How to charge the car air conditioner

To load the air conditioning of the car we will need a series of devices that we can rent or buy. It is a relatively complicated operation, but we can do it ourselves if we do not want to leave our car in the workshop and disburse an amount of money that we can certainly invest in another issue. In .com, we explain how to charge the car's air conditioning .

The refrigerant bottle is connected to the charging hose and we open the low pressure valve, which will be used to charge the system.
