Has Anyone Recharged Their Car's A/C With This Product?
 
http://acprocold.com/about/

I rarely use the A/C in my car, but when I turned it on the other day, I noticed that the supply air wasn't nearly cold enough. I can feel the compressor kicking in and the fan is obviously working, so I'm thinking about giving it a try rather than taking it in for an anal-raping service.

Thanks.

Take it to a pro and retain both of your hands and all of your fingers.

That product in particular? No. But it's just normal 134a refrigerant. A/C Pro is just the marketing the shit out of a product that's been around for decades.

You can find cheaper solutions that do the same thing. What I'd recommend is get a quality r134a hose, and just buy the cheap refill bottles. You can do the same thing for about half the price of the A/C Pro version. And you'll be able to use the hose with any refill bottle you want.

Yes, I'll admit that is a concern. I was holding a wrench in my hands once working on my Spitfire and somehow managed to touch both ends of it to each of the battery terminals.

Very unpleasant.

Good thing you weren't wearing a ring

I once huffed this product.

Thanks, but I'm not the handiest person the world.

In light of new evidence, I'd like to change my response.

Take it to a pro.

Go to Autozone, buy a can of all one a/c recharge, follow directions. Quite easy. It comes with can/hose/meter and it takes about as much skill as being able to plug an air pump into a bicycle tire.

He's right about this being a marketing thing, though.

Go to any auto-parts store and they will have that exact product on the shelf under a different name. It's extremely easy to use and if you drive your car in, they'll find the proper nozzle for you and show you how to use it.

Just drive to the nearest Napa or O'Reilly and you'll be fine. If you look especially pathetic (and I'm positive by your posts that you do), they'll probably just do it for you.

AC pro makes it as simple as it gets. If you can't figure it out, I recommend turning in your man card

True as long as you don't mix the high and low pressure ends up.

The high & low side ports are different sizes making it impossible to mix them up

Well that is a good thing. It has been years, but when I was knocking out Honda's they were the same size. I did a lot of them back in those days and never screwed one up.
