Recharging the Air Conditioning System

Model: Ford Mondeo / Fusion MK 2 - Years 2000-2007
Part: Air conditioning

After a few years of use, the air conditioning system can lose gas due to leaks, resulting in reduced effectiveness. To remedy this, it is necessary to recharge the system. Obtain the appropriate gas canister equipped with a dispenser and pressure regulator. Start the engine and set the air conditioning temperature to minimum. Unscrew the screws of the right front wheel arch to easily access the recharge valve located at the back. Connect the dispenser to the valve, then shake the canister to mix the gas and subsequently connect it to the dispenser. Press the appropriate lever on the dispenser to release the gas and constantly monitor the pressure, which should not exceed the green zone. Once the correct pressure is reached, disconnect the dispenser, close the valve, and check the proper functioning of the air conditioning.
