Recharge. Where is the low pressure intake valve located?
Thanks

canister. There are 2 lines for the A/C. Each one will have a fitting on it.
The High side is a small fitting. The low side will have a larger fitting.

Well, if you are asking that question you probably should leave it to a
professional because if you add too much you screw things up big time. You
need to check the super heat, outside air temp, discharge air temp and most
of all have the proper set of gauges so you can see what you have other wise
I told you so.

You must work for a service center. God forbid anyone should ever do things
themselves. I have done this on many cars in the past with no problems. All
you need is a pressure gauge that you can pick up at any auto parts store.
Check the pressure with the A/C on. The proper pressure rating is on the
label under the hood. Get the recharge kit at any store that sells auto
parts. Even Wal-Mart. Just make sure you don't over charge it. If you have
no pressure then I would say to have it serviced since you will need to have
a pressure test done to find the leak and have it repaired

For once, I won't even nitpick you.
Two good, simple reasons not to mess with a/c unless you KNOW what you
are doing:
1. Mistakes are very expensive relative to the cost of having the work
done.
2. Mistakes are flat out dangerous - hell, even doing it right
involves significant risks unless you have the right equipment. CFCs
at temp and pressure are nasty buggers - BTDT.

for a long time and work at a local college. I am certified in automotive
AC&R and a Universal cert in all others. I have been doing hobby service
for many people and have changed out many R-12 units to 134-a system and
have used the new r-409 direct replacement for R-12. I told you so!

1. If you buy a re-charge kit the hose will ONLY fit the low side fitting.
It will NOT fit the high side which is smaller.
2. The refrigerant label shows what type of refrigerant to use and the
pounds to use. I worked for an auto manufacturer and I know this is true. By
law the label must state both. Most new systems take between 1 to 2 pounds
of refrigerant depending on the size of the system.
Of course being the total jack-ass that you are you wouldn't know this.
And adding 1 can of refrigerant re-charge would not blow up the system get
real.
If the risk was that great then they would not be allowed to sell the damn
stuff.
