A/C question

[Wild Bill]

I admit to being 'mechanically challenged'

I had read about how easy it was to top off your freon with one of the Wally World kits. I bought one this weekend and tried to but when I hooked it up the pressure on the low side was around 100. Anybody got any ideas about what this means? It was WAY in the red per the gauge.

Thanks

Bill

Bill,

Did you turn the car on, and blow the AC on full-blast? If so, and you are STILL at 100psi, then someone overfilled your system. Send me an email with your number, and I can talk you through it. I've filled several cars up with the Wally World kit. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it...

I thought you had to be a certified tecnician with EPA clearence etc to buy old fashioned freon now a days
