# Do-it-yourself A/C recharge kits- worth it?

Posted by RosenKen (93 SE 5spd) on September 07, 2002 at 19:00:34:

Found a kit with pressure gauge, hose hookjup and 11oz can of R134 refrigerant for sale at the local supermarket for $15. My A/C is cold, but I know it can be colder. I've never done A/C work, so do these kits work good or should I just get the system flushed/recharged at a mechanic?
