Ok....

From a purely Safety conscious point of view....If you dont know what the larger fitting is for, then you have No Business working with A/C. Think for a moment.....Freon makes cold air inside the car......If you hook up that can incorrectly, You will be frostbitten and blind by the time you read this.

I would never discourage Anyone from saving a buck by doing their own work, But A/C work is not the job to Learn on....It isnt worth your eyesight.

There is a specific VOLUME of freon that is added to an EVACUATED SYSTEM....Without the proper procedures and equipment, this is a disaster waiting to happen.

Because you have no idea how much freon is in the system. Undercharge it...it won't cool well. OVERcharge it...same thing. PLUS, if you don't know if your HVAC doors are working right or not, well then you're even more lost.

lol. i dont know why no body try to answer my questions. if you dont know guys be away.

some peoples they think just them smart and all the other gotta ****t in they mind.

ok

let me see if they goin to answer me here or no.

i have 3
chry 300 touring 2006
the A/c work ok but not really cold like the new cars.
i bought sub-zero from outo-zone with meter.
when i plug the meter i was about 25 psi
i start the car and the A/C with high power and the fan too.
i start charging the system with Shaking the flacon
and after 5 min and the meter was read about 40 psi i stopped charging
and i lfet the car workin about 15 min
the A/C better than before but not really cold.
next day i plug the meter to see if the pressure same or its less to make sure i dont have a leak in my system.
and it was same 40 psi.


so if the smart peoples can answer my question now ? and tell me what wrong and stop criticizes me! lol

if you guys ask me about computers and your question was stupid i never criticizes you ill answer you.

if you know about care thats mean you need some help about another stuff.

and this not to save money like how you think... its to make myself busy no matter what.

Nobody on this forum has seen your car, so can't give you a definate answer to your question.

I would suggest you measure the temperature of the air from your vents with air con running on a day when the outside temperature is at least 21C/72F. If it's below about 8C then it probably falls within the normal range for your a/c system.

I'm guessing the connector you mention above may be the high pressure service valve. You should not attempt to connect anything to it. You should only recharge on the low pressure valve with home kits (sounds like that's what you did)

I don't mean to criticise you....I have used the home recharge kits myself in the past. But I discovered it does not cost much more to get the job done properly at an a/c specialist, so I don't use home kits now.

The system should be vaccumed to remove all mosture, then charged with the exact weight of 134A as specified on the label under the hood.

There are many reasons why your a/c might not be as good as a new car. The condenser may be clogged with rubbish, evaperator temp sensor fault etc. Or maybe the a/c on the 300 is just not as good as on other cars you have been in. There can be quite a difference between systems in different cars.

First of all, Who criticized you.??? I never said your question was stupid, I simply pointed out that if you didnt know enough about the system you were working with , that it is quite hazardous. There are specialized tools and equipment that MUST be Used and Procedures that MUST be followed, which CANNOT be accomplished with "HOME" cans.

As for "GO AWAY If I dont know"...I have been working on 2006 300c since 2005 , so there is No doubt in my mind that I know your car, and ......You came HERE ASKING A QUESTION.....If you didnt get the answer you wanted, Maybe you should be the one to Go AWAY.....

If you want an answer...go buy a vacuum pump, evacuate the system, Buy a Manifold Gauge set, and charge the system to specified capacity. Then run the system and Post back the pressures on Both Gauges.....

Gee....

I thought I was being nice by trying to save you from personal injury..

Did you know....If you OVERCHARGE that system with a "HOME" can....The can will explode in your face???? What do you think will happen to your eyes, when they are instantly frozen, and your face is FROSTBITTEN????

I can tell you first hand, because I have seen it happen, to the guy that worked next to me for 13 years.....YOU WILL BE BLIND.....FOREVER.

As for My father owning the site...No he doesnt...and Frankly I dont care if you come here or not. But I wouldnt go to a"Computer site" for the first time and tell anyone to "GO AWAY" if they wouldnt give me the answer I WANTED TO HEAR.

If you had asked about a water pump, or a Fuse, or the location of a Heated seat Module. OR..

If you had posted an example of the "HIGH" + "LOW" A/C operating Pressures., I would have Gladly given you an Opinion to the best of My ability.

Understand something....If I were to say that the car needs MORE freon...And That can were to BLOW UP ON YOU.....You would be Blind....And I would be responsible.....
I would rather give you the honest answer, than see you injured.....

DO you still think I should Go AWAY???
