Refrigerant System Charging Using an R-134a Refrigerant Center

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • Use of a refrigerant center is recommended to carry out recovery, evacuation and charging of the refrigerant system. If a refrigerant center is not available, refrigerant system recovery, evacuation and charging may be accomplished using a separate recovery station, vacuum pump, charging meter and manifold gauge set.
  • Leaks in refrigerant system equipment, hoses or gauges can cause a leak in vacuum that may be misinterpreted as a problem with the vehicle refrigerant system. It is necessary to leak-test all refrigerant system equipment, hoses and gauges on a weekly basis to verify that no leaks are present.
  1. Lubricate the refrigerant system with the correct amount of clean PAG oil. For additional information, refer to REFRIGERANT OIL ADDING .
  2. Connect an R-134a A/C center to the low-side and high-side gauge port valves following the operating instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer.
  3. Set the refrigerant charge amount, and charge the refrigerant system following the instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer.
