As someone who did a/c work, that oil in the vacuum gets "saturated" with water as the moisture is sucked through the vacuum. Since this is a rental tool, and most people don't know that, there is no telling how long its been since the oil was changed and it could be heavily saturated. Water vapor (moisture) mixed with coolant, turns into an acid and slowly eats away at the parts inside your compressor. So when you create that vacuum, it actually boils the moisture turning it into a vapor and removing the "steam" from the lines and such. So long story short, absolutely spend $8 to $12 and replace the oil in the vacuum compressor before using it because its not worth having acid in your a/c system over $8 to $12 worth of oil. Also you need to run a vacuum for a minimum of 30 minutes straight. You honestly can't vacuum too long. The more the better. On my vehicle I would run it for an hour straight.

Wow! I’d been struggling to get my Nissan Titan’s hood to open and your trick worked like a charm! Thank you!!!

👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Great video, thanks for posting this!

Thank you for this, after the remnants of a hurricane blew through here my A pillar flooded on the passenger side (the side where the water pools because i live on a slope). I live in richmond and pollen season here is tremendous and wouldn't you know, the drain was completely clogged with the stuff. So one very sweaty and humid July morning I did all this and water passes through without an issue. You'd think this was designed to keep you at the dealership and blowing compressed air can only really do so much.

"Very flexible, very breathable.. pull it over your port there,don't forget retaining ring. I'm a cheap little trick for ya, thanks for gawking."

would this fix apply if the mechanic states the compressor wont switch on?

Thank you, my hood is fixed!

I make a bag out of paper towel with duct tape.

Would a bad solenoid effect condensor fan speed?

Thank you, have a nice day

Thank you.

Hello bro

I have the same problem on my C7280. I used Hardman epoxy orange and it bonds well to nylon.

no only sv and sl

Does the s model have the same setup?

Thank you!!!

Jesus Christ god bless you thank you.

This worked perfect. A Big Thank you, from Ireland

Thanks, it worked.

I have a problem with hood stuck closed as well. Now it may be from the latch under the hood being rusted shut, or the hood frozen shut as I live in Canada, and it's just starting to warm up. I haven't had the hood open in about 2 years, so it's possible the latch rusted shut ? It's an older 97 Chev Lumina, but a great utility car, that I'd like to keep. I was thinking of firstly waiting for the weather to warm up, and see if the problem was the hood or latch was frozen. If that doesn't work, then I'll assume the latch is rusted shut, OR the cable is broken. If the cable broke ( can't see why) then your method would not work. Any ideas for me ? Good video BTW :) How would I know if the cable is broken ? Go by feel ???

My release works fine... It pops. Up but won't open or close

can this valave be changed with full lines? or it is always needed to empty them?

Same problem except the release button was broke. How do you get hood open when release button doesnt work at all

Appreciate the sage advice. Road trip Ready now. You Rock!!!

really helps, Thank you

Awesome, thanks!

Life shaver. Used a plastic shim. Popped right up. Blasted the mechanism with half a bottle of WD whites grease!

I used a hole saw 3 inc to cut a hole right under where the gear is on the bottom side so I can work better, it worked great. easy to work on then sand the hole inside the printer so the paper feeds just use about 20-30- pieces of paper and it feeds great took me 1/2 hour and shes been ok for 50 pages printed so far good luck.

This worked I used a wood ruler. Thank you!!

Oh my freaking good, thank you and thank my bf for having random things strong wood laying around, thank you

This video is 12 years old, but it still helped me a ton. Thank you very much.

Extremely helpful, thank you ‼️

what lube works

You just saved me ty

Whoa see my car has been sitting at kroger for the past 4 days bc I can't get the hood open. Thank you soo much I'm about to try this!!

What type of lubricant? Not sure if I'll need it but right now my hood is stuck as well

I literally had the exact same issue with mine. Thanks for the tip. Worked like a charm.

W mans it worked. I had to use a spatula

I did what you did and it really helped when it rains a little or when i wash my car, but when it rains non stop the roof and the floor get really wet. Does that mean I probably need a new seal?

My guy you just saved another person here. My battery died on me and hood won't open but this video helped. Thank you for this video❤

Thank you so much. My passenger floor was flooded. I followed all your steps and it all worked perfectly. But I did not make that final test in the end. I hope everything went fine. Also, do we have to do this for the driver's side as well? I am afraid now. 😅

Thank you so much really work!!

That worked, thanks a lot!

This should have been a recall with all the failures.

Yeah do physical labor while Jews take your money

@OWK000 I was thinking maybe dryer sheets under the pant hose. Lol. They too are breathable... And the smell good too. So I'd assume it'd work like an air freshener while also acting as a prefilter. Lol. I'm all for dual purpose items... Especially ones that smell good. Lol.

Maybe a bad clutch, not enough/too much coolant or a malfunctioning expansion valve.

What could the problem be if you have these symptoms in a S?

Update! That was the problem! Thanks for posting the video. Obviously you helped save my family alot of money! Thank you
