- Step-by-step guide on recharging ac air condition on Chevrolet Impala ( 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | LS | LT | LTZ | LIMITED ).
You don't have to pay hundreds of dollars to mechanical shops to re-charge your air conditioning on your Chevy Impala sedan. You can always purchase A/C re charge kit for cars and use R-134a cans to fill it up yourself.
Always be careful not to overfill the system. Check your owners manual for the AC refrigerant capacity. There should also be a sticker just under the hood with the A/C capacity in your car.
First time you are recharging A/C might take you a bit longer, but once you learn it, you can use it on every car in just couple of minutes and spend up to $10 per car. If there is an air condition leak, you can try using A/C stop leak can which might seal small leaks. For bigger leaks, you will have to take the vehicle to a professional shop to have it diagnosed.

You should always shake the can good before attaching. When injecting ac in you turn can from 12 to 3 o'clock not upside down and also continue shaking. Done this for years and if u watch other videos you'll see. 😬😯😬 Glad it worked for you!! Just my experience with mechanics.
This worked very well for my dad. Now we ride in cool air and it's all thanks to you thank you for your channel
Glad I was able to help :)
Videos like these help me do a lot of research 🔬 and help me with more car knowledge as a mechanic …GREAT INFORMATIONAL VIDEO 👌🏾💯!
Thanks for watching and for the comment :)
What use is the gauge on the can if you're not going to check if the pressure is in the yellow?
I have an 06. My wife has an 08. Great driving cars. Power to weight ratio is excellent. Decent feul economy. Good road trip vehicles.
Couldn't agree more! These Impalas are the most comfortable cars I ever drove
Get a interceptor
I have a 2016
Excellent description.
Thanks!
Why when I tried to add some it keeps cutting off
Appreciate the knowledge! ❤❤
My pleasure!! Thanks for watching
Great video so informative! Thank you for this information. I will be trying to fix my AC this week
Glad it was helpful! Good luck

Thank you so much, the old Impala is slowing giving up life, but we must keep it going, I am determined to get 500,000 kms out of her! lol
No problem. This older Impalas are very resilient and if maintained I believe it can get to 500k easily
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome
tried this but the hose just will NOT go far enough on to lock into place. Looks just like yours. any ideas?
Hmmm it should just snap on. Best I can tell you is try to wiggle it a bit or push a bit harder until it locks in place. Good luck, hopefully it will work out for you
Thx great video.
Thanks
Thank you! I have a 2013, with a very different engine, but I found the port using this video as a guide.
You're welcome and I'm glad my video helped you out
I have a 2013 ls and it keep on blowing hot air
Great thanks
You are welcome
how do you know that it needs to be recharged or has a leak? i have a chevy impala 2009 that i just got as my first car since someone was selling it. it makes a really annoying clicking noise.
HI, clicking noise is most likely coming from a failed blend door actuator. If a/c is not working first check the fuses and try to listen if you hear compressor engaging. Then connect recharge hose to get a reading of the amount of refrigerant in the system. If it is low it needs to be recharged or there might be a leak as well. For a leak detection you would have to take the vehicle to a certified shop as they can use special equipment and dye to determine the location of the leak
Man I have a 2013 and my AC won't turn on at all!! It would cut on Then now it's off completely..I just had a new born baby so I can't have her in the car with the way this heat is goin on..what do you Think is the problem I hope it's the fuse or something
You'll have to try and diagnose it. Start by checking the fuses, then make sure the a/c is charged up and there is no leaks. If all good, next step is to check the a/c compressor. Also try looking for shops in your area that do free diagnostics. In my area there is bunch of mobile a/c guys that come to your house and do free inspection of the a/c system and quote you for the work needed
Thank You
You're welcome
I don't want to screw the can. LOL useful information thank you.
You're welcome :)
Good video… but no freon is going inside it’s leaking all on the line… any idea why
You probably didn't get a good connection at the low pressure port. Some of these recharge hoses don't really like to sit on the port, try pushing it on a bit harder to make sure it sits. This is the best I can tell you
so there is no need to connect to the high end?
no, you can recharge it this way like shown on the video
Is this for 2014 Chevy Impala limited Lt
Yes it would apply to 2014 Impala as well
I can't put it on ac. It blinks 6 times. It will only run in fan mode. What should I do? The ac was running fine before i ran out
6 blinks usually means low pressure in the system so it gets disabled until it gets serviced / charged
If recharge doesnt work, it is most likely an a/c compressor issue
@@ovechkin0218 More than likely it would be the compressor clutch. They are common in impalas to go bad overtime. I had to change mine out because my car had the same issue.
Wiggle the relay in fuse box it will work
I had one with a hose but it not locking
Sometimes these hoses and adapters are not the best quality. It takes couple of attempts for it to lock
Haven’t had AC in 3 years, gonna try this tomorrow and see if it works for the Monte Carlo 06
Good luck. If there is no leaks in the lines and a/c compressor works it should work for you
@@QuiteAlright 👍🏽
I have no heat tho. Both heater core hoses are hot coming out the firewall but still no heat. Is there a door in front of the heater core that need be open??
You might have an issue with the heater blend door actuator. If it is stuck at cold, you won't get any heat in. That is a common problem
@@QuiteAlrightI have the opposite issue… AC works on passenger side but driver side is simply blowing hot air from outside. Fun times. 😅
@@-KingOfKhaos Most likely temperature blend door actuator failed and it is not registering when you change the temp controls to cold air
@@QuiteAlright I actually just charged it, and both sides are blowing 39 degrees F, which is 35 degrees cooler than when I started charging… so for now it seems it may have just been coolant related? I thought for sure it would be a door actuator like you mentioned as well… frankly I think there still may be a door actuator issue but if at least one side is blowing just above freezing and the driver side is blowing close to that, I will take it as a win lol
Appreciate your channel though… 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@-KingOfKhaos I'm glad things worked out for you 👍Thanks for watching and reaching out
just put mine in today
Lol 🤣 its sooo funny it says RETARD ON THE overcharge psi of the gauge.
Mine’s a 2017 😪😪
It's gonna be the same process, you just have to locate low pressure charging port
You sound like gru
Lol
🤣
Well first find out how much ac it holds or u will blow the ac compressor gasket out
Great way to mess up your compressor
How so?
No true for Chevy 2010 impala
Liar
@@bobbyhernandez2241 lol I'm not I have a 2010 and that is not where it located on it
