i finally put my new replacement condensor in (i drilled a hole in the other one and my refrigerant went bye bye)

i put the PAG oil into the condensor and then bolted it in.

now to recharge this thing with the R1354a refrigerant, what do i do.

ive never done this before, so iam at a loss. how many bottles of that stuff should i buy?

i was thinking though, that the a/c system has been introduced to the atmosphere, so iam thinking maybe theres air bubbles inside my system.

should i go to a shop and have this done :dunno:

any input i would appreciate.

thanks
todd

 

you have to get some one to pull a vacume on the system.then you can fill it

 

I think you should take it to a shop that knows what they are doing. You will be much better off and probably cheaper in the long run.

 

I'm sure you'll hate to hear this, but unless you have access to an A/C machine, you'll have to go to a shop. To ensure proper operation, you need to pull a vacuum on the system before filling the system with R134a, you could use a vacuum pump to do it yourself I geuss, if you could fab up some connectors to hook it up. The machine at my shop draws a vacuum to 28" hg, but it decides how much vacuum to pull depending on elevation. So I guess its up to you.

 

well, its settled. iam gonna go to a shop with a vacuum.

thanks guys.
