So in my ongoing research I have been coming across some interesting things.
First, my car has an AC pressure sensor installed. So if the system pressure falls below a pre-determined level, it is supposed to shut the compressor off.
Seeing as though my car stops cooling but does not shut the compressor off (scroll type), wouldn’t this rule out a low charge?
I do believe that 134a is no longer sold in Canada…..I could be wrong about that but I’m pretty sure. If it is available I think you may need some kind of license to purchase it.
I guess what I would have to do is get someone to evacuate the system and recharge it, either myself or pay a pro. We shall see!
I think the Redtek stuff is meant as a replacement for 134a. You evacuate and recharge with the Redtek stuff.

I see those RedTek AC recharge kits at Walmart…..are they something I can use?
My system uses 134a and I’ve noticed the local kits have things like 12a or 22a written on them. No mention of 134a.
This is uncharted territory for me but I’m enjoying learning. I’ve already learned a loy

Awesome,
The only problem though is that here in Canada a set of those AC gauges will cost you about 200 bucks. There’s no harbour freight version here so I might as well pay a pro to do it.
I’d love to have my own set of gauges but it will have to wait until the right deal comes along.

You sound very confident! I like it!
Not cheap at my local garage though. 65 bucks for the initial inspection…..a further 150 to do the refrigerant. $215 total.
I’m sure they’ll end up charging me more though.

Appreciate the reply!
If I was low on refrigerant, wouldn’t I always have this problem? It only seems to occur at low road speeds or idle.

Eric, what are you doing when you’re adjusting the “effective length of the rod”? Can’t really see but are you twisting the rod with your fingers (after loosening the jam nut)?

Anyone know why some of the posts seem to be cut off? Many of the threads I bring up have only a couple lines in the post and then the next post is shown….also usually cut off.
Am I missing something?
