Can Some One Please Shed Some Light On Where Do I Charge R12 Into My 86 535i (i Do Not Want To Confuse The High And Low Side.) Thanks To All.

Look by the top of the passenger side strut tower kinda under the intake tube for the LOW side

Same question, I need the low side to add R12, there is one valve by the strut tube & one by the sight glass behind the right headlight, hard to tell which is the "low" side........ is that the strut located valve??

Thanks a million Jay, I'm all set. Hey Dirt racer the low side is the one next to the pass. strut tower as Jays323i stated.

Thanks Guys, I tried it yesterday and I was told that the system would just suck the R12 right in....... it seems to have only taken a little, mabie 1/6th of the 1lb can. In the hot sun I can only get the temp down to around 50 deg, in the shade a couple hours later I got it to 45 and then to 42 after it took a breath of the R12. I remember a cars AC going to 38 deg...... I still have to vacum out the condensor as I was told to do that too.

Any Ideas or explanations?????

yep a restriction keeping the compressor from sucking the freon in would do it as would a weak compressor
