Ac
what types of maintenance needs to be done on my ac because summer is here and it is hot as s***. anything i can do to make it cooler?
|
Is it not cooling or just not cooling as well as you'd like?
|
not cooling as well as id like.
|
same problem here, my ac is not cooling at all, i think a new compressor is needed, but would rather find out if its something else first.
|
Did you get the AC system checked out? Maybe it needs to be recharged?
|
does anyone know hwo to empty out the 134 out of the system, cause i would liek to try the synthetic stuff, i dunno if regular is synthtic but there is some that is suppose to be better. gotta find the scoop on it
|
what does recharging it do?
|
idk i have the same problem...my ac blows luke warm air at 65deg then when i turn on the recirculation button it's freezing. Do i need a recharge or what's up??? Sry don't mean to jack the thread, just that's it's a similar problem. Thanks.
Edit : i popped my hood and touched the line of the ac and it's so cold i burned my hand. idk what's up... |

Same here. My a/c was working but not great. Specialist changed the expansion valve and now it's cold enough to freeze the b*lls off a brass monkey.
|
how much did it cost to change the expansion valve?

its not my fan speed or strength that the air blows, just that it takes a really long time to cool down the car.
|
Where is the expansion valve? How much was it to get it fixed btw??
|
i got quoted $400 to replace expansion valve

I'm having A/C issues too. The fan blows/circulates air just fine but when I turn on the A/C I just get a loud hissing noise and no cold air. Does this sound familiar to anybody? I'm sure it's going to be expensive...
|
The expansion valve... hmm, hard to say, because he first 'fixed' a couple of things that didn't need fixing. I think the job cost $150 incl. recharge. But this is Mexico, so you'd probably have to multiply by 100 in the US, where all AC techs have a special diploma signed by Gard.

I just paid $1300 total to replace my AC compressor, drier/receiver, and condenser :wtc: The mechanic said the latter 2 were damaged in an accident I had 3 years ago, but everything was working fine until the A/C compressor blew up a couple of months ago.. Me = pwnt

If ur ac needs charging it has a leak somewhere.... dont just refill it because it will just leak out again... You can try to charge it urself but that doent usually work.. take it in and let them tell you whats wrong with it |

i just spent $20 and refilled my ac, blows so cold now it will freeze your nipples off
|
I have the same problem with my ac. Its cool... but its not cold. It bearly keeps the car cool on a hot day being constantly blasted at 65 deg. I hope to just refill the ac and hope that fixes it.
