This video saved me about 1000 dollars though it took me 22 hours to do because of other complications that should be expected when you work on your own car, and I am an amateur. But I had lots of time to do it, and not all that much money. Would highly recommend doing it on your own. If I were to do it again I would expect anywhere from 4 to 10 hours depending on the car now that I know exactly what I'm doing. Now my AC blows coooold all thanks to this awesome guide video.

Will this directions work for a Toyota Camry Hybrid 2012? They told me at the auto ship my car has an electronic compressor, without a belt, so I don't know.

Raul Ureste says:

Wonder if you could recommend a video flushing the ac system on a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500? Thanks.

Arkib Ilmu says:

Hakam Abu Gharbieh says:

Hey chris great job …….shouldn’t you change the dryer/filter , i think it’s a must when you change the compressor, also shouldn’t you flush the system as ell thanx

tom walma says:

How did you evacuate old gas? In previous video you charged the system with gas+dye, not to mention the old gas that was already there. I don't see you using a pump to evacuate anything.. Did you just release it into the atmosphere?( Inappropriate and illegal!)

Thang Tons says:

sir, my car i20 ac compressor gives a pressure reading of 40 psi at around 33 degree celsius (or 30 to 38 celsius) on the Low Side with full ac on.

Is this normal reading? if not, would be grateful if you could kindly provide me some kind of pressure readings chart. Soliciting your attention. Thanks.

Jose Ibarra says:

Vic Terry says:

Hi good video! Is the only part of the ac system that needs oil the compressor? I’m looking to flush the whole system and refill it with Freon. Any other places I need to add oil at? Thank you!

Honda service here in California charges me $2,000 to make my air condition work.After a week it stop working again and they said it needs new evaporator and charged me another $350 .I felt cheated by this Honda dealership here in Lancaster California.
