Air Conditioning Recharge Instructions

Model: Audi A4 B6 - Years 2000-2004
Part: Air conditioning

If the air conditioning is set to the lowest temperature but the air coming from the vents is not cold enough, it is likely that you need to recharge the refrigerant in the system. It is more appropriate to recover the existing gas using the proper tool, perform a vacuum, and then recharge the system. However, if you want to do a quick top-off, you can purchase a can of gas with the appropriate gauge and connection hose. First, remove the plastic grille under the windshield, locate the air conditioning line where the valve is situated, remove the cap, and connect the hose. Start the engine, turn on the air conditioning to the lowest temperature and the fan to maximum, and press on the service valve to charge the gas.

How to Remove the Front Shock Absorber on a Peugeot 406

How to remove the front shock absorber on a Peugeot 406? The first step is to lift the bonnet and secure it with the prop rod. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the shock absorber mounting bolts (engine bay), lift the car on a column lift and remove the front wheel. Unscrew the shock absorber mounting bolts at the wheel hub (detach the brake line clips with a screwdriver). Unscrew the bolts on the side, then remove the shock absorber from its housing (place a support under the bar). Compare the old part with the new one and prepare for installation. Fit the new shock absorber to the car, working in reverse order.
