Heat it up so it turns into a vapor then dump it in thru the high side. You had the right idea just the wrong words. You dont wanna be dumping liquid into the high side.

[quote=“Violator,post:7,topic:31534"”] Just find out where the fuck the fucking Low side is for fucks sake. [/quote] There is no low side port on a 96. The only port available is the high side directly on the condensor. The only way to do it properly, without introducing a bunch of air, causing moisture problems, high pressures, and poor performance is to recover, evac and recharge with a machine. Seems to me like spending $150 is worth not having a bunch of problems in the long run ---

This is true, on the 93 - 95 Audi 90 (and 96 A4) the only accessible port is the High side, which is in the front when you open the hood and can only be charged with a high-pressure machine. [FONT=Arial] The low-pressure side, where you use the cans from the local store, is located on the core under the dash.[/FONT] ---

[quote=“jkucz28,post:12,topic:31534"”] and does anyone have a hook up at audi so i dont have to spend the 150 bucks [/quote] It doesn’t have to be the dealer. Any shop with a working 134 machine can do this. Should help out in costs a bit. I won’t have my machine for at least another couple of weeks, so no help here. ---
