I need to recharge my volvo's ac, can I buy a DIY recharge kit. If so which one should I get?

Get one with a pressure guage built into the hose.

Try this product, its called Dura Cool. Manufactured in Canada it's environmentally friendly, so if you have a leak all you have to worry about is charging it every summer. It also takes 1/3 the amount of a regular refrigerant. I charged my AC this summer and its ice cold (much better than my 2005 mountaineer)

I went back to search for older threads about this product (DuraCool) because I thought I read that someone else had tried it and although had initial success, it didn't work out and they ended up re-charging with the recommended R134 (or what ever it is for '94's and beyond). I would research this product more before using. Anyway here is the link that had good thongs to say about but please consider what I said above about the negative stuff.
