AIRCONDITIONING DIY REFILL
Only attempt this if you are mechanically knowledgeable.
- The airconditioning connections are under the car on the driver side of the engine about 1 foot before the engine. Remove a small triangular diamond shaped panel just next to the rear jacking points.
- There are 2 solid steel lines coming out of the airconditioning compressor. Each has a port with a black or coloured cap. Usually these caps are colour coded but Lambo did not do so on their cars. You need the low pressure line, which is the one closer to the front of the car.
- Redtek says, connect their hose to the can and then the car and then open the valve. My first attempt failed for 2 reasons. Firstly, I punctured the can early and had the refrigerant leak out (not supposed to leak until you unscrew the valve but their system is a little iffy there. Secondly, I assumed all my refrigerant leaked out due to a leak (Redtek sells various leak stopping products I planned on using). To my surprise the system was still under a lot of pressure so I had to release the pressure by connecting the hose and opening the valve with no can attached. (there was no refrigerant, I had my hand feeling the air come out, not at all cold).
- Once I purged the system, I connected the can, started the airconditioning full blast, and opened the valve. After about 5 minutes the can was no longer cold (can empty) and I disconnected it.
- Start enjoying the cold airconditioning.
