    Not that hard... do a search to locate the Freon ports. The DIY charging kits have detailed instructions... read and follow them. I just did my 993 Porsche and it was easy as pie.

    Whoa, no Freon in a 360 climate control system. It uses R134A as a refrigerant. Better take her to someone who knows what they are doing and can pull a good vacuum before refilling. You probably need a new receiver/dryer/filter, too, since Ferrari recommends changing it every 2 years, but hardly anybody ever does that.

    R134 systems are sensitive to the amount of "freon" charge. Too much "freon" will cause low cooling just as much as too little "freon". Those consumer R134 bottles with the gauges will not tell you if you undercharge or overcharge. The only way to charge properly is too pull all the 134 out, then pull a vacuum and then recharge with the proper amount +/- .1 lbs. As for replacing the filter....its a Delco system, I don't think Delco recommends replacing the filter every 2 years. I would only replace the filter if you replace the compressor or suspect that the system has been compromised for a period. All systems lose charge over years. If its been a 10 years, pull the remaining 134, replace the filter, pull a good 30 minute vacuum to pull the corrosion causing moisture out and charge to proper amount. The proper amount is the key. Any shop can recharge your system. Take the time to find the recharge ports in the front trunk so the shop doesn't have to search, and go and get the system recharged properly.
