I think this is a question that is on the minds of a lot of new vehicle owners, especially owners that are used to servicing their own vehicles. Can you service R1234yf AC systems as a DIYer?
In this video I offer my take on this question and also offer helpful advice on servicing AC systems in general.

I've been 609 certified since 2004. But i'm still not going to buy this crap. When you research how this came to be, it's a simple money grab with an exclusive fast and loose patent deal with DuPont and the EPA. It's B.S. They hold the exclusive patent on this meaning they can set the price at whatever they want. They had the opportunity to renew the patent on r134a but chose not to. This refrigerant is the result of greed and corruption. DuPont paid off the EPA to make this exclusive patent the national standard. Just FYI, RV refrigerant is virtually identical to this stuff "wink wink". But i don't like most new cars anyway and have no plans to ever own any of them. Maybe that makes me an old geezer stuck in my ways. But i'm ok with that. Me and my friends restore old cars. Working on a 66' Mustang at the moment. If they pass a law that says i can't drive these anymore, i don't know what i'd do. Life wouldn't be worth living. :/
Camper fridges are crazy cold. When I use propane on my camper fridge I can use it as a freezer.
Just got 609 certified, they dnt want us flushing systems anymore, used evaporaters can no longer be reused, Europe is introducing 744 CO2 as a refrigerant (2000 psi) xD so yea anybody that works on HVAC systems is gonna need multiple RRR machines
Thanks for your knowledge and honesty when you educate your followers on topics like this. Just hard not noticing how much your beard needs grooming. Anyway, keep up the good work.
ive been using r152a in my cars for a bit now and it performs very well get ice cold a/c and there's hardly any noticeable power consumption using it as there was with r134a. yes its air duster. i dont know if it would work with r1234yf but it works great in r134a and r12 systems
Just a money maker for the shops. What a pain in the ass. Guess I'll never buy a new pickup.
i won't by a new car. I'll wait till they get all the problems fixed.
1234 You're F#^*+%
Haven't had a/c in any of my vehicles I'm fine without it
I work for a all makes shop and we were the first non dealer to get r1234yf recovery machine and this new refrigerant is very difficult to work with you can have a low charge and pressures look normal and in canada the 10lb bottle shop cost is 800 canadian pesos
