A/C recharge 850 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be 93 & 97 850 on  Thu May 13 09:59 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I charged my 93 every year, its easy dyi job,

you need to buy a r 143a recharge kit and follow the directions.
it cost about 30 bucks the cans of r134a are around 6 bucks.
the kit comes with stop leak r134a combo(large can),

it comes with a gauge and presure fitting with a little twist valve

make sure you hook up to the low side, if you are blowing hot air
you will need two cans, I am sure your evap is leaking but
it may be super slow like mine, two the three cans a year
got me throught the hot season in upstate NY

good luck

93 850 glt 5 speed (sold)
97 850 sport wagon (sold)
