Mechanic said the compressor was shot. Had him replace the compressor. Sitting in the shade the the air blows around 55 degrees at the vents but when parked in the lord's day idleing it barely gets down to 65... seventy at the vents... Now heed you the temps are in backlog of a 100 when I am testing. And yes Ac fan turned on high, temp turned all the fashion down and recirculating swith on. Driving around locally in boondocks it gets down to well-nigh fifty - 55 degrees blowing out the vents. Is this what information technology should exercise?

I'd take it dorsum to the guy who replaced the compressor and have him check the pressures and freon level.

It seems to exist blowing pretty hard merely it may supposed to blow harder. It really hasn't been hot enough to chck out correctly equally far as temps get. It will be in the upper 90's this weekend. Too there is a garage running a "Check your Air-conditioning out" this week for $nine.95.. I'll take it there Thursday or Fri. Might become to the cabin filters or should I say I'll check to run across if it has motel filters in the next day or so. Thanks for everyones comments! it really does help out!

People were complaining about their A/C'south not working and a lot of times it was due to not replacing the cabin filters because almost people didn't know there was such a thing plus they were hard to get to. When people took them to the dealer to be changed out the price was and so high they were complaining virtually that to then GM just did away with them altogether. At present I've been reading where some people are complaining about their interiors getting and then dusty so easy. Oh well you tin can't please everyone. I'm glad they got rid of them personally.

Man did that make a difference on how hard the fan blows. Oasis't really checked out how cold it gets nonetheless. Could the filters brand the compressor show up as having high head pressure? That is what the mechanic said was wrong and the but thing to right this was to replace the compressor. Hither's a picture of the filters. Thanks for all the assist.

If y'all take as well loftier of head force per unit area, I'd suspect the system is over-charged or there is a restriction somewhere in the arrangement.

| 56chev66must Senior Member Posts: 275 Reg: 04-06-04 User Info Send Private Topic | 09-14-12 03:43 PM - Postal service#2269715 In response to Alan_W My experience is all with Hondas, from 1994-2000. But in Dallas during the summer, every car that came through the door had "Check A/C not cooling" at the top of the repair social club, lol. Anyhow, below is Honda's prescribed method for testing the A/C system and the way I tested all the hundreds of cars I worked on. Other car makers have different methods for testing the A/C, simply since the principles are all the same, it doesn't really make a difference. If the interior of the auto is extremely hot from sitting in the sun (equally they unremarkably are), roll down all the windows for a few minutes to help the heat escape. Turn the A/C on, put it on recirc air (max air), and all the manner common cold. Whorl upwardly the windows and park the car in the shop. A very shady area would work if you tin can't get in the garage, and don't let your garage fill up with carbon monoxide! Permit the A/C absurd the car for 15 minutes and check the temp. Information technology's all-time to employ a thermometer that yous can run into from exterior the car, considering A) every time you open the door you're letting heat in, and B) do the exam without sitting in the motorcar (YOU are warm). The temp will non agree steady as the compressor should be cycling on and off, information technology's going to vary well-nigh three degrees from low to high. Yous want to notation the everyman temp reached. Put the thermometer sensor in the centre vent, non the side vent. Hither'southward the temp intermission down for R134a systems: 44 degrees or below: Arrangement working fine, no comeback possible 44-48 degrees: Could exist amend, perchance a footling low on refrigerant or an air door is not closing all the way (this was very common on Hondas). Just the improvement would exist slight (four degrees), and most people wouldn't notice the improvement and complain. in a higher place 48 degrees: Not cool enough, repair needed Oh, and this is during the hottest function of the summer in Dallas. If it's but 65 degrees outside and you're getting 44 degrees at the vent, then when information technology gets hot again you're going to be sweating! Hope that helps! 56chev |

The mechanic did everything in the world to find the trouble. He narrowed it down to a brake in the rear air. If I leave the rear air off, everything works good. turn it on and the front air conditioning starts getting warmer and warmer. He had already changed out the back "orffice" (** EDIT*** Expansion Valve***) is that what it's called???? Anyhow it was fixing to be libation weather so I didn't want to spend whatsoever more money on information technology.. plus nosotros were going on a trip. He seems to think the back condensor may be blocked. Mule Edited by Gray Headed Mule on xi-07-12 11:34 PM. Reason for edit: No reason given. I'm sexy and I know it!

Come to find out he put on an after market compressor. I talked to the Chevy dealer shut to me and they said that the afterwards market compressors just don't have plenty oooommmph to push the freon where information technology needs to go... Then.. the mechanic put on s new compressor from GM and it works perfect. You know sometimes it pays to seize with teeth the bullit and go ahead and take information technology to the Chevy dealership. I ended up paying style more than than I should have past thr mechanic replacing a lot of parts that didn't need replacing! Mule I'm sexy and I know information technology!
