Re: Coolant disposal? everyday is earth day
i already checked it and its charged. i got the car last summer and the PO
said that it was recently recharged. i called around and no one can help me
unless i bring the car to them. there are a few more a/c people in the
phonebook for me to try but past that...?????
it seems that the majority of people who get rid of the a/c just let it out.
thats kindof scary.
