there is one at the front of the car (behind the removable grille)
and the other one is down in behind the compressor as nenad pointed out.... not very easy to get at.

thats the high pressure port. do not charge the freon thru it. the hi side is for system pressure monitoring. low side is for charging and system temp monitoring.

why do you want to charge it? that may be more important then the charging itself... unless the system has a leak you should never have to charge it... and if it does have a leak charging it now without fixing the leak is only a temporary fix...

Yeah i want to check if the system has a leak. So you mean the car doesnt run out of freon?

right... if the system is working properly it will never run out of freon...
