Problem #1: My A/C blows air but it is not cold. Question #1: I need to know if I can buy a coolant and just pour it in some place? A guy friend suggested that could be a simple solution. Says that since I have a newer vehicle, "charging" my A/C will not be necessary. Unfortunately, I don not know where to put the coolant, if that is the solution. ...
