New Compressor took a Dive.....(F~#k)

Dayum,

About 60 days old....I just put a Rebuilt Compressor on my 03, I-35 and a mechanic told me today that it was not pumping Freon.

He slapped the gauges on is and the low side wasn't dipping when i accelerated....SO, I gotta go back to the Guy who put it on and get um to do it over....(chit).

THIS TIME, i also gonna add a New Expansion Value because the car was sitting for awhile (by the previous owner).

ITs hot down here where i am....

I guess i should be happy its not the Evaporator....

Welcome to owning these cars, they are picky about what parts you use.

Thanks George...but the compressor was working fine.

The mechanic who inspected the AC system told me, the parts manufacturer, were scumbags (local).

SO, MY MECHANIC (different from the one who inspected the failed system) is the one who made the mistake.

LESSON LEARNED...but quality parts.
