If the condensor was missing like not on for a long time you might want to replace the acumulator drier and add oil to it. Good time to replace what ever o rings you can get to easy. I have a set of guages and a air operated vaccum. If you have all the hard stuff done vaccuming the system and charging it is not a big deal.

Ok thanks. Ill look into the accumulator. Still need a place to charge it.

need to pull a vacuum (evacuate the system) before you charge it or you wont be using it very long.....

fordman00 · 07-19-2012, 09:41 PM

Can I do that myself or should I let a shop do that?

If you can't find someone on here to help ya with that then let a shop do it but most shops wont work on a system that they didn't do the work on. Or at least that's how it used to be
