A/C cycling, how to recharge 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Terry Haywood on  Mon Feb 26 10:38 CST 2001 [RELATED]



Spring is here! My 95 850's A/C is doing the fast cycle thing. I've seen posts that make recharging sound easy, pretty much just dumping in a can or two or R134. Do I need to measure pressures or temperatures or "just do it"? What about adding oil?

There is a sticker in the engine compartment that says a dye was added before I got the car, about 15K miles ago. Should I

1. go to a shop to see if they can still spot the leak,

2. add refrigerant and see how long it takes to leak out, or

3. get a kit that seals leaks and use that?

There were posts a few months ago about something called "cryo-chem" that somebody said fixed an evaporator leak but I can't find them.

Anything I should watch out for (anything I can do wrong)?

Thx,

Terry Haywood
