Refrigerant location?
Hey Folks,
Looking for the location of the refrigerant refiller ... can't find it. Car is a 2.2 if thats any matter. Searched, but to no avail.
Thanks.

look for the metal lines, if you cant find them turn on ur AC and feel for what gets cold.
There are 2 visible valves on it, they look like big shrader valves.
Im pretty sure the lo pressure is on the top by the passenger side firewall and the High pressure is by the front drivers side headlight. turnon ur AC full blast and just plug in.

Okay, thanks!
The valve on the metal line by the firewall doesn't get cold, nor does it connect to the 134a line... I was told it is under the car at Autozone?

ur lines might not be getting cold becuase ur regriderant is so low it has tripped the sensor, in which case they would not get cold.
there really the big metal lines in the engine bay.... let me see if i can find a diagram or something

i forget if thts the high or low. 100% sure thts where i put my refridgereant. You can use a small tool to test the port for pressure. the other valve is by the firewall.
u can clearly see the other one in the pic as well.
its rite next to the passenger side strut tower
