Any help locating the low side port? I can only find the high side. -- Mike > Any help locating the low side port?

I believe it varies by model year and country. If I'm not mistaken, the "access from underneath the vehicle" applies to early cars. For my '86 na, the low and high ports are next toe each other on the left side along the wheel tub, and accessed conveniently from the top of the car - just lift the hood and there it is. Mine's a later '87, but only the high side port is on the wheel tub. Guess I need to start crawling . . . -- Mike Andy wrote: > > Any help locating the low side port?

I couldn't find it on my '88 until after I paid for a garage to recharge the A/C a couple of weeks ago. They fitted new "low side tap" which was visible pointing forward, low and front of the wheel well, doesn't seem to be there now though! =============================================== * Reply by Jack D.

You will have to remove the belly pan and you may have to move the alternator cooling duct hose to the side to see/access it.  SignatureJack on my 85.5 and both 87s, the low side is on the fitting that connects the suction hose to the compressor, high side is atop the LH fender. > =============================================== > * Reply by Jack D.
