Discharging A/C HOW????

Does anyone know how to discharge the A/C system, or do I have to take it to a shop or something. I plan to take mine out and swap it into my friedns car, can anyone help? ohh one more thing would the system have to be charged at a shop? thx


>>>>Sam

c'mon anyone

just push in the lil thing that looks like a tire stem

be ready
dont push it in with your finger, unless you want mega frost bite. and it will take a couple minutes atleast to discharge. Hell, i've straight up cut an AC line before and it was spraying hardcore for liek 2 minutes...

dont do it, take it to a shop and get it discharged. its illegal to discharge the ac into the air. dont destroy our ozone or enviornment just because u wanna save cash. think of our planet

fuck the planet, i just unbolted the lines going into the compressor, and it leaked out rather quickly.

People like you all are the reason we can't use R-12 refrigerant anymore :rolleyes:

u realize u live on this planet right. dont mess it up for the future generation

please, the 1/2 oz of r12 i let out wont do anything to the air, if your so planet loving, y rnt you driving a hybrid car?

plus we will all dead by the time any of our actions have any effect

I think you missed that part.

I see what he is saying, you do not have to agree with it crxlvr, but at least don't be a bastard about it and just say "fuck the planet"

even still a million years from now, when my actions will affect anyone, or the planet, no one will care.

yea, there are a bunch of ignorant people, very few do care. You also have to look where he is from, they take care of their shit out there, and it looks a hell of a lot better over in Hawaii than it does over here.

thats true, at least in HI, the air is clear and not like 10 shades of gray like in NY.

Sorry you guys saying to just discharge it are fucking losers. Fuck that planet. That's just straight ghetto shit. You wanna fuck up your own stuff go ahead, but I live here too so get off your lazy poor ass and have it done right. Ignorant bastards.

when our actions affect you in some way, then you can come crying back to these boards, no way am i paying someone 100+ bux to suck some refrigerent out of my car, when he will just turn around and use it in someone elses car at cost. thats just shady to me, i dont like shady people, or dishonest people for that matter.

now that is a good point

ok for all the tree huggin people why are u all into making ur car faster with all the shit u put on your car u are no better. so why dont YOU get off ur lazy broke ass and go buy an electric car or somethin. :bloated:

h4bangin, why don't you look at what you just said, "get off ur lazy broke ass", he could say the same thing right back to you all for not going and having your A/C discharged professionally. Have you ever been to Hawaii? Im sure they are not all tree huggin hippies, but they do watch what they do. Hawaii looks much better than any place I have been too on the mainland. Just let this arguement go, if you want to just discharge your A/C by yourself, go for it, whatever.

been to florida tony? looks almost as good as hawaii (or at least from the pics ive seen)

damn, forgot about york there, still thought you were messin with civickiller, couldn't have left him hanging.

And melt, yes I have been to Florida, wasn't as great at Hawaii. The pics you see of Florida are of the nice spots, which isn't everywhere. Hawaii is about the same all around the place.

tony got the back. thanks.

u know if it was only 1 person discharging there ac it wouldnt be so bad. but u say oh my 1 isnt gonna make a difference right, well if u got 1 million people saying oh my 1 isnt gonna make a difference right so why not do it. then u got 1 mill ac's being discharged then it makes a differences, so your one is just adding to the other numerous people who think there 1 isnt gonna make a difference.

think about it.

and if i could afford an electric car i would buy one, but i cant, so i drive a very fuel effcient honda, i still got my cat. its not like im runnin a straight pipe or anything.

yeah hawaii is nice, its about the same all around. but ive never been any place else so i got no comparison. in my town we got some mean vogged air. we get the air brought by the winds, from the active volcano. sulfur dioxide, u would see how clean it is after it rains and how dirty it is on an average day. on a clear day u can see about 3 other islands, on the dirty days, its hard to see a huge island 30 miles away, its really bad probably close to cali's air, but my town is the only one like that in hawaii

There was an earlier thread where CRXlvr didn't know anything about changing a clutch.
Now, it turns out he doesn't know there's a $25,000 fine for a licensed mechanic who dumps the freon out into the atmosphere.
I don't think he's really a licensed mechanic. If he is, he's professionally ignorant.

not to step on anyones toes ...


but the poplution problem of this planet is only really starting to take off in the last 100 years ... so if you think that your minor 1/2 oz of freon isnt going to do anything, thats exactly what everyone before you said. So please have a care. Frankly, your probly right it wont effect you but dont think it will take a thousand years for the problem to get bad, try something more like another 100. And dont even try to get on me for doing shit to my car to polute cause im in CA and they dont let shit slide here.

im mearly pointing out that ignorance is bliss ...


BTW florida is only nice cause they still have the everglades central to their state, if they deforested most of it like in CA then it wouldnt be so nice. The occasional hurricane and tornado and shit help to keep it clean too.

how do you expect us to get on you for doing shit to your car when its stock other than the sohc zc

Even I have dumped this shit into the air (on accident) I have blown 2 a/c compressors, each time leaked 1.9 lbs of r134a out.

find a post where i said anything bout changing clutchs, i dont drive one, never worked on one, so no i dont know how to do it, but im sure i could figure it out, i wouldnt give anyone false info tho.

as far as the mechanic thing, yes i am certified and i know its illegal to do it, but your 25,000 fine will be imposed onto a business if a mechanic is caught on the job doing it, not someone out in his backyard.

know your information before you post some bullshit like that again.

when i got in my accident, it punctured the AC line barely and it was sprayin strait up and i was like oh shit, MY FRIENDS WERE LIKE, "Are we gonna Blow up now?" they never seen AC shit spray, i was like cool!!!!! but i was like FUCK, i fuked up my car!!! okay, now back to u guys... i just thought i'd share! :D

i just hope the r134 is still on sale at walmart ... imma go buy some and hopefully I can put in the new compressor myself when it gets here

I agreed don't dump that stuff into the atmosphere.

I'm not 100% sure but most A/C shops will discharge your r12 system for a fee and give you a credit for the r12 they recover (because they recycle it) towards A/C repairs done by that shop. Check it out, it's worth a call.

And Melt, r134a will not damage the ozone layer like r12 does. (I think I have my facts straight.):)

Thanks for setting me straight, CRXLVR.
