Recharge Air on my 01 Prius

Joekingiam · 09-05-2007, 10:09 AM

Hey,
I recharged my air and there was a popping sound underneath and small amounts of recharge coming out. Medium cool to warm air out of vents, thats why I re-charged.
Overfull, major leak or what? Compressor? Any ideas?

you could have overcharged it, u need to loook at the sight glass to the right of the inverter on one of the lines, make sure its clear, once the sight glass is clear that means you have the right amount of refrigerant.
