Regal Air Conditioning

Hello All,

I have a `98 Buick Regal GS Series II 3800 V6 Supercharged.

I have to recharge my AC unit, and haven't dont this for many years.

Any suggestions or links to do it properly.

Thanks for your advise !

What are your symptoms? Did you find the leak? I would leak test it before wasting any R134a refrigerant. If you plan on DIY you can check refrigerant charge and recharge at the low side port located at the firewall.

'91 Regal 270 Km.

I thought I was the only one who did this, but I met a guy recently when I was charging my system so I plied him with questions and he said, " I have 2 older cars and each year I pump in 1 Can of leakstop and then recharge them", and that is my story going back even to the late '80's with a newer model Skylark. I get all my stuff from Frosty Freeze on Ebay including a gauge. (He has some "How too's there too") 2 1/2 cans usually does it, and you know things are working when you first hear the compressor kick in early into the first can.

Also for those out there with Freon systems, I have used R-134a type fluid for 2 years and NO disaster has occured, altho' my supplier now has a Freon 12 substitute.

Here is a forum anyway for your perusal:
