the air will be hot .
actually never, it is not an easy task, you are always taking some risk, if the system is over 7 years old it is best to rework the system. flush all old oil out , change bearing in clutch seal in front of compressor , all system seals, then refill with fresh oil and freon. as a quick remedy add freon with oil and dye and sealer mix, then pray. if you continue on though and too much oil accumulates then compressor will blow, if too little oil it will sieze and destroy system leaving a 1,200 bill to restore
the air coming from the vent is warm
yes but you need to how much freon if may not be cost effective. Plus you need to know if it is the same type of freon.
When you are going to add Freon to a Toyota Camry, you need to know which type to add. You will need to put the Freon recharging coupler to the recharging kit, and get the engine to operating temperature. When the engine is at operating temperature put the air conditioning on the lowest setting and recharge the Freon with the windows of the car rolled down.
On all years, makes and models you will need to go to any automotive a/c repair shop and have them reclaim this for you.... (Do not just let it out in the atmosphere this is illegal)....... Depending of if your have R-12 freon or R134A freon you can buy the R134a freon at any auto parts store but you need to be licensed to buy R-12 freon.........
all i know is that freon is put into air conditioning units in your car. it's what causes your A/C to be cold
Since you are aware of what freon smells like , and you must know what it is used for , there is only one system in an auto that uses it.
Freon is a very touchy thing to work with. The EPA bans its release into the atmosphere, so only experts and professionals know how to add and subtract Freon from the car safely. Take your car to a mechanic or a Chevy dealer for this.
The exact amount of Freon that needs to be added to a Kia Optima is unknown. This is because if Freon is needed there may be a leak and the car will need to be taken to a mechanic.
refrigerant 135a is the the standard freon used and sold at most auto parts/retail stores. You can even do it yourself.
To add Freon to a 1994 Volvo 850 you will need to buy 4 cans of Arctic Ice and one can of blue dye. Use the spray can nozzle to attach to the air conditioning compressor and add the Freon. I am a certified auto AC tech and would not recommend putting 4 cans of Freon in a car AC system all at once. If you do not have gauges then put one can of Freon (refrigerant) in at a time. Have the air conditioner turned up on high, the car running and begin adding the Freon while shaking the can. When the compressor kicks on ( you should hear the compressor click on) you should almost be finished. If the compressor cycles in and out quickly this means you need more Freon. If the compressor clicks on and runs for a minute or 2 then put no more Freon in the system.
I wouldn't pay anyone to do it, it'd probably by a lot more than to just do it yourself. You can get a can of it at auto zone or somewhere for about ten to twenty dollars and they should be able to tell you where the valve is that you put the fluid in. Second opinion: Your car should not need freon. If it does, then there is a leak, and it would be inappropriate to add freon without fixing the leak. Besides, it is possible to have too much freon, so you need to measure what was in the system. You need tools and equipment to do this, so take the car someplace and have it looked at.
It varies from car to car. The best way to know for sure is to consult a qualified A/C shop. Good luck!
