Does anyone know something about AC Pro?

[Lorenzo]

Hey i saw a commercial for this and was wondering if anyone has tried this? My 86 Monte carlo Has AC but it doesnt blow cold air, so wondering if i recharge the system using this would it fix it? Thanks!

well, It might for a little while, but if its not blowing cold right now that means the system has leaked out all the freon. you are gonna need to find and fix the leak first. I also recommend replacing the Drier before recharging it. and your gonna need to pull a vacuum on the system to remove any moisture before charging it.

Its not to hard to do all this, it just sounds like a lot to do.

A/C Pro is most likely only compatible with HFCs like 134a. I would not put it in a car that had r-12 (all G bodys).

The above post was good advice, just change it with r-12 after replacing the dryer and dehydrating, you will know if it leaks when you pull a vacuum. If it does have a leak, get some dye that is compatible with mineral oil, and charge with dry nitrogen to find the leak with a black light.

I know enough about Automotive AC, That I would not touch that stuff with a thirty foot pole. Just go in your bathroom and flush whatever that stuff costs, down your toilet. You will be money ahead.

Cause if everyone could fill there own ac they would u need the right equipment I tried similar stuff in my el years ago and it overcharged the system and blew the compressor

Because It has a Oil charge with the 134-A, And it most likely will over charge the system with too much oil and refrigerant. It Will cause a problem with the pressures and crash the System.
Besides most AC systems that wont cool Have a Leak and need Hard parts replaced.
IE:... It's just a wast of money with a Slick Commercial.
90/% of people that use it will cost themselves more money in the long term.

So it's just like a lot of the other stuff on the shelf then? Nothing specifically bad about that particular brand. I haven't seen the commercial or care about any claims they make. Just wanted to be sure there wasn't something majorly wrong with the product.
