I miss my 245. It took no time at all to charge the AC. The ^#^&% designers of the 850 engine bay never had DIY in mind. Under the ECU? Inches from the fan belt? A switch to turn off the compressor if the 134a gets too low? Man, all of this for a 100% increase in horse power.
I added one 16 ounce can of 134a and the pressure is 25 when the compressor is on, 45 when the compressor is off, and 65 when the car is shut off. Is this about right, or should I add another 12 ounces? I don't want to over chage it.
