Description
AVALANCHE proprietary refrigerant formula replaces lost refrigerant and oil. The formula improves the a/c’s cooling capabilities and provides better heat exchange by forming a protective film to decrease friction, reduce engine drag, prevent oxidation and sludge formation and extend the compressor life. Avalanche’s AVL345 comes with a reusable hose that allows you to check you’re a/c pressure with a gauge and the new pressure check system.
Net weight: 18 fl oz (US)
Worked as intended on my 2010 328i. Turns out I did not need that much to get my a/c as cold as it used to be. I saw a review talking about how the bottle itself is cheap, why focus on the bottle and not on what it does RIGHT. This product works just as good as any other brand. And for cheaper!
The bad reviews here are ridiculous. I am not a mechanic, but I have the internet and some basic sense, and was able to figure it out. I used this in an F-250 7.3 diesel, and found that the can instructions were more than adequate once I located the correct port to plug into. Make sure your system is on, otherwise the gauge will show that the cooling system is overcharged…the can tells you all of this. Again, the other reviews noting that the refrigerant doesn’t flow clearly didn’t follow the (fairly straightforward) instructions on the can. If for whatever reason you find that the instructions on the can are confusing, the internet is a remarkable place (that we’ve had at our fingertips for a good number of years now). There are countless videos available to watch, including step by step, specific instructions for whatever vehicle you’re looking to recharge. For the bad reviews stating that it doesn’t work for certain vehicles…maybe google compatibility before spending almost $40 on a can of refrigerant?
Worked perfectly fine on my 2011 BMW e92 328i M Sport. Not to bash any other reviews but only suggestions I’d give is firstly insure the r134a grade is indeed compatible with your make and model, secondly, be sure to locate your “low pressure” port (all vehicles have a low pressure and high pressure service port), most obviously, simply read the canister instructions before you start and you’ll be fine. Lastly, make sure your connection to the low pressure port is snug and doesn’t move when you pull on the hose without engaging the release mechanism to avoid leaks and be patient cause I’ll take a minimum of 20mins. TIP: press the trigger for 10secs then rock the canister back and forth for 10secs and repeat for best and quickest results.
First and foremost, make sure you wear eye protection and gloves when using this product! This is not stuff you want to avoid safety on! As far as the product goes, this stuff is kinda meh. It will (mostly) get the job done, but it's a bit of a pain. The hose is pretty short, and I'm not sure that I fully trust the gauge. It caused a bunch of existing freon to shoot out of the valve when connecting it. When I turned the can, the connections kept loosening, so it leaked from the can. Enough leaking that one bottle didn't finish my car. Next time I'll likely spend a few more bucks and buy a different brand
Don't bother. The valve connecting to the low pressure port had a bad seal. Most of the refrigerant sprayed into the engine compartment. The gauge seemed to register pressure, then completely drop. It seemed poorly made, with cheap plastic, so I'm sure this wasn't a one-off. Save your money and ask for a recommendation at an auto parts store.
