If you need to charge it, you have a leak! You should have the leak repaired first, before you decide to charge it yourself!

there was a TSB about some 05-06s not getting ebough 134 in the system from the factory

if you dont know where to put it in,maybe you shouldnt be trying. Its on the low/suction side

i forget the amount that it needs but if you dont know what you are doing you can cause some damage

Mine was at like 18psi. The middle of the operating range is 30psi, low pressure is anything under 25psi. I put like half of one of those shorty cans from Wally World in, and it's like somebody came to the house and installed proper A/C in my car. It actually works now. I can run the fan on 3, or even 2!!

What I'm saying is you don't necessarily have a leak. You have an '05 with undercharged A/C. I sure as hell did.
