So, saw in several comments to keep from replying multiple times:
The condenser was free of debris. No debris was built up between the condenser and radiator. None in front of the condenser.
Both cooling fans ran and were running at full speed when A/C compressor was engaged.
That expansion valve looks identical to the ones used in John Deere equipment.
Ford boss me is jealous AF of you
This video brought back my AC&R School training from 50 years ago in the Navy.
Where to find the spec for the clutch gap for these years? Just ordered a set of feeler gauges to check for my 2005 Legacy where AC starts out cold but then gets warm. Hoping it's just a too-large gap that can be fixed by removing the thin shim so the clutch will be able to consistently engage.
Terrific video
Could you help me with a 1981 Subaru DL 1.6 engine? I am not getting power to the fuel pump. It is electric under the hood on the drivers side. On the wiring diagram I find a ACG 12 v 30 that has something to do with the voltage regulator which in on the wheel well on passenger side of the car. Thanks Paul
Would the diagnostic process be similar on a 2014 legacy? My independent shop has replaced the leaking o-rings and recharged but the ac just seems to struggle if it’s been heat-soaked sitting out in sun. Once at highway speeds for a while it cools off. And it cools fine if starting out from in the garage/not sitting in sun.
I guess I feel less alone because I'm not the only one with a 2009 Outback Ltd. with weak a/c. At least my light silvery-green is better with sunlight.
I have a question regarding a code in my 2016 wrx
P000C. Intake cam 2 position slow response
Do you think this is simply a sensor gone bad? Or as others have suggested a cam gear within the timing cover that needs replaced?
I’ve also been told in 50/50 of these cases where the ecu throws this code it can permanently embed In the ecu and a possible ecu replacement could be needed
What do you think?
I noticed my 2021 legacy's rpms raise and fall 100-200 rpms when ac is running. I don't think it ever did that before.
Why did they even mess with it if they were not willing to pay for the parts they needed to fix it? I guess they will just be riding around with a hot car. Lol
Funny! Just couple days ago I took my 2013 wrx to the shop because my AC wasn’t blow so as cold from the vent. I had a leak in some valves and an evacuation of the system. The AC blows a lot cooler now. I feel like I just need some tint to cool it a bit more now!
When replacing the expansion valve, you have yo recover all of the refegierant out right? Or do those lines shut when pulling them out?
After 2 days of diagnosis the conclusion is to replace everything. Lol. Such is the way of car mechanicals.
Mine won't turn on and I know its a problem with the switch because even the radiator fans don't come on (they work in traffic/heat though)
Those high performance condensers are easy to clog. Decades ago you could flush them out. Now they are disposable.
Good thing R134 is not as expensive as the stuff thats used in new cars.
I have an Outback that randomly overheats. I’ve replaced the thermostat a handful of times and it works well for a few days or weeks and then it starts overheating again. Anyone know what I can do?
My compressor clutch is not engaging anymore, I had noticed that the ac was weakening and thought that it was low charge. Not the case now. Where should I go from here? I’m also getting ready to move to CT and I will be transporting our pets.
Thought my ac was failing on 09 legacy 3.0r but I believe it might be the drivers temperature actuator. I’m hearing like a clicking noise in the dash and the passenger side blows cold. Is it possible to replace it without removing the dash?
2008 Legacy … AC is great unless car has been sitting in direct sunlight. In those cases, it just won't put out cold for that drive. Frustrating.
Most excellent, as per usual.
Also, just a thought. About 10 months ago, YT started making more slot for Channel Badges.
So you can now have 3 and 4-year badges set up for the channel, good sir.

Is it ok to mix different brands of PAG oil ? Is it better to use Subaru oem? Does it make a difference?
