thank you very much. My wife just had a very bad day, and she said her AC went out in the heat. I wanted to learn how to fix it for her as a surprise for when she goes to work tomorrow.

[g_sandoval]

So easily, you just saved me from heat, thank you!

WOW, what a very informative video!!! I have the same exact car and checked out your video and duplicated what you did and we have ice cold air!!! If I’m not wrong I believe that if the air starts getting cool and not cold in a short amount of time you can put the gauge on to see if is losing pressure and possibly have a leak..

[shuhnellx]

Thank you so much!! I did not want to go to a mechanic and be charged up the ass when it’s something so simple as this. Really appreciate the tutorial. 😁🙏🏼

[paulkardasz]

Great video. I am doing this tomorrow. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

[JoseMRodriguez-kwuz]

Great video....thank you for your efforts on these, greatly appreciated.

[chrisfields]

Really appreciate your real honest approach to explain everything. I have a 2013 forte and added a can, but I think I didn't put enough in it.
I still had warm air coming out and the motor was reving up to about 2k rpms and drop back to normal. The engine stopped horsing the rims when I shut the ac off.

[lcbrightstar]

Wow how simple is that... And to think a mechanic shop wanted to charge me $159 plus tax to charge my AC. I'm going to Auto Zone and doing it myself smh

[LanNguyen-ondi]

Thank you ! helped me so much and saved me some money too

[kylahsam]

Doing this tomorrow ❤. Thank you ! I have the same car so I need to get it done

[blueheavensince]

Great video, definitely subscribing. Im going to get a can on payday. I have a 2016 rio sedan 105k. I already replaced my cabin and air filters. And my compressor belts are running. Ac just stopped blowing cold air. Ive never serviced the ac during the 80k ive put on it. hoping just only needs a recharge.😊

[alexmerida]

[arturocontreras]

[RPK]

Luv your video man its really easy to understand the process gonna try on my forte...many thanx

My car AC is throwing hot air more than the normal even without AC on. When I keep fan on 1 and temperature at max without AC on it is throwing lot of heat than usual. What might be the reason?
Thank you

[adieislas]

Thank you for sharing this video. How can we tell if there's some type of leak? How often does a 2013 kia rio need freon added?

[yhyaalree]

I have a question, I have the one with the blue Ac pro, the temperature is 40c and above. When I measure it, it is above 60 or 70 PSI, is it normal?
