2000 DX AC question

Im trying to recharge my AC but am unable to find the Low Pressure Service Port. Ive searched and all the diagrams ive found have either been for higher models or different generations. So i took a pic and am hoping someone can help me out here. Thanks

Does your dash have an A/C button? haha

from that picture, it is hard to see any a/c parts...the lines would be right in front of the radiator...and you would have a condenser (looks like a radiator)

I could have sworn they didnt come with ac but it doesnt look like he has the hook up for one under his hood

Re: 2000 DX AC question

Ya im possitive i have AC. I bought it in November and the AC was nice and crisp. Im living in Italy now and its about to be summer and im not getting any cold air so im trying to recharge it. I thought it would have been right up front also but its not there. What would be the best/easiest way for me to track it down. Thanks in advance.

Re: 2000 DX AC question

I definitely had power steering...haha...

Probably like most makes/models, you can add anything on to it...but at a certain point, it would be an LX or an EX though..right?

Re: 2000 DX AC question

According to this diagram it's right underneath the power steering pump. If it's not there then it was removed by the previous owner or was never there. It would be in no other place. Perspective is from the front-driverside.

In your pic it doesn't look like it's there 'cause you can see all the way to the splash shield.
