A/C not working

the freon is a coolant like a refrigerator has freon. you can get a recharging kit from a local parts supply store, follow all the instructions. there are instruction for adding the freon. that should take care of the problem as long as you do not have a leak. sometimes vehicles need to be recharged but should last a while as long as there is no leak.

Thanks for the info, I'm gonna follow your advice and fill it up and see if that works. However I don't have access to a kit like the one you're talking about since I'm not in the country. All I have is the car mechanic who told me in very broken english that I need gas. He brought out some kind of a tank with a hose and a gage at the end of the hose. He plugged into one of two entry points and said that it was empty.
What I need to know before refilling it from him is how he can tell from reading the gage that it's empty and how DO I TELL THAT HE FILLED IT ALL THE WAY UP. Any help would be appreciated.



Thanks
