Recharging Cavalier AC in Europe + Sealer
Friday, June 17, 2005 5:40 AM
i have a 99 Z24 in Europe, i'm dying in the heat and and my window motors quit working. My AC hasn't worked in a year, it was fine when i brought the car here, now just the light comes on, but the compressor does not engauge. Im thinking of taking it to a AC place around here to have it recharged, i just dont know what to tell them about how much ac goes into the system. I'm missing that sticker that says how many pounds of R-134a it needs. Also if you can tell me in Kilo's intead of pounds. They don't use pounds here, only kilograms system.

Also i have a can of AC Leak sealer, I bought it from a mechainc a while back when my ac quit in my fiero, i never used it, its a can with a hose and knob. I heard it works really good, i want to put it in just incase there is a small leak in my system. Do you guys recomend using this? and how much of it?

Refrigerant Capacity - 0.68kg

Refrigerant oil distribution
Accumulator - 90ml
Compressor - 80ml
Condenser - 30ml
Evaporator - 60ml

If the compressor doesn't cycle it can be due to a number of reasons. If the A/C system is very low, then the compressor will not kick on. About the sealer, you shouldn't use it until the system is checked, and then filled. If it leaks again, then try it. Be careful not to overfill the system. Severe damage can result.
