Revitilization of a old C230 continues - A/C not cold - ideas?

[Doug427]

Next problem, the A/C is not cold. I am hoping that it's just low on gas. I don't see the charging port, can someone tell me where to look for it? Any other ideas? Anything I should be looking for?

The charging port is jus on top of the compressor, usually has a black plastic cap covering it.

Picture 1 shows it with the cap.

Thanks for all the help. I bought two cans of gas and the cheapie hose with gauge. Charged it all up and it's cold! Now I just wait and see if it all laeks out or it holds. So far, so good.
