Discussion in ' 2nd Gen 1. Log in or Sign up. A couple questions: 1. Where is the best place to buy freon, or are they mostly all the same? I have seen them almost everywhere from Wal-Mart to AutoZone.
Recharging the A/C | Ford Escort Owners Association (FEOA)
The air conditioner system in the Ford Escort uses Ra refrigerant. The system may lose refrigerant over time, which will affect the performance of the air conditioner. If the it does not seem to cool as well as it once did, you may need to add more refrigerant. The Ra refrigerant and an automotive recharge kit are available at most auto parts stores. You can charge the air conditioner system at home to avoid taking the vehicle to an expensive mechanic. Turn the valve counterclockwise on the Ra automotive recharge kit to open the valve. Attach a container of Ra refrigerant to the kit.

Eugene Scarbrough. Eugene Scarbrough, The service valve is behind the wheel well cover on the front passenger side. Take a look on here for service and refill instructions. Also, while Ra isn't as bad for the environment as the older R12, there is still a heavy fine for venting Ra into the atmosphere. Also, you will be working under or near the car while it is running.
