[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1016038, member: 52972"] My guess is that you have a leak in the system. The leak is sufficient that it leaked out rather quickly...not a slow leak. I never was very fond of those refrigerant recharging kits since if freon leaked out, air leaked in. That means that moisture in the air also leaked in and that can freeze and block orifice tubes and H-valves. I always recommend that you take the vehicle to a knowledgeable AC Tech and let them fix it. Yes, it's more expensive, but the job will be done right. The leak needs to be located and repaired. Then the AC system needs to be evacuated of all air and contaminates with a vacuum pump before fresh refrigerant and compressor oil is added back into the system. If you don't have a vacuum puimp and a R134 manifold gauge set, you are doing a half-a$$ job. And jobs done on the cheap, always end up being more expensive in the end. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
