    It is under the hood, just to the right of the brake fluid fill as you are facing the windshield from the front of the car. Does that help?

    Anyone knows? I just had mine recharged at the dealer. It costs $400.

    My 458 is a 2010. The AC was blowing only warm air a few months ago. My dealer recharged it and changed the dried up seal, where freon might be leaking. Freon and 1 hour labor cost about $400.

    Can you tell me exactly which r134a device and which digital gauge you used? I’d like to DIY as well my 458.

    Thank you sir. How do you safely drain/discharge the system before working on it?

    The workshop manual has information only for charge/discharge using pro systems.
