How many points to recharge a/c from? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Ontheball! on  Sun May 23 03:08 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi

Was in the shop the other day for a recharge on my a/c.

The guy was very helpfull but said 850 models should have two recharge points one for a low pressure system and one 'normal'. He did a full evac and recharge from the point at the back off the engine bay but said there should be another point elsewhere. I have read that some points are near the diagnostics port (mine is at front of engine bay near screenwash).

Is he right - if so where are the 2 points??

    The recharge port in the '93 is back towards the firewall for the '94 model they moved it forward close to the washer fluid tank and where you can more easily scape the skin off your knuckles by the accessory belt if you aren't careful.

    Perhaps the change in locations is what he was refering to.

    No. There is only 1 charging port, located behind pass headlamp near washer fill neck. The only way to monitor high side pressures is with an obd scann tool.
