Great DIY, this helped greatly when I had to repair my system a few weeks ago.
However, I used Environmentally Safe I-12 to recharge my system. So far the product seems great. It cost $37 for 6, 6 oz. cans, I only had to use 2 cans to reach the desired low side pressures. (its a HC refrigerant and uses a lot less product to create the correct pressures for the A/C system)
It recently got up to 93 degrees here and my vent temps hovered around 43 degrees, I was thoroughly impressed. This car was previously running R134A and the temp difference is night and day. When it was using R134A, my system was "cool" with me in the car and only got worse in direct sunlight or with multiple persons in the car with me. With only me in the car, I could have the A/C on the lowest setting and still be a bit chilly.
