How Often Do You Refill Your AC Gas? by sinorte(op): 3:45pm On May 28, 2019
My understanding is that one is not supposed to refill car AC gas more than once in a year. Could this be true?

I drive Civic 2013 and my AC has always ran out of gas every three months. Could it be that there's something wrong with one of my AC components?

Kindly enlighten me please.

You have a leak, I suppose. AC gas is supposed to last years.

Once a month

After an exhausting and grueling months of tracing leakages, I settled for monthly refills

Where could this possible leak be coming from? I fear giving the job to a quack that will now start handling with the condenser, compressor etc

How can we make money from your research? since we know there is a problem we can device a solution and make money from it. Am thinking

1. compiling the research into a business plan and selling to an entrepreneur

2. opening a YouTube for AC diagnosis for Nigerians promoting it and getting paid from subscribers.

3. Start a small AC diagnosis and fixing workshop we can do it Saturday and Sundays get 3 clients per week, they pay 5k for diagnosis and up to 30k for fixing (refill and leakage), we don't need to do the job we can outsource to kazeem (cheaper labour cost) we just monitor and direct them.

what do think smiley we can get our capital from that BMW-V12-2.5M engine code grin

AC is a sealed system so you don't have to refill it unless there's a small leak.

The a / c is a simple solution, most cases the compressors are bad ... even tokunbo compressor you get is not guarantee to work. From experience I had to change my compressor three times before taking it to Radauto.. I finally bought a compressor via ebay for $55.00 and a / c dryer for $18.00 ..got it fix and since than the a / c is chilling like Canadian weather.. A lot of people end up buying low quality to fake a / c gas .. If you know, you know...
