ck your ac dryer peep hole. if you see bubbles when the ac is on, that means your low a freon.

The dryer is right next to the stock IC and infront of the Batt. It has a clear round peep hole on top to check for bubbles.

The less the better.

Be careful running the compressor too long. If your really low on refrigerant, you'll also be low on lubrication.

i thought i read somewhere that the FD a/c system is a closed system that should not have to be recharged. Only a leak would make you recharge it. My a/c stopped working because i have a leak, just too lazy to fix it.
