F13 Air Conditioner not blowing cold

[C5driver]

I did a search and there was a thread about this, but for an F06.

The symptoms were the same...hissing noise from the AC, then blowing warm. The dealer checked the system and it was the evaporator/condensor and the estimate was $7,500. An indy estimated $1,400 for the same job.

My question is...how do I recharge the system and where is the charge port?

Thanks!

Inline 6 engine or V8 petrol engine or diesel? Engine configs may be slightly different...so remember to give us enough information/detail to provide the correct data you're asking for help with. I had to look up all 4 engine configurations in case there were differences.

#2 (suction) & #3 (pressure)

{N63 V8 engine}


{N55 I6 engine}


{N57 diesel engine}


{S63 V8 engine}

That’s a tremendous help! Apologies for the lack of detail, but it’s a F13 M6, V8 TT, so I’m assuming an S63 motor. I found the bleed(?) valve, but couldn’t see the recharge valve.

Its located below the passenger side engine air filter. You have to remove the air filter to see it. For reference if Im not mistaken, the high port is near behind the headlight assembly, remove the air filter box and its a bit behind the high port, under the filter box.

Perfect. Thank you!
