    My A/C was running warm out of the vents around 45-50 degrees. Using this i saw I had a low psi right around 25psi, with a quick recharge from this can following the directions I brought pressures back up to 32-35psi and A/C tems down near 32deg.

    Easy way to refill and boost your A/C's performance.

    Refrigerant itself is good; attached gauge, not so much.

    The entire gauge (made of what looks like brass) popped off the hose during regular use, hitting me in the mouth (and rendering the rest of the can unusable as the missing gauge caused a leak). No real damage done, but the risk is there. Store manager mentioned it was the third such broken one he's seen.

    While similar at first glance, a closer look reveals that the gauge in the Arctic Freeze recharge kit is visibly less fragile than the one included here as the plastic "window" holding it in is not as easily detached.

    Hose is too short. Instructions are east but location of low pressure valve on my car is low and near belts and pulleys. Be careful you don't get snagged by a moving belt.

    About 8 months ago had a mechanic add freon at a cost of about $160.00. Freon is gone now and didn't want to spend as much. Decided to use this product. Am glad I did. Now my car runs cold air once more. Haven't checked for leaks yet but am happy with results.

          This is a great product. My 2003 Nissan's AC was not blowing cold air this spring. I'd never had any problems with the AC so I figured it just needed a recharge. I tried this and it worked great! It allows you to test your AC system's pressure(which is why you would need this type of product) before even opening the bottle. The hose/pressure guage is reusable. This means you can test other car's AC systems to see if this product will fix those cars as well. The bottle is large enough to recharge my AC system from 2 lbs. to the recommended 25 lbs. I even had enough left to top off another car! I love a product that actually does what it says.

          Comments about Interdynamics Arctic Freeze Ultra Synthetic R-134a Refrigerant with Reusable Dispenser and Gauge (18 oz.):

          My 2001 Town Car AC hasn't worked since last fall. Springtime here in FL brings 80 degree-plus weather and my hot wife let me know she needed to chill in the car or things would not be cool at home.I had been putting off getting the AC serviced for weeks because I was afraid of the 200 dollar plus quotes I was getting. Then I heard an ad for this Arctic Freeze stuff on the radio a few days ago. I checked out their website and watched the video online -[@]- to get a feel as to whether this is something I could do. It looked pretty straightforward.Because the AC had been out for so many months, I called the IDQ Help Line to be sure I wouldn't just be throwing money away; Got right through to a very knowledgeable tech; After 3 or 4 minutes of her asking me a few questions about my Lincoln she thought it would probably work for me; She also suggested I buy a can of additional R134a straight freon (no sealant or oil) because of the large capacity of the system.Sounded easy enough so I bought the Arctic Freeze and a can of R134a at Advance Auto Parts online, then picked it up at the Advance near me. Very easy so far...It took about 20 minutes to infuse the Arctic Freeze. The gauge on the can was now in the green zone but not where the temperature compensation indicator wanted it. Even so, my AC was now blowing cold air!I kept the motor running and popped off the hose from the port on my car, unscrewed the empty Arctic Freeze can and replaced it with the "grenade" of R134a; Reconnected the hose to the system and finished the job.The IDQ Tech was right on- buying a can of R134a in addition to the Arctic Freeze turned out to be perfect advice- Saved me a trip back to Advance.Total time standing in front of the car with the hood up: just over 1/2 hour. Then I sat inside my cool ride for another 15 minutes (AC on MAX) to make sure the sealant and lubricant was fully dispersed within the system. Done!Bottom Line: Less than an hour of my time and less than 50 dollars out of my pocket total! Very cool in every sense!I've done all kinds of mechanical and electrical work on cars but never got into working on an AC system other than replacing fuses, blower motors or dash controls. I thought I would need all kinds of hoses, gauges and vacuum pumps.Turns out that so long as your compressor isn't seized and the system still has some pressure in the freon circuit, there's a good chance Arctic Freeze will get you rolling down the road with your windows rolled up! CAUTION/WARNING: This fix involves working with gasses under EXTREMELY HIGH PRESSURE that can explode if things go wrong! The gas itself can freeze anything it touches INSTANLY including your fingers and eyes!That's why I call the can of R134a a "grenade"... WEAR THICK GLOVES AND SAFETY GOGGLES!!!

            If you use this product, do not trust the trigger gauge! They are very cheap and poorly constructed. I have foolishly overcharged two vehicles and could have caused some immense repair bills. Buy a quality separate gauge.

                There are a number of possibilities. Your compressor may be damaged and not working properly. You can check to see if it is cycling on off properly by looking at the clutch plate face in the middle of the compressor pulley.

                A:

                Air conditioning is a closed system and the only reason you will ever need to add refrigerant is if the system has developed a leak. There is no way of knowing how long it may take to develop a leak since there are lots of potential causes of leaks. Most causes are mechanical in nature and would mean that the system was damaged in some way. Some leaks can be caused by seals deteriorating over time, and again, there is no way of knowing how long that may take. Just get it diagnosed by a certified technician with all the right training, tools and facilities and you will hopefully be good for even years.

                Most likely your motor home used R-12 refrigerant. However if you want to do repairs to it yourself you will have to retrofit the system to use R-134a unless you have to have an EPA license to buy R-12.
