[s-cars] A/C Recharging and Recirculation question

[HEALY, WILLIAM L (ATTOPS)]

Hello all,

While on the subject of a/c, does anyone know where the outside air
comes into the cabin?  I want to de-odorize my A/C with some of that
frigifresh stuff.  
Where is the low pressure a/c port located?  I hear it's not to tough to
recharge your own system.

Thanks,
Bill

Subject: [s-cars] A/C Recharging and Recirculation question

Hey guys,

So, I'm going in this week to get my A/C recharged.  It has been blowing
"cool," not cold since I've owned the car, about 4 years now.  Steadily
decreasing as the years have gone by.  Now it blows ambient air
temperature.  While it was blowing "cool" the recirculation flap always
worked.  Now that the A/C seems to have lost all it's charge, the
recirculation flap does not stay "on."  Are these two things related,
for instance, will I get my recirculation back when it gets recharged?
Or is it another problem with the system?

Also, I was quoted about $200 for a recharge, including some dye to
locate a current or future leak in the system.  Is this a fair price, or
should I shop around a bit more?

Thanks!
