Can't find where to recharge AC 02 s60T

Post by smarzig »

Sorry I bought the double size can and the gauge that came with it... but for the life of me I can't find where the quick
connect is, that would match what size the hose it.

I see something at the top of the engine that is about the size of a hair spray cap but that can't be it.

Is there a picture of this thing that would resemble an S60 somewhere.
THANKS !

MY AC pulley went bad last winter so thats why I have to fill it up I'm assuming since it got a used one.

See that little cap hidden there by the PS reservoir that says MAX 6 nm? There's your low-side port.

NOTE: If the system was completely drained, moisture is now in there, and it should be evacuated by a shop and recharged. The receiver/dryer should probably be replaced as well.

Say, does that cap screw off, or just pop off?

Thanks for the photo!

Screws off, should just do it with your fingers. Lefty loosy. If it's stuck, grab it with a set of pliers.

Great picture, helped tremendously. Now, I am hearing a hissing sound after A/C is turned off. The refrigerant I bought is supposed to seal any leaks. Does anyone know how long I should wait to make sure it's sealed?
