Thank you so much! I am a 72 year old female and your instructions were so clear that I was able to recharge my AC completely by myself!😀. You saved me a bunch of $$ and boosted my confidence at the same time.

You don't want to tilt the can upside down or sideways. You only want gas going into the suction side of the compressor. When you tilt the can sideways or upside down you have the potential to introduce liquid refrigerant into the system which can damage the compressor. Fortunately, you only did it briefly in the video. Don't rush it, just let the gas flow. You can speed it up a little by putting your hand around the bottom of the can to warm it up which will push the gas out faster. Also, you need to be measuring outside ambient air temperature in front of the grill to get a better idea of what suction pressure you need. If the gauge doesn't have a dial for the outside temperature, then look up the R-134a low side pressure vs. temperature chart. You also should be monitoring the air temperature in the center vent to see your progress. Most BMWs shut down the compressor when evaporator outlet temperature reaches 36F to keep from freezing the coil, so don't keep adding refrigerant if you hit that temperature at the vent or you could over charge the system. I tend to error on the conservative side to avoid over charging and stop adding refrigerant if I see less than 40F at the vent. You can always add a little more later if you need to.

Great video; I've always been concerned about overcharging the AC in my BMW, but the numbers you provide give me a little more confidence.

[@thatguyjai]

THANKS

[@Levi-cx2to]

This was a great video and thanks for the tip. I have an 87 BMW 528e where I do get air that blows out but it is not cold but just a bit cooler than the warm air. I will give it a shot and replicate your steps and see if I get lucky.

[@thrillercakes]

Hi. Thanks for sharing. does it need to be synthetic? I have a bow 1x 2013 and it's blowing hot air. I found the can online, im in canada, but they dont say synthetic.

[@foreignshortyentertainment4037]

[@SleepyJoe408]

[@veronicabelmontez9194]

My passenger side blowing warm air, driver side cold. Can I try this? I have a 2011 X6

[@ThicGarage]

Theres different climate temp for passenger. Make sure you move both temp knobs when adjusting temp

[@leroymaldonado3315]

I need some help my 2013 bmw 535i ac was working 2 hrs ago I got in the vehicle once again and my ac was blowing hard as usual but was blowing out hot air all of a sudden i need help it’s currently 105 degrees outside

[@tractorback76]

Occasionally when your fan is bad your a/c won't blow cold. Make sure the fan is blowing and blowing strong

[@tr888unruly7]

Mines leaking wen add

First off! No windows where down, and doors opened, and you stop when it is in the green area!
