some air in the blue hose gets into the AC system when charging refrigerant? I guess there would be some small amount, but I am not sure if it is acceptable.
The ports in all vehicles are standard and our coupler of course meets that standard. If it doesn't connect it's because of one of a few reasons - you're trying to connect it to the high side port and not the low side port. The port locator on our website can help you find the low side. We also have videos on our channel with that info. You also may not have the right type of refrigerant. Many newer vehicles use R-1234yf, which has a different size low side port. You need to buy a product with the same refrigerant found in your vehicle.
My A/C is not blowing cold enough when it’s hot out. But when I put the gauge on it showed it on the low side of filled. Would it be ok to add a bit more keeping it in the filled range? Could that help the A/C temp?
You just need to be careful with adding too much refrigerant. ADding more refrigerant doesn't necessarily make it colder after a certain point. If you're in the low end of the pressure range that could just be how your system is tuned. If cold air is blowing out you should be good without adding more.
You need to buy one of our kits designed for hybrids as they may have an electric compressor. Our A/C Pro Extreme recharge kits work and so does this www.acprocold.com/product/acp-200d-ultra-synthetic-recharge-kit-with-digital-gauge-20oz/
If the pressure in your system is in the yellow when you first attached the gauge (before adding refrigerant), and you've following the steps properly (engine is on, A/C is on, compressor is engaged when checking pressure) then you may have an issue beyond what this product can fix. A very high outside ambient temperature at the time could also push up the pressure, but probably not enough to be significant this time of year.
Your Honda Civic uses a new environmentally-friendly refrigerant called R-1234yf. It's a new gas used in many new vehicles and will eevntually replace R-134a. You can learn more about it here ruclips.net/video/CsrtqKdmlOo/видео.html
Unfortunately, you have no choice. The fittings are designed to be unique by law so you can't interchange the refrigerants. I know this is a tough one since R-1234yf is much more expensive.
Maybe your condenser radiator is in need of a change. That is if the condenser fan and electrics are also checked to be OK. Find an expert technician and I can't emphasize the keyword "Expert"... There are a lot of possers out there that are only interested in emptying your wallet, without any attempt to address your issue and it may cost you significantly if you get hocked by them. Tip to find the expert: Try to figure out where do the regular mechanic in your area sends the cars with AC problems that they can't solve themselves. You may not find an honorable mechanic to tell you that on the first attempt, so look well and do your homework without getting trapped into a suction system!!! Best of luck and stay cool! if you can...

Hi Starting Tech! Typically an A/C system is relative to the outside ambient temperature. For example on a 70 degree day your A/C system may get to 50 degrees, but on a 90 degree day it may only get to 70 degrees. If you still feel like the A/C is not working to its potential, then please call our support desk at 888-318-5454. They will be able to troubleshoot any problems with you!
2005 toy highlander. Low point is against the pass. Firewall. Hose is very short and a pain to connect but I got it. My daughters AC works fine now.
It worked on my Acura MDX 2008.
I suggest you to follow instructions step by step
I tried it once and I thought the green meant it was good 🙂and returned. I gonna try again. Thanks
green really is a dumb color for them to use to mean low.
Bought your kit yesterday. Held can in upside down position but got some coolant in. Will try again in upright position if pressure doesn’t get too high.
The bottle much of changed because the gauge is different, great video, thank you!
why does the gauge read red or yellow - what does that mean exactly?
not a professional, but means that the system is at full capacity which probably means it is not a leak. Basically you don't need to add anything once in the green area, otherwise you overcharge your system
Worked good on my 2008 camry
Im gonna try it 🤞 thanks so much for this video

The coupler simply will not attach, and yes good thing I was wearing glasses and gloves!

Thank you so much! My AC is cold again, and it didn't cost me much. I'm stoked!
Great to hear!
How does this product take car of the fact that the ac system is not in a vacuum state?
I am wondering if some air in the blue hose gets into the AC system when charging refrigerant? I guess there would be some small amount, but I am not sure if it is acceptable.
No need to worry about air in the hose.
Bought this just a moment ago and the quick connect didnt fit, now im just hot and pissed

That hose is way too short. What a bad design.
We have a 24" hose on our A/C Pro charging kits. www.acprocold.com/products/
@@Acprocold That is nice but why is the hose on this particular product so short? No way I can keep the can upright with this design.
I have a 2016 Honda civic. Why can’t I connect it like at 0:55? It just won’t stay on or click into place. If I tug on it, it comes straight off

Will this product also stop leaks ?
Yes, it does have a stop leak.
@AC PRO just used it the other day and it worked great 👍
It worked! 👏🏼 Thanks for the video
Glad it helped!
I did all and also fix a leak still not working what I can do now
Milton - unfortunately, you might have an issue other than low refrigerant. We recommend you have a professional technician look at your vehicle.

I did it exactly like this left in the filled range but not all the way and I'm still getting normal hotish air not cold. Any suggestions?

Just unscrew it
