How much lbs of r134a for an 01???

[chmura]

Can someone check under their hood of there 2001 corolla and tell me how much lbs to fill the AC on the low and high side?

My hood has been replaced so I dont have the OEM stickers.

how low are we talkin here? did you get a set with a gauge?
you can go to any parts store and buy an AC refill kit WITH a gauge for like 20 bucks
and the gauge is reusable.
unless you know what you're doing don't buy a 30 pound cylinder some hose and hope for the best.
i've seen people EXPLODE their compressors doing that.
literaly... kaboom.
it wasnt pretty

My dad has an auto shop. He is experienced and has all the equipment. Evap pump, gauges, etc.

Going to the parts store and buying those r134a bottle with gauge kits are really misleading to the general public. MOST of the time if you are low on r134a there is air in the system. So you have to EVAC the system (get all the air out) and then properly refill with r134a and oil. The general public CANNOT EVAC. So buying a small bottle with a gauge does more harm then good.

Back to my original question.

Can someone tell me what there OEM Air Conditioning sticker says on their 2001 Corolla??

Thank you!

Is there a specific HIGH and LOW weight?

When I look at my 2002 Toyota Highlander AC sticker under the hood it says this:

1.52lbs High
1.22lbs Low

true but if you have air in your system that is a symptom of a larger problem.
and if you evacuate you also have to refill oil as the evacuation WILL suck out the oil.
oil is PAG 46 7 or so ounces.
and not to be a jerk but if your dad has all the equipment at his shop then he would have access to that information and more through ALLDATA, Chilton, or at least a repair manual.

i apologize for the double post but to answer OP's question about 1.5 pounds i have OEM hood and it doesn't specify for hi or low. it just says that it has an R134a system and not to fill with R12. so as far as i can tell it doesn't matter.
but as i said. your father may have access to ALLDATA a program only techs have access too. you may also look into a chilton manual. chilton is basically the bible of car repair
