Hey All,
A few weeks back I charged my AC system back up with R134A. I followed the instructions however the results were less than lacking. Fast forward 2 weeks later I got a good manifold gauge set. Heres my results:
Car Off
Low Side = 64 PSI
High side = PSI
Car On AC On
Compressor Engages
Low = 15 PSI
High = 85 PSI
Compressor Turns Off
Low = 40 PSI
High = 110 PSI
Once pressure on Low side reaches 15 PSI compressor turns on again at aprox 3 seconds on 8 seconds off duty cycle
I understand that at ambient 75 degrees The low side should read 35-45 PSI and High should read 150-170. Is this reading when the compressor cycles on. My gut tells me to add more, however i thought it would be in my best interest to see if there's any experts on the forums first:highfive:.
