I'm with Matt. It needs to be done professionally on our XK. My buddy jay has all the equipment Jacob mentioned for AC and after I did the rear AC/Heat delete I had him vac the system and recharge it. Well lets just say it didn't work to well on the XK and I had to take it to the dealer and have it done. Jay has charged about 50 cars with no problems but the XK was a different story.

Im trying to remember what we charged.... I think it was about $180 for a complete a/c recharge with dye (varied based on the capacity of the system). Last I looked (because my neighbor needs ac work) a manifold $ pump kit was over $400, plus I still needed freon.Originally Posted by hoaxci5

Let me know what you end up getting though; I may want to borrow your setup.
It's $60ish for the manifold gauges, and this little dodad is said to work in place of a real pump.

Now you have me looking again.... I have a tendency to look at the more brand name supplies. I don't know how much I trust the harbor freight dodad lol but this doesn't look too bad:

I have to check but I think Autozone has a vacuum pump for rent, and possibly gauges, but not sure on either yet.. when I go to buy my replacement parts I'll be asking...
Matt. That's what my buddy Jay has.

What kind of issue did he have when trying to refill your system?
Well first off that vac pump didn't totally vac everything out of the ac system. Then when he went to charge it he couldn't get the exact amount of freon back in the system to the proper specs. It ended up getting a hair over charged while led to an idling issue. The dealer vacc'd the system for me and put in the proper amount of freon and it fixed the idle issue
