    I am not surprised--i look at it this way--the Swiss make automatic time pieces with roughly 100-150 parts--if the Swedes make the same watch it would have 400 parts....just not really thought through but works great.

    My A/C took a dump yesterday. Recharged today, which went ok, but now the passenger side is still blowing warm.

    Still astounded at how ridiculous it is that the one you need to use to refill it is under a greasy tube and near some moving belts, and the one you don't touch is up front with easy access.

    Just to be precise: the port that a dealer or a/c shop (with the expensive gear) will use is the one up front with easy access; the port for the DIY guy is the hard to access one.

    I realize this is an old thread, but reading this has made me feel better about recharging the A/C system in my 2004 XC90 (155k+ miles) myself. I've been having to get it recharged every 2 years or so, and would like to do the work myself this time around.

    Question on the R134 product though - looking in AutoZone and Walmart, all the R134 products list some kind of "leak stop" additive. I've read many warnings against using sealers, so I'm wondering if the sealers combined with R134 are any good. Anyone have any feedback?
