Product Information
Full details
The Aircontopup Car Aircon Regas DIY Kit is designed for automotive enthusiasts and competent DIYers looking to restore factory-level cooling performance to their vehicles. By combining 168g of R134a refrigerant with a 112g leak sealer, this kit effectively replenishes cooling levels while addressing minor seal-related leaks within the system. While it provides a professional-grade solution for maintenance, it is important to note that this kit is strictly for R134a systems and is not compatible with modern R1234yf air conditioning ports.

FAQs
Can I use this on a car with R1234yf?
No, this kit is exclusively designed for R134a systems and will not fit R1234yf ports.
How do I know how much to add?
Use the provided pressure gauge to monitor the system. Follow the color-coded zones on the gauge to keep pressure within the manufacturer-recommended range.
Does the leak sealer work on cracked hoses?
The sealer is designed for minor leaks in seals and O-rings. It will not fix large holes, split hoses, or damaged condensers.
Is the hose reusable?
Yes, the professional-grade hose and pressure gauge assembly can be kept and used for future top-ups.
What if my AC compressor does not turn on?
If the compressor does not engage, there may be a mechanical or electrical issue beyond a simple refrigerant top-up, and you should consult a professional mechanic.
Troubleshooting
The gauge reads in the red zone immediately
Stop immediately. The system is overcharged or has a blockage; do not add more refrigerant.
Cannot find the low-pressure port
Refer to your vehicle's service manual to identify the AC low-pressure port, which is always on the suction side of the compressor.
Refrigerant will not enter the system
Ensure the AC compressor is actually engaging. If the compressor clutch is not spinning, the system may be too empty to trigger the switch, or there may be an electrical fault.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, locate the low-pressure service port on your vehicle—this is typically marked with an 'L' and is located on the thicker aluminum tubing in the engine bay. Ensure your vehicle specifically uses R134a; you can usually find this information on a sticker under the hood.
- Shake the can well before connecting.
- Attach the manifold hose to the refrigerant can.
- Connect the quick-connect coupler to the vehicle's low-pressure port.
- With the engine and AC running, slowly dispense the contents while monitoring the gauge.
- Disconnect and store the reusable hose in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight after use.
