Go to autozone and ask for a can of: R134-A. Make sure to get a can with hoses and a gauge. Don't let the pressure build up to much. make sure you hook it into the right connection. Its the metal hoses right by the radiator. -------------- Its usally a pretty easy job, especially if you get one of the kits with the gauge in it. They can be found at autozone, etc. The connectors are pretty smartly done. This thing will only connect to a low pressure port on your car. You are looking for a blue or gray cap on one of the A/C lines with an "L" on it. ------------------ Locate the Low Pressure Side service port. It is usually on the driver's side of beside the engine block. Remove the black cap marked L. Look at the connector type to determine if your car uses R134 refrigerant. The R134 compatible systems have a quick connect valve on the Low Pressure Side. ----------------- Hope this helps.Thanks.

Where is the low pressure port on 2003 peugeot 206
the fittings sizes were deliberately changed during manufacturer to stop the deliberate use of the wrong refrigerant in the system
ac systems do not need recharging unless there is a leak and that means that the leak has to be fixed first other wise the recharge is a waste of money
get an accredited ac specialist shop to do the job and save money.

Mazda6 ac recharge valves
the correct one should be smaller, and your recharge hose should be only able to connect to it. the smaller fitting is the low side, and the larger fitting is the high side. recharge only to the low side. the high side is used by technicians with elaborate ac manifold guages to monitor success. these guage kits can be bought at harbor freight for about 55 dollars,and give a better recharge,as you can regulate pressure as not to overfill, which lessens the cooling

When putting freon in my 01 saturn there is a high input valve and a low input valve, which one do i put the refrigerant in/
You put the freon on the low side, it may have a blue cap to let you know its the suction side.

its usually closer to a long round canister called the dryer or accumulator. when putting freon

make sure to run your ac on high while you are recharging the ac. good luck!

Where do we put freeon for the air conditionner
There are only 2 fittings on your ac system. The low side is the one you put in refrigerant (r134a). It is the smaller sized fitting usually located on low side hose that connects to receiver dryer (looks like a can on passenger side firewall). The quick connect fitting on any recharge hose will only fit on this correct fitting. The other one (high side) is too large to fit. So you cant put it in the wrong one.

AC booster recharge hook-up
You can only attach the the recharge hose from the kit to the low side ( A/C service port) and the cap should be blue with a leter L on it. Good luck and follow the instruction and don't over charge the system. With the AC on the coldest setting, use a thermometer in a middle vent. Normal vent temperature readings will vary depending on the (ambient) outside temp. The vent temperature should range from around 42-55 degrees in my experience. If normal gauge readings are obtained and the vent air is cold - STOP don’t overcharge the system. The only proper way to remove refrigerant is with a AC recovery machine so if this is being done at home I can’t emphasize enough not to over charge the system. And actually the best way to insure the proper charge is in a system, is to use an AC machine to recover the R134a and then evacuate and recharge the system with the correct amount. Most cars have the specified amount on a decal under the hood.  Good luck and hope this helps.

Air conditioning
some parts stores sell recharge cans of 134a. most ppl believe that the ac unit in a car naturally loses charge over time. big myth an ac unit is sealed nothing can get in or out with out there being a leak. before you waist time recharging it yourself find the leak either a loose fitting or a bad O-ring in one of the snap fittings i highly recommend taking it to a ac technician so that it can be properly evacuated to remove any moisture or other contaminants that may be in the system.
