Good explanation of AC system
I love the accent and hand gestures, your English is 98% on good video bro
So my belt, and tensioner are new. Ac works and gets cold but squeals bad when turned on, do you think replacing just the clutch will fix it. Only squeals when clutch engages. Thanks
Good video will this cause a rough idle wen turned on
Yes, it could.
2007 Chevy Avalanche: Had a 134a leak which left me with no refrigerant. Replaced o-rings, valves, etc. Ran a vacuum and it held -30hg for a hour. Began recharging system and couldn't get the system to suck in the 134a from the can. AC LED light in car blinking and won't stay solid green. Relay is good (swapped it with another to test), bypassed relay and clutch engages when jumped. Tried recharging while jumping relay, no success. I tried placing AC can in hot water while charge hose was connected to low-side and still no success. What am I doing wrong or need to do differently? - Thanks!
The problem in my car is that the compressor stops working altogether when the temperature outside is over 80° F, and it comes on sporadically if the temperature is under that but even then it mostly doesn't work in sunlight! This baffles me! I'm not sure how the outside temperature affects when the AC compressor is working? But when I looked at the pulley, every time the compressor turns off, the pulley completely stops! It doesn't idle with the clutch disengaged it just completely stops when the compressor is not working! Is the clutch still the problem? Is it stuck in one position so that if the compressor is turned off, it doesn't spin but if there's enough friction on the belt, it will start spinning the clutch and the compressor? My AC might be a little more complicated because when it's working, it still works when the car is Auto stop feature comes on and the engine isn't running?
The clutch on mjni cooper engages but no cold air , after I tried to refill the refrigerant. One of Ac lines had a home rubbing against another part and got hole in it. I did replace the ac line but refilling refrigerant isn’t fixing my no cold air issue. Any help?
What if the ac clutch is spinning but hasnt engaged? I saw at first it was only the pulley spinning as i was filling the clutch started spinning but i didnt hear nothing engage. It spins with ac on or off. Also spins with the fuse out.
Is this normal until its filled with the right amount of refrigerant? I thought the clutch only spins when engaged? Any info is much appreciated.
Very well explained video 👍
Thank you🫡
What if the compressor is working good most of the time but disconnects cool air randomly? Making a sound inside the cabin. Is it a clutch issue? My mechanic is telling it’s a bad compressor but it’s too expensive to replace the whole unit.
Would low freon cause the compressor fuse to break or pop?
My ac clutch is missing did it fall off? Is that common
Terrible rattling once AC is turned on, stops once AC is turned off. Can a mechanic try to replace JUST the AC compressor clutch? Or will they just replace the whole AC compressor? Because the AC cools really well, but it has a terrible rattle.
Just only the clutch can be replaced, even only the bearing, no need to replace the compressor itself.
@@SkateSpace2012 Great! Thanks!
Looking for increase in idle will only help check if A/C button is working. Most cars will raise engine RPM once the ECU recognises the A/C button has been pressed.
And what if you turn the AC off and then the items really low a little bit shaky and the engine almost shutting off? But when you turn the AC button on, like you said, the increase in idle will bring it to a perfect idle. I have to drive with the Aceon all the time cause my car might shut off. What could this be?
Fuse?
He is only here for views. I see he isnt answering peoples questions. Why make a video to help people but wont help people when they need it?
I just changed my serpentine belt and when ever I turn on my AC, I visually notice the belt moving slower, jumping in speed, and my battery level getting lower. Could it be the compressor clutch? Or a pulley bearing?
It could be the Alternator Pulley i had to change my Alternator because my Battery was low all the time
