    sorry for the thread jack... you take it to a place that has a way to evacuate the system and fill it with freon.. if its not working that is probably what is wrong.. unless you have leaks or other issues.

    A/C is not really a do it yourself kinda thing with all the laws about freon collection (global warming). I have tried to fill it with the freon you buy off the shelf at local auto parts store.. didnt work because they are pressure sensitive.

    good luck

    the AC lube is neon green...almost like old fashioned antifreeze. It may appear clear on a painted metal background, but it's glow-in-the-dark green. When the front main seal goes in an A/C compressor, it'll often drip/leak for a short time, before the A/C goes hot...good luck, The compressor is pricey
