Working on Your Vehicle’s AC System
The phrase “can of worms” comes to mind when I think about the DIYer servicing an AC system. There’s so much to be considered. Technicians have to be certified to work on AC systems; that should tell you something. But even that’s not enough most times. You also need a good amount of experience working on AC systems. With that said, I strongly recommend you take your AC work to a professional. They have the proper equipment and experience to get the job done, or at least they should have it. Weigh your options carefully before you tear into your AC system. AC parts can be expensive; I’d hate to see you install a new expensive part that didn’t fix the problem, or end up damaging your system due to improper service. Ignorance can cost you big time here. Proceed with caution.

I have just replaced the radiator on my mitsubishi outlander. I mistakenly started removing the High side pressure hose from the air con condensor. I reconnected the hose quickly but still lost some gas. I tried to top off the gas using a manifold but the gauges read zero and the Air con did not come on. Any ideas?
