I just bought a 2002 Eclipse for my son who is getting out of the Marines in a couple of weeks. The AC works but seems like it could be a little better than it is. Can anyone here check the system for me and charge it up if necessary? I'll buy the materials and beer !!!

Can you bring it to Hackeydad's on 7/16/11 with a can of 134A and a straw? We can give it a check up and recharge it for you.

I usually just hit the compressor with a hammer. That'll usually do it!!!!

If you can wait a week I will be back in town if you want I can help you out, just pay for the 134. And I can fill it up and make it's not just going to pour back out. That's if you want to drive to Littleton to do this!! After ten years with no leaks is pretty normal you just need a recharge. Since it's somewhat cool still.

My son won't be back until around the 15th so next week sometime would be great. Give me a shout when you get back and we can work up a time. Thanks guys!
