Do u mean another way to add freon,if so yes u can get a gauge and nozzle that goes on a R-134a can at any local auto parts store,just make sure not to over fill.
My compressor just went out. Do I need to drain the AC system before installing a new compressor, also is a vacuum test necessary, or can I just recharge the system afterwards? Thanks
I'm not sue what u mean by drain system. but always vacuum out the system if not when u fill up with freon u will have moisture and it will not cool ass well.
I think I need a new compressor. I threw some gauges on my 2015 and the low side is high (120 psi @ 85 degrees ambient) and the high side is low (110 psi). The clutch engages, but the vent temp is only a few degrees below ambient. Thoughts?
At 85 degrees your low side should be at or around 40 psi,you have a problem and unfortunately I wouldn't know without looking at it in person to tell you what it is.
@@timzauto Thanks very much. I pulled the vacuum after changing my compressor and Orings. But I left it in a vacuum state overnight and checked it after 8 hours, it was still holding -30. This morning though it climbed back to 0. Now I am not sure what to do. Its not able to pull a vacuum.
@@hizdesinezz sounds like a leak,either a leak or a restriction will cause a no vacuum situation,but if u already pulled a vacuum on the system,I would fill it up some and check it for leaks,with dye or a meter.
@@timzauto Hey Timz. I was successful at replacing my AC Compressor. Thanks so much for your help. I measured 14F at my vents and its pretty dang cold. I wouldn't have been able to do it without your video so thanks so much again!
Great video thank you!
Good video
Good info
Cool
Great video , is there another way to recharge the compressor if you dont have the equipment to charge

When pulling the vacuum, doesn't it also pull the oil out of the compressor?
No, Vacuuming only removes gases, not liquids.

Is it an after market compressor?
It is from O'Reilly's, part #57492
Is that a 2.5?
Yes,but the 2.0 and 2.5 take the same a/c compressor.
