Air con refilling details

Forum: 

Hello All, can anyone tell me how much aircon gas to put in my 1998 fourtrak, as the sticker has gone from the slam panel, my dealer ain't got a clue. thanks

If the dealer has no clue,

If the dealer has no clue, then leave and get it done by someone who knows what they are doing, as these obviously don't.

The system should be vacuumed out, tested, and filled with the correct weight of LUBRICANT and GAS. Replacing the gas alone does nothing as the lubricant also needs replacing.

Avoid the gas kits from retailers, these are dangerous.

Go to a local professional who will have the correct information, and do the job properly. They should charge around £45-50 and give a warranty.

There isn't one on my YRV

There isn't one on my YRV either, must be a daihatsu thing.......

I charged mine to a nearly full sight glass at 1500 RPM. Works perfectly. The only correct way is to weigh in the gas, as with any A/C system. As for the oil, this is to lubricate the compressor, and a smnall amount of oil travels around the gas which helps to keep the rubber parts from drying out and cracking. I personally didn't add any oil as I knew where mine was leaking, and it was a TINY leak and the was no oil residue at the site of the leak. If you add oil every time you re gas it you risk over filling it, as oil doesn't leak out whenever the gas does, especially on the low side (return side) of the system.
