It’s impossible to diagnose your car’s AC with just a low-side pressure gauge

A manifold gauge set allows you to measure and monitor various pressures and temperatures within the AC system, which is crucial for identifying and troubleshooting issues.

Without a manifold gauge set, it would be nearly impossible to accurately diagnose and service AC systems, as the internal pressures and temperatures are crucial indicators of the system’s condition and performance.

 See this post for more information on AC pressure gauge readings and what they mean. See these posts for the full complement of AC testing and diagnostic methods.

Rick’s take on this gauge set

If I had to choose, I’d choose the 4-way gauge set ($55) from OrionMotorTech.com. But if money is tight and you’ll rarely use the tool, this 3-way gauge set will do the job at a very reasonable cost of $43.

I highly recommend either set for diagnostic work, evacuation, and recharge work on your AC system. Are you looking for vacuum pumps? OrionMotorTech.com sells those too.

Buy a single stage vacuum pump to evacuate the system before recharging.
