Air Conditioner Question
#31
Hi guys,
I just bought '04 E350 with a little over 67k on it. The AC wasn't working at all, so I got a 12oz can of r134 and put it in. Prior to this, the ac clutch wouldn't spin, I got the pressure up to 35lbs and the clutch spun, but then it went back down to zero.
The guys at the parts store say I need 60oz of stuff in the thing to completely recharge it, how do I tell if I have a leak or if the little amount of stuff I put in the system just 'evened out' and I lost all that pressure again?

Doesn't matter. That's, what, close to 4 lbs? I don't think I've seen a vehicle that's called for more than 2.5-2.75 lbs. Most are around the 2 lb mark. Check under the hood, it will tell you

Well, the guy wasn't guessing, he looked it up on the store computer. But my question still is, is it leaking or was 12oz not enough to keep the pressure up?

Lots of information here.

I have not succeeded in getting a dealer to repair mine. They barely even look at it under its problem conditions/temperatures.
Good Luck
