In St. Louis, with our level of heat and humidity, we live and die by our A/C - home and car. This 2006 ZX3 SES Ford Focus has about 58,000 miles on it and the AC is essentially no longer working. I first attempted to fill it with 134A. The low side is located in front of the right front tire, on top of the accumulator/receiver dryer. Getting to this, unless you are a mechanic, means taking off the front tire and fender cover. Two tries with filling it did not work. I talked to an auto parts consultant at Advance Auto Parts who said the system was probably clogged, so coolant was not getting through. I had the level checked at Valvoline Instant Oil Change and they showed no problems with system. They took out old and put in new. No change in temperature. Fortunately they only charged me for checking system - $20, even though they filled it.
I will take this to a Ford Dealer, and if it costs a significant amount of money to fix, and it probably will, I will not be happy. This car is only three years old, with 58,000 miles on it. A problem of this degree with the A/C should not be happening.
