Theres a common misconception that DIY AC work is prohibited but thats just not true. If you are not a licensed business and you are working on your personal car you are A-OK in the eyes of the epa. These rules apply to commercial people only. So dont be afraid to work on your own stuff the epa isnt coming for you. I promise. Now if youre jiffy lube and youre letting the stuff into the atmosphere on every car youre gonna get hugeeeee fines and possibly jail time.

Thanks for the good advice. I wish I had known about this before I sold my last car. The only reason I sold it, as I had an AC leak that leaked out in about 2 months. The garage said I needed to replace 3 parts of my AC for a cost of 5K. I was planning on replacing the car in the next year. But ended up having to get rid of it early. You need AC in South Florida.

Hey Scotty I have only worked on Volkswagens up to 2007, and I dont think your prosedure will work on those cars as they have a low pressure sensor, so when the refrigerant level is low, the compressor will not run. How do you fix that? Rune Waltoft from Norway

I insulated the ac lines under the hood and going to the rear climate controls on my 2003 GMC Yukon Denali and the air coming out of the vents is 30 degrees Fahrenheit just idling when its 90 out and the system has never been recharged or touched since I bought it new in 2002.

Scotty, you have the best channel on cars Ive found Dont ever quitMy AC runs cool, its not low on freon, I checked the pressure and its ok. The fans inside and out blow fine. Its just not really cold coming out the vents. No bubbles in sight glass.

Any can of AC sealer as said THE AC COMPRESSOR SHOULD BE RUNNING WHILE INJECTING. Your video evacuates the system and has you inject with the compressor not running because there is no charge util you fill in after sealer injection. What gives?

Great tip Scotty, I have one of those small leaks in my AC that takes several weeks to show signs of low refrigerant. It was diagnosed to be leak in the interior, would cost more than the car to fix. I think I might give this product a shot.
