HOW TO TOP UP AIR CON.. ASTRA J
#11
Hey just joined after reading your post, very informative. I felt my aircon was not as cold as it should be compared to other cars ive owned. so i purchased the same kit as you.
When going through the steps, i came up with a constant reading of 35psi. Which is well within the green. So i though ok strange ill top it up a bit.

So after 10 mins of trying to top up, i still get a 35psi reading?, even though i swear than can feels almost empty?

After playing for a while im getting about 40psi, which seems ok, but it does not seem to want to acccept any more than this. How did you get to almost 55 psi?

Weird thing is i swear its used the entire can, it feels empty now. But its defiantly cooler than before and running fine.

Just a question. Not tried this yet, but i was told you should bleed the system after to remove air, and stop when fluid appears. Is this true or leave as is?.

Regards J.
