Can someone post pictures or tell me how to charge my AC unit in my 01 MDX ? I understand it is not too difficult.. I have bought a couple cans of replacement 134A's called EX12's. Does anyone have any input on this replacement types?

The dealer wants to charge me $150 to charge it.

Thanks

EX12 is a "drop-in" substitute for 134a. What is the flammability rating listed on the container? If it's flammable, it may be illegal. Even if not illegal, it may be really dangerous.

First, you need to get a pressure gauge kit from either Walmart or Pepboys & a couple of REAL 134a feon cans. the low pressure port is located on the passenger side with the letter, "L" on the plastic cap, unscrew the cap & measure the port with pressure gauge to see what reading is it, 50psi indicated fully charged, if not charge one can at a time & take reading again. DO NOT OVERCHARGE, relieve the pressure by inserting a point metal into the tip of the port in a well ventilated area ( It's illegal to discharge feon to the atmosphere). see attached instruction.
