    If your gauge set does not come with the temperature pressure scale you can go online and get a r-134a temperature pressure chart and use that for your diagnosis work.
  • @drsundgren
    Just what I was originally looking for to understand what was happening. Understanding that there are different pressures depending on whether or not the A/C is running seems crucial for any newbie DIY A/C charging. Wish it was included more on A/C charging vids. Thanks for this great video.
  • @supercrazysane
    So some five years later after this tip was recorded and in a sunny and hot London I attempted to recharge the A/C on our BMW Mini. Using static readings I couldn't get the A/C working and was about to give up. Watched this tip and tried again, was simple to do (clearly the static readings were way off) and all working fine - thank you !!!

    I really appreciate your videos. For several years you have helped keep my old 2010 Focus going like a champ. I do some "easy" work myself, but even for things I don't do myself, it's helped me understand enough that I can communicate effectively with my current mechanic about what my problem is and my theory of what might be broke.

    I watch very many video's on YouTube on many different disciplines. Your video are some of the very best I have seen and extremely educational. You are doing a great service to everyone who watches your videos. Thank so very much.
  • @Fireship1
    All good points. Excellent video Brian.
  • @user-zr5qi8hi8m
    Love your videos BUT it’s definitely not totally worthless because the static check will tell you if you have refrigerant in the system which is a great way to start your T/S. Won’t tell you if it’s a full charge but will tell you if you’re empty.
  • @reyreyna3555
    Lot of great videos... i always new abiernt temp affected pressures and one else talks about it. also didnt know the low side not affected by temp...
  • @williamvaughan1218
    love those compressor control valves that fail and they say you must replace the compressor. Nope just changed the valve on a 2015 festiva for a intermittent no cooling. Works great.

    Thanks for the video!!! I wish I would've been able to see the reading at the end of video. What was it?
