Default I've been looking over the A/C on the coupe...

I think it might be a little low, would the pressure indications have any obvious indicators as to a low or high charge level? Right now, with the compressor cycling I have 15-55 PSI on the low side and 100-115PSI on the high side. IIRC that's a little low. I can charge it here at work so I was thinking about recycling the whole batch. Hmmm. Experience?

Default So here's the deal in case anyone was wondering.

I talked with a tech yesterday and he said that the pressure was a little low and it might be working intermittently or I might see fluctuations in temp depending on the system pressure. He is right. So I think I'm going to top up the charge on it today and see how that works.

If possible I might evacuate the system and recharge. We'll see how it works.

Default a/c charge

your guage reading should be around 30 psi low side and 200-250 high side. these are approx figures but see what your reading are at after putting a full charge in. does your a/c feel like its not cooling well after operating it for a while or on really hot days? someone asked me about that on a 90 cq but everytime i drove it, it seemed great. i actually turned the temp up from the low setting some. just wondering if that was a common problem.
