scrapmetal100 asks…. "How did you turn the compressor on, then? jumper wire?"
Dang! I left that out- I moved the center with a pencil and it caught enough to twitch with the AC on and engine running (high risk- NO-NO). All the friction material was gone from the bearing being so loose and wobble/dragging on it. It was like when someone rides the clutch on a manual transmission and there's constant slippage-contact. Couldn't get my fat hands in to jump it & the computer wouldn't talk to the HVAC part of the body computer (because infinity). Thanks for asking!
How do you know how much oil to put into the compressor? What about the condenser? I was reading that the VQ37VHR in most Infiniti’s have a total system value of 5.10 or so>? condenser holds 1.2 OZ of PAG oil, evaporator has 2.5oz and the condenser is supposed to have 1.2 oz…… The compressor that I bought had 3.4 OZ in it….could use some help! Thank you! Not sure if my numbers are right
Hi Brian I have a 00 impreza 2.5 I have seen your videos on ac but what about the the o rings that connect to the unit. Whens a good time to replace and high and low pressure lines? How/when would you change those out?? I tried going to Buyautoparts and saw that it came with the direr and expansion device?? What's up with those? do I need to change that out? and What's a good recommendation for O-Rings? I haven't heard you mention anything about it on your videos. Probably dum questions for you but just to be better informed. I want to change it out myself. all your videos VERY informative and AWESOME!! Hope to hear form you soon ?

Excellent video Brian – been doing mechanics since I was a kid and your kind of video is perfect. You give the run down of all the pieces and parts to remove, strategies to capture fluids, and to top it off some great life advice! Keep doing these – the DIYers like myself need them. FYI just got a quote on my 2015 Q50 to replace the a/c compressor 🙂 $1,600 – found a good quality compressor for $400! I think I would rather save $1,200 thank you very much!!
That was entertaining, and showed me where the hidden bolt is probably hiding on my 2008 G35.
Thanks!
Hi Brian plz can you tell how much it’s take oil and how much the pressure it shoud be in idle
only video I've seen so far that you take the ac compressor off from the top and not the bottom of the car
Do i also need to do the condenser or just the compressor?
Cheese and rice bro your voice is badass
When are you coming back to DFW, Mr Brian
"Ferris, Ferris?
Yeah ya always get the hardest one first, it just makes logical sense.
You can talk anyway you want it's your show if they don't like it then move on and go watch something else.
Sides ya got BFATE. Good vid Ferris. Happy Motoring.
(1) Whenever you open the a/c line, you have to replace the drier. (2) replacing only clutch would be better as compressor last longer in Japanese car. (3) Infiniti.
Brian, I just watched one of your older videos where you talk about how much you like Subaru and why, I'm curious to know your opinion on newer Subarus with the cvts and lack of limited slip diffs and 50 50 torque split ( the newer cars use traction control to move power from wheel to wheel), do you think they are as good as they were?
Next time, it comes right out the bottom without draining the coolant.
Don't fake it your voice is fine. Great video! And love the life advice mixed in.
Great video Brian
That cave is huge
