Hello. I'm looking to recharge my ac with the at home kit, but I don't know where the lowside service port is. I have the haynes manual but the picture isn't even close to what my engine looks like. If anyone knows this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Ryan

4-Cyl: I don't know.

V6: The one up by the radiator is the High Side port. NEVER USE THE HIGH SIDE TO CHARGE! The low side port is located just in front of the firewall, behind the accessory belt routing. Since the A/C needs to be running while charging, be very careful not to let your forearm touch the belt while you are trying to get to the fill valve. I had problems charging mine until I bought the fill hose with the pressure gauge built in. I found that I didn't have the fill hose properly connected (it is somewhat difficult to attach) and I only discovered this when I saw that there was no low side pressure reading.
