I tried to charge my A/C with refrigerant and could not get the compressor to turn on. So I was unable to recharge the A/C in my 2006 Tuscan Hyundai. I took it to Plains Tire here in Rock Springs, Wyoming. They recharge A/C systems only. They said it would not take a charge, there seems to be a blockage somewhere and refrigerant was not very low. Please help!
I've always liked your diagnostic strategy, the discipline you put into it and into the videos themselves. I've always found them very valuable but the 'tude is killing me. I guess you get what you pay for.
I'm here to make this Video cuz I love to here myself rattle on n on .although I appreciate the help
excellent video! thank you for taking the time to post this, however I must say you talk more than my better half does! and she talks a lot! I bet you you can compress the video to 5 minutes if you try to talk less and be less disdainful to others, mechanics or DIYs. thanks again
waste of time
This is awesome! Thank you for posting videos for us hacks XD
But I like coconuts…
there's no link to other video you mentioned ..and i did a search of your videos and got no hits?
it was very cold because your hoses took some of the charge out…
so a visual inspection found the problem…
Just had a thought. What causes the compressor to cycle? Is there a temperature sensor on the evaporator somewhere or does the compressor run until it trips the high pressure switch?
Hey Matt, I love your videos. I have a question about inproving the efficiency of my AC system. I needed to replace the leaking condensor on my 2005 Civic. I ordered a Denso condensor on Rock Auto and installed it, replaced filter dryer, vacuumed the system, recharged it and it works great. But the AC is obviously still not as cold idling as driving even if I rev the engine. I insulated the low pressure AC line to prevent it from absorbing heat from the engine, which helped a little. My question is can I improve the efficiency of the system a little by installing a fan on the front of the condensor to push more air through the condensor when the compressor is running? Also, could the fan save some fuel by reducing head pressure and compressor on time, or would the electrical load of the fan offset any fuel saving benefit? Thank you for making great videos and have a great day.
If the car aircon was working fine and then just stopped,? Who cut the wire ?? A mouse with some smll pliers ?. Great vid by the way !
