    Ok so i went to firestone in CR today and had my AC checked out becuase its gonna be warm and i want some cold air! HAHA anyways they told me that the pervious person had maybe put in some kind of sealent and they couldnt vacume out the old stuff because it would mess up thier equiptment. Anywho i was charged only half of the diganostic fee (so only paid $20). I thought scince it is pressurized that i could just get a bottle with the guage on it and fill it myself. Which plug to i fill though! Thanks i think its the one with the arrow!!??? Thanks for the help

    I am pretty sure the do-it-yourself cans will only plug into the high side.. well only one of the sides anyways...

    do not plug into the cap with the H on it. Back behind the intercooler is the port. It should have an L on it. Or it's the one next to your wiper tank. Use that one. Good to go.

    That's what I was thinking...he has an STi according to his signature. That's why I said behind the intercooler...and the cap should have an "L" on it. That's all you really need to know. Trying to pressurize the High-Pressure Hose, is only going to lead to disaster...that is, if the R134-A can can even hook up to the High-Pressure Hose.

    I'm gonna' go with yes. The one with the arrow. The hose connecting to the condensor will be the high pressure hose, and you don't want to connect to that one.

    I have few answers that are correct. But it just so happens that I had to fix various aspects of my AC system. So I learned what was what. :)
