I would not do that....an R134a system is not supposed to have any loss of refrigirant. First and foremost, are you sure that you're low on refrigirant and not something else is going on? If you are low on refrigirant than you have a leak. Get your system vacuumed out and filled with a new charge with a dye in it. That will help identify the leak. Don't fix the symptoms - fix the problem.

Thank u Roto. Im not gay or anything so dont take this the wrong way. but I love u dude. U always answer my questions. Lets me know someone is there. I really appreciate your help.


I went to the Auto repair shop. Some ppl who have always worked on my Acura. (trust worthy folks) They pick on me for having a Saab. But oh wel. They are Haters But anyway. they checked out my A/C My pressure is up near 45. they used there thermo and Im getting about 51 inside the vents. they said my A/C is working just fine.

Well I chocked it up to Be HotLanta. (Atlanta, Ga is extremely Hot right about now) I went to a Window Tint shop because I need to do something. The A/C Just isnt cooling me of enough. Paid $145 for all windows. An Boy what a difference.!!!!

Another thing. when I get in the car and the A/C comes on. I hear a loud rattle or rumble that sounds like its coming from the dash board. It Last about 5 seconds. whats this noise??

Most likely you're hearing you AC compressor kick on... unless some HVAC duct is loose and it rattling from the added vibration of the AC turning on.
