Nothing happy about Mermorial Day...

Wow. I used to recharge my a/c myself with the Freon they sell at auto stores and after I’ve seen this video I’m still going to recharge it myself. Thank you
Lmao
😂

😂😂😂😂
Sure your 1998 Ford Fiesta can handle it.
I've used the recharge cans for years and never had a problem. If I can avoid the mechanic I will
But if something is wrong on the high side you'll never know it. He has a point. I use em, but I also did just change my orifice tube and blew through my coils to make sure they were clear.
I used recharge cans on my 2008 BMW (pos) and it was ice cold four years later.
Just bleed the air out of the hose before shooting any refrigerant in and your good to go
@@Rforce78 HI to relieve air you just press the valve correct on th econnector right? and on the high presssure valve or on both the low and high?
@@carlosb1 no
Used AC Pro and a small can of lubricant mixed with R134A. My truck is blowing ice cold two seasons now. Not doubting Scotty, but getting a mechanic to do it costs BIG TIME!
I always have doubt when he posts...so many opinions that are just way too far out.
Dude is 100% correct.
@@hhjhj393 so don't use on expensive new cars, use on crappy old cars which the majority of us have
Don't use any cans with Stop leak, I too have been avoiding mechanics but stop leak clogged up my AC line. If you use any, make sure it is just Refrigerant with NO added sealing stuff.
Scotty Kilmer is the man ❤😎 I work for gm , well and Honda or the lowest bidder ❤️😎
Once the hose punctures the seal on the can, you can squeeze the trigger and purge the line before snapping it over the connection.
And then what, guess? It only cost $100 to get a pump and gages. It cost several hundred dollars to have the system fixed if not thousands. Not worth the risk really.
Me: I wanna fix my car
Scotty: get rid of it
Anthony Anza it's a money pit
Piece of junk
Get a 98 Toyota... Everything else is a mistake
Scotty: Don't
These comments are the funniest lmao
I’ll stick to paying $12 for the refrigerant every year rather than $300 to a mechanic.
lol facts
Every year? You need gaskets man. They’re like 5 bucks, and the hole in the ozone layer really doesn’t need the help.
@@chimayinasniffer what if it's leaking at the compressor clutch?
@@chimayinasniffer Dude - we switched to R134a some 30 years ago to stop ruining the Ozone Layer.
However the hand-wringers back then said it takes 50 YEARS for the R-12 to get up that high in the atmosphere and break down, so we STILL have Freon from car crashes in the '70's tearing up the Ozone.
I guess there's always a quick way and a right way to do a job obviously the quick way it's not the right way
This guy has an amazing future with mattress outlet commercials
Yeah he can make a 30 minute video out of something that can be told in 30 seconds, but I guess some like the full story instead of what's imporant
That guy is an American Treasure and a well deserved wealthy man.
@@peteleoni9665 LMAO
Or as Dennis Hopper’s stunt double
I almost give hope that this is the video that I see Scotty did not sweat, but closer to the ending disappoints me
Hey Scotty. Every single time I was your videos you explain them so well for people to understand. I'm amazed for all your help you have available for anyone to use. And most of all. Thank you for what you do.
Me: AC’s blowin hot Scotty!
Scotty: well back in the day when I was ur age we had to walk to school uphill .. BOTH WAYS!
🤣😂
You mean you had legs to walk on? We had to pull ourselves!

I think back in the day going both ways was the standard...hence the birth of the rainbow flag ...😁 Joking
Don’t forget that it was 10 miles (one way)!
Wow,
Great job Scotty!!!
Thank you so much for taking your knowledge and sharing it with the world!!
A few years ago you took an Uber ride and my father-in-law was the driver. He had a great time with you and said you were a wonderful person. He suggested to go checkout you channel and I am so glad I did.
Keep up the awesome work. True automotive mechanics are becoming a rare find these days!!!
Scotty I been listening and watching you’re videos for about 3 years now and I learned a lot , I had an family member teach me the basics on general mechanic. But now with the new vehicles and new technology I relay on you’re videos to guide me on some light repairs or preventive maintenance. I want to thank you and keep up the good work and share the knowledge.
An honest and informative mechanic. A rare breed that we need more of! Thanks Scotty as always.
Always keep in mind when Scotty talks about not doing something, if you drive an old beater, and you just want colder AC and don't care if something goes wrong in a year or two, do it
Man I’m sure I missed this give away but I’m telling you Scott. You are a life saver when it comes to knowing what I can and can’t do myself. I’ve always considered myself a good mechanic that can do all my own work myself. Watching your videos has humbled me and motivated me to learn all that I can the correct way so I am not cheating myself or others that I help. Thank you sir
Please, you're smarter than you're giving yourself to be.
@werockclimb, As a professional technician of many years, I have learned there is always something else to learn. The right information is always a good thing. Take care and all the best.
Scotty has another video where he recommends using one of these DIY rechargers (a top 5 video). So do I use it or not Scotty?!
Scotty rocks
He’s our man
Fixing them cars
Like no one else can
Would it be a good guess to say my AC is low if it’s blowing air hotter than the suns surface
recharge it yourself
@HexagramMan how can I tell if the air compressor is done for
Angela Robinson turn the car on and listen to try and hear the compressor working
😂😂
@@angelarobinson4374 you have to fill the system to the correct amount and see if it comes on, if it doesn't than either the pressure switch is bad, the ac relay is bad, or the compressor is bad..
Thanks Scotty ! Im dealing with an AC problem right now ,I appreciate the heads up ,you really inform us.
Brah I went and bought the can he said to never use. One or two short burst and car was fixed. This dude wasted so much effort on telling us not to use it without actually giving advice on what to do.
He’s speaking to the rich part of town. I have to do it myself.
The multicolored hose thing is available to borrow from autozone locations if you just need to use it and give it back, you don't have to buy one
@@star-army I'm facing down a serious AC leak that needs fixing, and I'm gonna have to do it at some point so this is super helpful info. I didn't know they rented tools.
Its only about $150 for decent cheap vacuum pump and gauges. The damage those quick cans can cause will cost you a lot more than that.
Facts!!🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣 FACTS!
I took my 2005 Ford to a "reputable" A/C" repair shop several years ago and was told I need a new $1000 compressor. I put in part of a can of A/C Pro following instructions and it still works great!
The problem is sooo many shops are filled with ppl who aren’t paid well enough to care. They don’t have great reputations and most ppl have no idea what they are looking ar
@@vanderumd11 In their mind, they are getting screwed so they figure they might as well screw you. The wonderful human chain of life.
@@JSustain Why not call us unhuman? wonderful human chain? WTF is that?
@@irisbaez1972 as opposed to animal food chains? Maybe they are the same to you?
@@JSustain ja,ja,ja. in the way we are, I don't see humans but humanoids full of demons. the demon of pride possesses us.
I well recognize value of your videos. You have that rare skill to explain in a clear understandable manner enabling DIY to handle issues that otherwise I would be off to the dealer or repair garage. This A/C video is priceless. Keep them coming Scotty.
I've started messing with cars at 9 years old with my dad.. I'm 73 now and i still work on cars. I'm not to old to learn something new and watching Scotty I sometimes pick up something that makes it easier for me to repair.
I've been using these kits for years! Ive never had an issue! Screw paying 100s!
slow leak, added twice with the kits....so far...no problems....2008 subaru forrester....next time I have to get the leaks fixed.....
Of you have minor leaks does ac pro kit helps to fix that? Can i get cool air for couple of months? Because mechanic said there is leakage and we cant find it. They’re asking too much to check cabin evaporator. I am middle of spending a little and too much. Ac pro kit could be an experiment for me. Looking for suggestions.
@@thomasshelsaybye8220 It claims to have the best sealer of these recharge kits. It seemed to have the best reviews. I just used it on my car but now the compressor rapidly turns off and on, so not sure wtf is going on. In your case, you can get the 20 ounce can at Walmart for $30 locally, so probably worth a shot.
Thomas Shelsaybye you can use it no problems. You probably have the leak in the evaporator is the reason you cannot see or find it. That means dash removal! Stick a can of it, if the leak is real small might last you a few months even for the summer until it leaks out
Thomas Shelsaybye this the problem, people doing things that they are not competent in doing, also there are several brands os products which will seal small leaks, but you will not find these in the auto move stores , Cheers from usa🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love that he sounds like a raving lunatic when he does his videos holds my attention way better than the other boring guys
Those Airborne guys...
Side effect of watching too much TV as a kid
😂😂😂
@NATALIA G Maybe you shouldn't. He isn't always right about the stuff he posts.
Mark of superior intellect that he doesn't sound "normal" Big trouble now in the USA because we cater to the "much less than intellectual" crowd. No on really knows what is happening.
How about shutting the valves and waiting 30 minutes to 1 hour after you've drawn a vacuum to see if you lose vacuum? If so, you have to find the leak before recharging or it will just leak out again.
Thank you Scotty for educating us on how to avoid some common mistakes when our A/C isn't working.
That's like $300 worth of shop work. I'll stick to Wally world $5 recharge cans.
Yea, problem is; who's gonna invest in something you use only once in 16 years ?
@@guesswhomartin9249 you dont need to buy all that stuff, just the refrigerant. You can usually get the pump and gauges from an auto parts stores like oreillys or autozone who have a loaner tool program.
@@User69420blazeit ... Thank you.
you can literally rent those at autozone. if you top it off most likely you're going to ruin your ac compressor prematurely. same thing you do with your house a/c. don't want non condensables/moisture in your system. I did my friends and it only cost me like $40.
Yes, kiddies but paying attention is something you didnt do.
What is the one thing you dont have?
Any accurate way of measuring the freon going into the system without a scale and usually a 30lb can of freon to put on that scale for any real accuracy in this job. If guessing was okay then a lot of AC systems would not have failed within a month or two of loading these systems wrong.
If you po, then your ac no mo, you roll the windows down.
I've taken a lot of advice from scotty but not this one. I've been using recharge cans as long as I've been driving on multiple vehicles and never had an issue. Always blew cold when I was done and it never made an issue worse. Infact one time I was recommended a new compressor and instead just did cans every 6-8 weeks in the summer. I also used ac sealer once and that too worked fine and fixed a severely leak ac system for 3 more years.
I'm sure Scotty is right here, but I feel like telling the average person to hook up an air compressor to their AC is way more riskier to damaging their AC system than hooking up one of the r134 cans. But idk.
It's good information, but it's worth a try, if it doesn't work you will bring it in and they should evacuate it and eliminate any problems you created like putting air into the system. The low volume and low-pressure warnings are worthwhile, I will do incremental input and not just empty the can into it. If it cools fine after a partial fill I will stop, he sounds like a mechanic who wants to do those easy/expensive AC repairs. If it was annual, I probably would try to find the leak and bring it in telling them what I found. Considering the quality of repairs, I suspect they would do close to the same thing and not fix the leak.
Danny, I am 74 years old and have been adding Refrigerant for over 40 years, never have i messed up anything concerning my air conditioner, if the Low Side is Low, usually the High Side is Low and these days I do use the Walmart Bottles with Gage on them-save gage to use on the cheaper cans...
Thank you Scotty. You videos are awesome. I will be trying your method.
should have replaced both the Schrader Valves inexpensive to do :)
One thing he didn't show is on a set of manifold gauges there is a bleeder valve that you're supposed to bleed air from the gauge/hoses before opening up the valve to charge the system. Other than that very good info as usual
Wow, didn't think about that 🤦🏽♂️
I used this stuff 10 years ago and over 100,000 Mi ago, on my car. Still working like a charm!
Toyota board room: We need someone to help refine our quality control procedures.
Scotty: Rev up your engines!!
Scotty, I love watching your videos! They are very educational and motivating! I love your editing that gets rid of wasted time in the videos! You do a great job! I only wish I lived close to you so you could work on my car!
you are such an expert, I never get tired of listening to your wise advice, thank you for all you videos!!!!
Thank you for doing an excellent job explaining both why not to use the consumer quickies as well as the proper way to charge the system. I finally understand what I've been doing wrong!!
You saved me time from watching your video, hope you live forever so I can fix every problem I got with a vehicle
Hi Scott, sadly I am 1 year late for the contest but I am a shade tree mechanic to say the least. And I have watched almost all of if not all your videos. I appreciate your knowledge it has helped me to be a better mechanic. I don't do it for money I just work on my own stuff and maybe family members and friends. You have been a big help when I need to be precise on something that I'm not sure about. I truely hope you continue your channel
I have used the diy gauges for years with no problem. Yeah it’s not going to be ideal for your ac system but as long as you pay attention to the pressure gauge and cut the flow off at the max line on the gauge it will be fine. If you have to refill it every summer then you probably need to have it checked with the correct equipment.
Note: all guides including the instructions on the can say to never max it out. As soon as it reaches green they want you to back off to avoid the high pressure damage.
Yup
Finally, a professional video with professional instructions. Thank GOD for Scotty Kilmer. An honest man that is a PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC who KNOWS exactly how to repair an automobile the proper and correct way. Thank you SIR for kind heart by showing your viewer's how to perform this procedure. God Bee you and yours.
Love your channel Scotty!! I have fixed my car many times by watching your videos.
Happy Memorial Day Scotty, thanks for your service. I'm U.S. Navy (Ret.)
Take it from a pro, this man knows what he talking about. I've used the can of freon when on a road trip, but when I returned home I put vehicle in shop to have it checked and had it done properly. Keep up the good advice.. it'll save folks money in the long run.
always good to hear from Scotty before I do anything on my car. I am a beginner at car mechanics and Scotty's videos always teach me stuff. Often I learn things from Scotty that aren't in other videos out there. Thanks for all you do Scotty!
I recharged my car once in high school with a can. It worked, but I had no idea of the danger or damage it could do! Thanks Scotty!
dmatteson2006 same until this day 😂
Dude you the Bombay!
I recharged my AC on 3 different cars and they still worked then n now 😂
I was just about to get into a similar project.. as always, no nonsense advice. Thanks Scotty.
I like how u not only explain to us why not to do it that way but you also showed the correct way to do it. Great video thank you m
I just bought those Yellow Jacket gauges and hoses to do my house AC. Thank goodness for UA-cam and instructional videos.
Started out in the HVAC industry and everything there is honest and by the book. Keep doin what you do Scotty
Was very helpful Scotty.
Saved lots of money taking your advice man. Stay on it.
Scotty, You do great job of helping people understand the things that need to be done to their cars. Thank you!
It's so refreshing to know that there's soneone out there that tells it straight forward no matter what subject Scotty is doing. THANKS SCOTTY
WOW, I did not know the a/c system was so complex. Thanks Scotty!
It's not complex. It's just that R12 is phased out and R134a isn't the best replacement. So you need to be careful.
Jhingur I still have a lot of r12, 30 and 50 lb jugs
jubjub247 it’s not used anymore unless someone has an old car that needed it or very old appliance.
Its not scotty just makes everything difficult
Its not. Anything thing is complex if you are ignorant of how it works.
Hey Scotty, you are a wonderful person helping everyone out, keep it up!
One time I put way too much in and the AC wouldn’t work when it was hot outside. So I released some refrigerant a little at a time from the low pressure side until the AC was blowing cold. I thought for sure I blew up the compressor but it worked good for years.
Always nice to get get your honest opinion on car maintenance Scotty, keep up the good work.
Nice video. Well done. Been an amateur auto restoration guy for 40 years. Wish UA-cam was around twenty five years ago.
Yep. A lotta " what could possibly go wrong" fubars in old "b.y" days..before you tube
I am quite impressed by how the a/c system works, This is something id like to get into when I can get the equipment.
Thanks Scotty! Great video
It's not very hard to do or learn to do.
Hello Scotty Kilmer!
Your thoroughly entertaining videos are part of my daily routines. I look forward to them and learn more every day. Today, Monday, 5/9/20222, it just so happens that a friend of mine came to me with a can of "freon" and questions about using it. I plan on showing this video to him when I attempt to help him with his issues.
Thank you so much, Scotty, for the huge amount of help and insight you provide. I chuckle every time you ring that bell.
Take care,
John Harrington
Always spittin some good knowledge Scotty!
Thank you for the information! As a non-mechanic I find your videos easy to follow and having sound advice.
Hey Scotty thanks for EVERYTHING I have learned so much in so little time. God bless you!💖
becareful, he isn't all that good.
Used my first can today during the 111° heat wave here in southern California. Worked perfectly!
Works now but it will die sooner than if you did it the right way hope you dont keep the car for more than 4 years
Your videos are so good! Thank you for taking the time to educate us do-it-yourselfers
Thanks for the informative video, Scotty. I recently took my Honda in to my local mechanic shop. They use a machine that does it all automatically. They evacuated the system, cleaned out the system and added just over 1/2 pound of refrigerant. Cost me $80, but it was done correctly with low/high side gauges. After watching this video, I’m glad I took it in.
The shop is charging me $400 to do it for my 2020 Honda Civic in NY
@@angelarias8366... If I were You, it would be..... "Exit.. Stage Left" as quickly as possible!!... they are Ripping you off, Big Time!!
I don't know if this applies to your situation, but...I found there's a difference between asking for the system to be recharged versus telling the shop/dealer that the A/C isn't working. If you want them to diagnose whether there's a problem with the system to find out if it needs more than a recharge, which is always possible, that's more like $400 -- $300 to diagnose and then $100 if it turns out it's just empty and they refill it.
@@johnhoffmann6904 Great idea! Instead of spending $45 and refilling it yourself, take it to a mechanic and ask him to charge you $400. LOL
I don't believe you. NO SHOP would charge just $80 for a full evac, "cleaning out the system" (whatever that is, which sounds bogus), and refilling with refrigerant. If you are being honest, then they probably didn't do hardly anything. Most shops and dealerships will charge you $90 just to replace your engine and cabin air filters, which costs them about $15 or less wholesale (combined) and takes less than 5 minutes to complete. So either they just replaced a fuse or squirted a quick shot of refrigerant in, or you recollection of what they charged is wrong.
Your videos sure are fun to watch and very informative. Keep up the great work.
That's true and sometimes I binge watch his videos.
AMEN!!! It’s great when experienced people explain the the right and wrong way of doing things to lay people, keep up the good work!
I can honestly say I have watched many of your videos over the course of time. And I have learned so much... Thank you very very much for all the effort you do for us
Scotty, we hope you live forever, what are we gonna do without your experience and knowledge... we need you man and our cars need u too.
Love your videos Scotty! Keep up the good work. Your perspective as a "in the know" mechanic is invaluable to diy guys like me.

Kimi Jong Highball. I have a 2009 Honda civic and I vacuumed and added freon after vacuuming has 35 to 40 of freon but it's not blowing cold. It's just a little chill when I'm driving but at a stop the car blows humid to hot
El Jefe you put to much in. If you don’t know what you’re doing just let a little out at a time till it blows cold or just let it all out and see how much it’s supposed to hold compared to how much the can holds and get it as close as you can or bring it to a shop.

Thank you for this video, it was very informative. I consider myself pretty well rounded when it comes to mechanics but will admit there was a lot more to ac recharge than I knew having never done one before so this video helped me avoid many unnecessary problems.
Thanks Scotty for the tip, I am a DIY on all my vehicles now I know what is needed to do it the right way
I’m in Florida and I’ve always added Freon with the gage and never had a problem 🤷♂️
You weren’t paying close attention. He said it could ruin it if not “DONE CORRECTLY”.
I believe you can't get Freon R12 in most places without a license. Off the shelf cans are 134

I'm in California same do my self ACPRO and Autozone cans and no problem for 20 years.

Im glad your available on UA-cam. You are the smartest moat efficient car mechanic on the planet!
Thank you so much for this info. Exactly what I needed.
Next you should make a video talking about how Renault and FCA merging is the absolute worst auto merge in the history of mankind
I heard that on the BBC last night.
good idea, thanks!
Is that Fiat (FCA) ??
I think Ford and Jaguar was pretty disastrous too.
