Great video what makes the can start getting cold
@@tbh1304 the refrigerant itself starts to get the can cold, has something to do with the liquid refrigerant turning into a gas that makes it cold 👍
@@broco6608 if your can has the self sealing valve tops yes you can save to reuse or use on separate vehicle. Im not sure if all the states have moved to using self sealing cans, Im in California
@@broco6608 yes the can will say if it's self sealing. If you cant get self sealing just be sure to buy the smallest cans you can, usually 12oz 👍 they're cheap around $10 a can sometimes cheaper
I took your advise! I turned the can upside down and it sped the process up!
Short, but extremely precise, video. I’m a woman who knows absolutely NOTHING about cars and, after watching this video, I was able to bang this out on my Subaru, WITHOUT my husband’s help, mind you 😂, in less than ten minutes! Thanks so very much!! 😃
Awesome, you're welcome. Happy I was able to help you get it done 👍
nice. i plan to do the same.
That can be dangerous. Maybe consider learning things that can kill you if not immediately dealt with...? Like bubbles on the side of a tire (sidewall) is extremely dangerous. It's just begging for a blow out.
Girl power! I’m about to tackle my Sonata! You give me hope.
@@Msluxor26how did it go? I need to try this on my jeep
My AC has been blowing out hot air. I got my inspection sticker this month and asked the mechanic at the shop; how much they would charge to fix my AC?...dude said $250...I said I would call my husband to make sure, my husband said, "hell no!!". We saw this video, hubby fixed 3 cars within 15 min! Mine, his, and his coworker that was helping him with some renovations that was at our house...he had also gone to a mechanic and they were asking for $220! You saved us so much time and money! You're the best! Especially with these hot days, my kids are thankful for it too! 💖
Wow, awesome! Glad I could help you guys out. You're welcome, and thank you for your kind words 👍
How long did the A/C last for ?
@@chaddykman7565 i use mine half the year and it lasts 2 years
My children and I thank you. I just finished doing mine and holy crap is it amazing to have AC again. Especially in these 80F+ days in May
You're very welcome, happy I could help you get it working again 🙌👍
try 120F living in AZ
@@mak9631 😳😲😱🥵 woah thats HOT
@@mak9631yeah this shit is fucked
Single mom with a HOT van here! I was concerned about figuring out the proper way to charge my ac and now I have NO concerns. Headed out the door to give it a go now! Thanks so much!!
You're very welcome, glad to help. Good luck! 🙌👍
I’m another female repairing my auto a/c. This guy is awesome and straight to the point! The other videos left me with questions…this guy didn’t. I subscribed! Thanks!
Happy I could help and thank you for your kind words 👍
Short, sweet and to the point. Gives me confidence to do it myself. Thank you!
You're very welcome, glad I could help you out 👍
Need to purge the hose before turning on the engine. That's a big no-no. It will introduce air and moisture into the A/C system
Be careful , you have to wear glasses while doing this , because if gas get in your eyes will be blind. ..
@user-fj1pq8me7w can hook the gauge on their to check
Thanks for getting right to the point and explaining it.
You're welcome, glad I could help 👍
Yeah, no shit. Didn't even have to hear "yo what's up guys!? Today I'll be showing you where the valve you're looking for is at! Stay tuned to see where it's at after my long intro and ads"

Yes thank you for not over talking and just getting to the point. You helped me a lot your awesome 😎
It's insane they change 250 for this!! They want 100 just to drop a big battery in! It's nothing. Did it myself.
Thank you soooo much! I did this two weeks ago by putting this video on repeat and it worked perfectly. :)
Awesome, you're welcome. Glad I was able to help you out 👍
My A/C hasn't worked for like the past 2 years and I thought it was something expensive or something, so I never got it checked... turns out thi was all I needed.... mind you i live in Phoenix, AZ summer averages 110 every day..... Godblesss this video lol
Awesome, happy I could help you get it going again 🥶👍
Thank you! I was waiting on my brother to help me out, but it’s too hot in California right now. This totally saved me some money!
You're very welcome, happy I could help you out 👍
I had never heard of this before until my son mentioned it. Your video was most helpful. Brief, great tips throughout and to the point. Thank you so much!! My only suggestion is for others, if you buy a product different from what is used in this video, be sure to read those instructions as well as watch this video. I used the links provided to order the appropriate material, however, ended up purchasing a different brand of product because I didn't see the one used in the video. It worked great!!
You're very welcome, so glad I could help you out 👍
thank you bout time someone gets right to the point without telling you how the whole system works you rock
Thank you for your kind words, happy I could help 🙌👍
Exactly we just want the info ! He did a great job.
@@lovehemp4953 thank you! 🙌🤙
Wow man. You made it so simple. Nicely done without any unwanted talk.
Thank you! Glad to help 👍
Got a "QUOTE" from a few local repair shops to simply add refrigerant. 1st place wanted over $275 with labor, 2nd place quoted me nearly $400! WTH?? No wonder Americans are broke. LOL You can't even live anymore when companies charge outrageous amounts of money so I'm going to try this for about $40. If it works, great! Worth a shot. Thanks!
@@Trekopolis You're welcome, glad to help. Good luck hope it fixes it 🤞👍
Thank you for posting this video. I literally yesterday had my A/C repaired. It worked yesterday and today nothing but hot air. Then after checking the A/C’s Freon it was enjoy! What mechanic does that!?! So thank you for taking the time to help me and others selflessly. ❤
You're very welcome. Hopefully it doesn't have a big leak in system or maybe you can take back 👍
Thank ya, Thank ya, bro. You have been a very big help. Haven't seen anyone do as good as a job you did explain steep by steep instructions on how to. Well Done Bro. Keep up the GOOD work.
Thank you for your kind words, happy I could help you out 👍
As somone who is learning how to do basics like this to her prius, I would like to say:
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Especially with how hot the upcoming summer is about to be this year
You're very welcome, so glad I could help you out 👍
This video fixed my problem. I thought I was going to have to take my car to a mechanic and spend a lot of money yet again. However, after watching your video, I went to my nearest auto store and bought the product you used, and it completely fixed the problem. I couldn't believe how easy it was!
Happy I could help you get it fixed and working again, that's awesome 👍
@@JonnyDIY does it matter what kind of car you have?
@@alexanderapollo2177 most are like I showed. You can check under hood to make sure it takes this same refrigerant 👍
Haven't done this in years so I had to come on UA-cam to refresh my memory & I am glad the first video I clicked on was this! Thank you my friend

Awesome, glad I could help you out 👍
Sometimes that can be dangerous. I have a rule. Phone's off if I have my hands or body in something that can badly hurt me if I get distracted.
I was doing light globes yesterday to change the bulb. Once I was up near the 9.7 foot ceiling, the building better be on fire til I'm done.
Same with anything electricity, like car batteries. They can blow up if you're an idiot. So BE PREPARED. Have a fire extinguisher, a gallon or two of potable water, fire/wool blanket...you name it. Take your time and DON'T get distracted!
If you're WAY ready for ANY emergency (say if the can blows up or something, you're READY). The more safety stuff you're ready with, the less likely you'll ever use any of it.
This is why I have at LEAST TWO tire gages and phone chargers PER CAR. One + a spare!
Thanks for your help I've come back to this video a couple times now.

Just wanted to say thanks...our 2009 Nissan Marano had nothing but hot air blowing. Wife wanted to drop it off at dealer. I read where it could be one of four things; Fuse, Clutch, Compressor or lack of refrigerant. I decided to look up something and found this video...plain, simplified, straight to point and easy.....BINGO...it was completely out, took a whole can but worked...Thanks...
You're welcome, thanks for sharing. Nice to know I'm helping folks out and glad ya got it done 👍

You're welcome, and thank you! 👍
Excellent instructions! Thanks Bro... got it right onto the 40 degree line 💯
You're very welcome, glad to hear I could help you get it cool again 👍
I don't understand the downvotes? Something's obviously wrong with you. Maybe you couldn't follow his instructions to the instructions to recharge the AC in your mama's car, which is probably a 1975 Toyota Corolla. This guy's video is awesome. He gets right to the point, shows you what you need to do and ends the video. This this isn't one of those videos where the guy or gal making the video has to talk for an hour about how their ice cream melted on the way home from Walmart because their AC wasn't up to snuff and how the kids got upset later and the other parent in the household freaked out. Straight to the point. You can't beat that! Thank you for the video. SUBSCRIBED!
Thank you for your kind words and for subscribing. Glad I could help you out 👍
1975 Toyota Carola’s didn’t come with A/C… that would be the Toyota Corona… and it until 1979. :)
Mine is a 96 Corolla actually 🤣
Great job with the video, short & simple for anyone to follow along! I got a question; I’ve read that the air within the hose that comes along with refrigerant can contains oxygen and water vapor that can damage the ac system. With professional installations where a vacuum pump is used to drain the system of any moisture this concern is non existent. Can you maybe explain whether that little air present within the hose is capable of causing damage and maybe provide an update on the car featured in this video? Thank you in advance and sorry about the excessively long question lol.
No worries about that tiny bit of air in the hose. This car's AC still works great. Have done this same process with no negative effects on many cars. Just be sure not to overfill as I mentioned and youll be fine. I also have a video on vacuuming system before. That way you can add back exact amount for car. Just use a scale 👍

Awesome. You're welcome, happy I could help you out 👍
Shaking the can is to mix in the lubricating oil and the seal conditioners, important parts of the system, especially if you're losing charge slowly over time
I was about to spend $180 at the mechanic today but I said to myself that makes no sense.. let me hop on UA-cam and see these car guys do it and holy fuck.. I'm bout to head up to Canadian tire and spend my $65
Glad I could help you save some money 👍 good luck
Same here, mechanic said 175 for me. Scammers
@@animal9470 nice save some money. They're not scammers. The job they'll do is a little more to it than this and more time. Vacuum and collect old refrigerant and then test system and refill.

You're welcome, glad I could help 👍
Quick question: Before I add the refrigerant, the reading is already in the red. Should I relieve some pressure and add it back? Thanks!
Make sure you check pressure reading with car on and AC on and blowing. It shouldn't be overcharged unless someone overfilled it

Thank you so much! We were melting in my moms car until this video🙏🤣
@@jasminejorge3344 You're very welcome, happy I could help you guys cool down during the heat 🥵 to 🥶👍🙌
bro you lowkey look like Jack Harlow 😂
Thanks, I used the whole can and temp only read about 60......should I get another or wait until later to fill it up?
If you used a full can and still somewhat warm, the system may have been really low. If system was completely empty you would need to vacuum out air, but if a little in it may just be low still. Should be sticker on inside of hood that'll tell you the ounces of refrigerant used for car, usually around 2 lbs (32oz) or less
You can slowly add more from another can until it gets to around 45-50 degrees, just go slow may only need 1/2 can more
Gonna try this
Straight to the point! Great video man
Thanks so much! Happy I could help out 🙌👍
Love your videos, thanks so much!
I’m blessed with a 2003 Toyota Corolla (original owner, always been garaged) that's NEVER needed any repairs (110,000 miles), but surely the A-C will start to get "tired."
While many components can fail, I'm guessing it's common for a pinhole leak to occur, in which case simply re-filling the system as you demonstrate does not fix the problem, only band-aid it.
And sure, "Judgment Day" is no doubt coming for my mighty Corolla's A-C system down here in South Georgia.
So, can you provide a link to any "leak remedy" product that you recommend (this would be after, of course, checking for any connections that worked themselves loose, then tightening them)?
Same question for any "system rejuvenation" products (I've been told that internal seals dry out, things get gunked up, etc., so if there's something relatively cheap that owners can do to rejuvenate their system before surrendering to a mechanic, I'm all in!).
I'm hoping that there's a refill product containing leak-plugging stuff in it (but maybe I'm just wildly fantasizing). I could swear I've heard of someone remedying their failed A-C system this way.
Thanks again!
You're welcome. Yes when a car gets older it usually starts slowly leaking out refrigerant from either worn O rings on all the various connections or from compressor itself. You can try adding some AC stop leak refrigerant when recharging if you have a very slow leak.
Here's a link to product Ive had luck with.
amzn.to/2DpUVOQ
And here's a link to a video I made demonstrating the proper way to use it.
ua-cam.com/video/6xbnUd649Es/v-deo.html
I have a 2000 Corolla with almost 300K on it ...all original and no major repairs thus far. Just plugs, injectors,. ignition coils and a valve cover gasket and an air intake gasket.
@@DougHinVA Same with my Chrysler
Toyota Corolla is not a car. It's a heavenly chariot that does not break down. - Toyota Corolla Matrix owner.
Follow directions on the can!
This doesn't show/tell that the vehicle should be in the shade, with all doors open and the vehicle started before beginning recharge. These are directions right on the can.
Thank you!!! Straight to the point.
You're very welcome, happy I could help 👍
Excellent DIY video, thanks!
Thank you and you're welcome! Happy to help 🙌👍
How do you know if it needs charged? Mine is blowing cool but not as cool as it once did. I'm so terrified to overfill I hardly added any.
If its still comfortably cool I'd leave it, if a little warm just add little bursts til cool 👍
One mistake You didn’t purge the house to get air out of the hose. That air in the hose has moisture so you put all that air into yr system. You barely squeeze the trigger until a little refrigerant is coming out then you connect it to the fitting
Thanks for sharing, yes you can purge the line 👍
Thanks for getting straight to the point
