What Is The Full Charge For A/c In The Galaxy?

[Nick]

Does anyone know the weight in kg (or pounds) of a full charge of A/C gas for a 1997 GhiaX?

Thanks Fred for such a speedy response!

Now I've just come back from the car and I can't find a sticker regarding air con :(

I have a sticker giving car weights and an Air Bag! sticker and just a yellow sticker with 1,6 on it.

When you say 'slam panel' do you mean the door post between the front and back doors? Or where should I look?

You also mention Oil. Where do I check the level/refill the oil? What oil is it?

Sorry about all these questions. This forum is great. I ran a search a couple of years ago hoping someone had done something like this, but I didn't get any results back :( . Glad I found you all now :D

Just had my air con refilled and have a question. I know the air con has to be run on a regular basis to maintain it, but the garage said run it every day. This seems to be a bit excesive and impractical. Are there and 'experts' out there that can inform me if every day is correct or if not, what is a reasonable minimum? :(

I'm no expert but opion is once a MONTH to keep the seals and stuff flexible.

That's why I can't see mine - the front end was replaced a couple of years back when I failed to stop myself entering the rear end of a female Mondeo!

Fred, can I take it that the info you posted above was from your car? or was it from the TIS CD?

I have the car gassed by a friend in the A/C business and need to tell him what the full charge is. Does the TIS CD show any detail for the oil top off?

Thanks.

Now that I have the right amount of gas in the system (1.350kg) (Ford dealer told me it was 0.74kg!!!) penguins could live in it :rolleyes:

Fred, thanks for the line on the TIS CD...one day I may be able to find things on it :(
