92 Mazda Protege LX
I tried retrofitting R134a into my protege and I can't get it to work. Last week I tried to refill the Refrigerant after bleeding out the old stuff. It went in but it seemed to take only very little. There was no pressure in the lines prior to filling but it only took about 1/3 of the can to get it to the full mark on the gauge.
The first time I filled it I noticed there was a hissing coming from behind the bumper. I bought a new condenser and drier from Jho (which I just received today, thanks) and installed it. I refilled it again and still no coolness.
When I drained the radiator to install the condenser I didn't have any coolant so I just refilled it with water. Any chance this is causing anything? It is getting a tad bit close to overheating.
