One more A/C question 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Chrissij on  Thu Apr 22 04:14 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I see no new accumulator...was that included in the kit? I never buy a kit, so I don't know. I've seen the kit at Advanced, and I know there is no accumulator in that kit. A great deal of the refrigerant oil is in the accumulator, this will definitely create a problem if that wasn't replaced. 3.5 cans...WAY too much. R12 max capacity 1100g - R134 max capacity 950g. You have 1176g in your system. We only put 850g in (2.5 cans)...we're in Florida...it gets hotter, pressures get higher...but I think that would be about right for you as well. Also...how much oil did you put in? Oil capacity, either system is 60g. That would be the 2 ounce oil charge can. If you used the 6 ounce can...again...too much.
