Part: Air conditioning

Effectively maintaining your car's air conditioning system can provide both physical and economic benefits, as it leads to reduced fuel consumption. This guide shows how to recharge your car's air conditioning. Perform the entire operation while wearing mechanic's gloves and safety glasses. After opening the valve on the fitting, you can insert the refrigerant and tighten the hose once you hear it flowing out. Once the quick connector is attached and you ensure there are no leaks, start the engine, set the air conditioning to maximum, and check with the gauge on the recharge hose that the pressure remains constant over time.
