06 Scion XB: Worst AC EVER!!!!!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2019
- I've never had so much trouble fixing an AC on any car as I've had on this one!!! This is by far the worst AC Compressor design I've ever seen!!! Stear clear of any car with this design of AC system!!! Buy magnetic clutch AC Compressors only!!! Hope this helps you not make a costly mistake by buying one of these AC systems!!! Thanks for watching and Keep Rocking!!!
Dude. This is one of the most reliable cars on the planet. AC lasts hundreds of thousands of miles on them. Mine has 300,000 miles and AC blows ice cold.
Just got one at 316,000 miles... I like it!!
yup
Dude not every car'd equipment lasts the same. Im working on an 05 xa with 140k miles and the ac system is not functioning at idle unless you rev the engine, on a normal mag clutch I could watch to see if the ac is being engaged when told but now I have to dig into the wiring and hope to find some schematics on Google because I can't afford $2k for tech info.
@@fjb666 have you found out about the mag clutch i did mine with an echo compressor with lines and when i hook up the control valve wiring to the clutch it engages all the time even when not using ac.
@@angelodonate8272 Without service data I would have to guess a wiring difference. What voltages do you get at control valve and do they change depending on if the ac button is on or not? And make sure to test with vent mode on face, defrost mode will turn compressor on.
You may need to figure out what voltage/signal is being sent down control line compared to what the echo compressor needs to turn off/on. One could be simple on/off voltage or ground control and other could be pwm or other modulated signal control.
I bought a 2006 XB with 91k about 2.5 years ago. I replaced a blown head and the ac compressor with a new one from eBay. The system and car ran well. I put around 95k more doing rideshare. Recently, the AC compressor started to turn off on acceleration. Sometimes is came back on. I could put it into neutral, then click on and off switch it would engage ac compressor. I assumed I just wore out that compressor, replaced it with a new one. Same issues. Turned off during acceleration. Decided to try to install a new compressor with a clutch from a 2001 Echo, after reading comments and ideas. I ordered on on eBay $130. The compressor bolts on the same. The hose from the expansion valve to compressor from the Echo fits correctly. The hose from the condenser to the compressor is different. The Echo hose fits compressor but does not connect properly to the XB condenser. I got two used hoses at junkyard for $10 each xb and echo. We used the compressor fitting from the Echo, and the condenser fitting from an XB hose. The hose length was the same as Echo one. AAPAK in phx made new hose $50. The belt is shorter. I installed the one from Echo - Napa Micro V 25-040465 4pk118. Electrical - I did not want to cut my scion wires nor the new compressor, in case I needed to uninstall or go back. So I made a connector from junk yard car pigtails. I clipped the male connector from an XB compressor (this end will clip to original XB car wire), then clipped a female connector from the Echo car wire (this end will clip into new Echo type compressor). I connected the Blue wire from XB connector to the Red wire in the Echo to create the connector. Both ends clipped just fine. I did normal evac, expansion valve, charge, etc. I am no expert but it seems to be working, It's been about a about a week. Cools good and no issues so far. I hope it lasts. Hope this helps someone.
I did the same thing you did but now the only problem I have is the clutch does not disengage and engage like it Should any tips you can give me to fix it because eventually‘s going to go bad on me. I wired it just like you did too.
Well Good luck with that Pat. I hope you get it all worked out and make a couple of bucks on the deal. Thanks for sharing.
Luck and a hard head is all we need to kick it's ass!!! Thanks for watching and Keep Rocking!!!
Tough to get a $500 cut out of a $300 car...
I have 290K on my 05 xb. It is used as a second car now. Back in the day, it was mostly highway miles. Other than normal maintenance items, the only problem I ever had with the car was a fan blower replaced a year ago, and the trunk lid handle came off when I yanked it. That said, my ac stopped blowing cold air last summer. I put some Freon in it and it lasted about a week or two. After seeing the video with your bad experience, I am wondering if this ac compressor or system is to tricky to diagnose, and that maybe I should consider taking it to the dealer or an AC specialty shop that might have more experience with this Scion. Doing this would usually be my last choice for normal AC repair work, but WOW, after seeing your video I now hesitate to take this to my usual mechanic. Thanks for the heads up.
My '06 xB has 120k miles on it and I have blown 4 compressors. This is a known problem, and a notorious issue with the gen1 xB. Congrats to those who have never had to replace their compressor. You got lucky. First one I replaced with a Denso. After it failed, went with 2 other ones. It's broken now for like 2 years cuz I just haven't worked on it though I have all the parts to do so. Each compressor seemed to last about 3 years before burning out. Long story short, the cabin air volume is too much for a compressor turned by an engine of this size. It's just under designed for Southern states in the USA where the AC lives on HIGH if the engine is running. Somewhat of a different story in northern states with lower temps. It's a fluid dynamics thing. Sometime I will get around to installing the new parts, but damn... it's hot in the summer.
Good luck pat. Hopefully everything brand new will get it going
Luck and a hard head is all we need to kick it's ass!!! Thanks for watching and Keep Rocking!!!
I need to know if you figured out the fix for this? Did you get a 2001 Toyota echo a/c compressor and swap that in it? If you know what swap works, I’m going to come your way for the work.
Thanks for this! I got an '06 last year that is in pretty good shape (after new struts and a few other minor things), except the AC doesn't work.. Was going to look into fixing it, but won't bother now. It WOULD be nice for a couple months here in NW Ohio, but none of my cars have had AC, & I do well enough with the windows down. Hope you got it sold!
Dude. Just put freon in it with a can. Done!
I own my 2006 for 12 years now 185k and just now it's when my a/c stop cooling. This car is a TONKA
Try that in an American car… would have be relegated to the junk yard a looooong time ago!
You have to flush the lines as I am doing my ac on my box the compressor had metal bits inside so I’m swapping the condenser and flushing everything. So if the compressor activates does it have any audible click or anything to indicate it’s activated? Or do you just feel the air while charging to ensure it’s working.
That is just an unfortunate one I guess. Over 250,000 miles on mine and A/C still runs cold. Good to know though to take a look at that compressor 👍 Most individuals including myself are fortunate enough to keep our Scions running tip top.
I have a 2004 XB with 315,500 miles, just 2 weeks ago my AC started acting up, cooling when driving but not when at a stop or just parked with AC fully blast. Just yesterday I replace the fan because it was only running I’m at lower speed but the high wasn’t kicking in. Although is cooling much better when driving one you come to a full stop it only blows arm air. So I started to guess that probably one the same issues you mentioned on this video is what’s happening to mine also. Having my mechanic/ ac tech take a look at it.
Great video, hope you were able to resolve the issue. Thank you for sharing.
Check To See If Your Radiator Cooling Fan Is On When Stopped!!! It Should Come On When The AC Is On!!! IF It's Not Then That Will Be Why It Cools Going Down The Road But Not At Stops!!! Be Sure To Check That First!!! Hope That Helps!!!! And Yes I Did Resolve The Problem With The Car!!! Bad Low Side Hole Collapsing Causing A Blockage That Resulted In An Over Pressure Of The System Causing The Hub To Break!!!
Thanks for Watching And Keep Rocking!!!
@@rockerpat1085 , new cooling fan was just installed yesterday and it’s working on low and high speed when it senses that it’s hot. Based on what you and other XB owners have experienced the compressor seems to be a very common issue based on how it was build.
@@ephraim.1964 Yes May Be Time For A New AC System!!!
Good Luck With It!!!
Keep Rocking!!!
So was the fan the fix or the conpressor that caused the ac not to work when at a stop? I’m having the same issue but on an Xa (same design)
Does anyone recommend a different compressor that would be more reliable and still fit? I know quite a few Toyota parts are interchangeable between models of similar year.
Is the 2012 xb the same setup? I just got quoted $1,500 for the labor alone to fix the a/c. They said something about 6 hours labor on the expansion valve alone. I'm scared.
2001-2003 Prius compressor with a magnetic clutch appears to fit 1 for 1 with 2004-2006 scion xBs
Does it actually fit?
That’s good to know
My ex wife has the same issue she took it to this mechanic that her Dad goes to in SA and AC still dont work she spent close to 1,200 on labor , because we bought the compressor , bought the blow motor, bought filter, bought expention valved , paid for freon , and this AC still dont work...
My clutch is bad. Compressor itself works fine. I have read that it is tricky to remove the compressor clutch and you need a special tool to hook up with your impact wrench. Anyone has any advice or perhaps a video of how to remove this compressor clutch?
Scotty Kilmer scanner Danner and others always said to stay away from rebuilt AC compressors ,Do you you usually have good luck with rebuilt compressors on other cars?
I have an 04 with less than 70k miles and it doesnt blow cold for shit. But it also seems like I have a leak. I attached an AC Pro digital filler and I can see the Psi dropping by 1 maybe every 2 mins
I have the same 06 scion xb my question is my ac condenser just leaked out all my freon and I have been driving for a few weeks with no a.c. I bought the ac condenser and do you think my ac compressor is no good anymore? My issue was only a leak on my ac condenser but I don't know if me driving with the compressor spinning kills it. Thanks.
Mine has 200K+ and the A/C keeps going out. Still love the car. Good info.
That thing is beat to shit. I bought my 2006 scion xb new. It has 94,000 on it now and I take care of it. Every weekend i work on it. Just keeping things up. Its a great cheap runner car.
Can anybody help me find the size bolt that connects the liquid tube sub assembly to the condenser, and the discharge hose to the condenser? Should be the same size, but somebody backed their trailer hitch into my front end awhile ago, and I had to replace the radiator. Now that I'm ready to replace the condenser and the fan assembly, I have no idea what happened to all of the bolts that I had. If I knew what size I needed, I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to find a pair of replacement bolts. It's an 06 Scion xB (Maroon as well, just like in the video.)
What brand of compressor are you buying?
Ma never had a problem with hers. It was a company car. She drove it as a medicare taxi and over the course of about ten years put over 360,000 miles on that box. Only reason she isn't driving it today is because the guy that owned the company retired and the business closed.
I'm sure that car was in rough condition by the time it got 300 thousand miles on it!!! Glad someone had good luck with this ugly duckling!!! Thanks for watching and Keep Rocking!!!
If i ever have to break into any A/C system, it is dead from there on in... way to rock it Pat !
I just had my compressor go our on my '06 XB but it has 250+K miles so I guess I got lucky. Well lucky until I found out how expensive it is to replace.
Did you ever figure out the problem that was making the compressor go out ? I’m only asking because I just had the compressor go out on my 06 Scion xb and just today got a new one. I also got a new expansion valve and condenser for it. Please let me know what you had to do on that one to get it fixed ?
The Low Side Hose Was Collapsing Causing The Head Pressure To Spike Which Caused The Compressor Hub To Snap!!! I Had The Hoses Replaced And The Problem Went Away!!! Hope That Helps!!!
Thanks for Watching and Keep Rocking!!!
Yo Pat what a headache! What kind of place, if you don't mind, replaced the rubber hoses on your expansion hoses?
I have an AC company here in Houston that can replace the rubber hoses for me!!! There name is Dixie Air, you can look them up if you're in Houston!!!
Thanks for watching and Keep Rocking!!!
@@rockerpat1085 I sincerely appreciate the speedy response. Stay safe good sir.
I’m actually in the position now of having to buy a new a/c compressor for my 2006 Scion XA. Do you have any advice? I would hate to have to replace it twice.
Check one out of a pruis
Buy Denso only
JUST ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN & APPRECIATE WHAT MOTHER NATURE PROVIDES!!!
That is crazy !!! Make it cheaper so the CEO can pocket a bigger bonus !!!
Someone is making money!!! Stupid engineer's!!! Thanks for watching and Keep Rocking!!!
I have a 2006 Scion XB and I have had nothing but issues for almost 5 years with the AC. It has been fixed 3 times and just went out again last month. I got a quote for 1000 to replace the entire system . I said the car only blue books for maybe 2000.. why would i dump another 1000 into it? Other than the AC the car runs great... just have to live with no AC..Dont waste your money to fix it.
My xB has 318 thousand miles on it's original AC compressor lmao.
Reman compressors, or reman ANYTHING is often trash unless you buy DENSO. ...I'd sooner buy an "untested" used one from ebay or a junkyard before I trust some crap from the local parts store.
Just because it's different doesn't necessarily make it bad. Heck, I've seen way more locked up compressor clutch bearings than actual compressors lock up. And it sounds like your problem was with a hose anyway, so maybe the original compressor was fine? Maybe the hose was damaged in a crash? Certainly the car looks like it's been through a pinball machine! haha.
A delaminated hose can silently kill a comp. Not enough oil flowing back. Really difficult to diagnose especially with a variable displacement compressor.
The trouble behind repeat AC issues/compressor seizures is both due to inept users letting the system work (which with clutchless compressors equates to turning the engine on) with a low charge and idiot workshops who don't understand how to properly repair systems and take as many shortcuts as they can even when the customer isn't asking for a cheap repair. You've likely been regularly servicing your AC and keeping the refrigerant charge optimal. I''ve been running my original compressor for 17 years, though not a Scion (the only thing in common with a Scion xB is the Denso TXV), not clutchless and less than half the mileage. I had to fix a few leaks and to endure the misdeeds of workshop idiots who even got so far as leaving a leaking schrader in place and damaging the liquid line.
we got 2 this at a junk yard near use 20 dollars peace but if you hose bad i try get them new
my 2005 scion xb has just about 250,000 on it and cold air love it
Use the compressor from a 1.5 toyo pruis. They have mag. Clutch and super fit right on. In the junk yard works great
What year prius exactly?
Replacing the 2 hoses and compressor along with condenser fixed the issue for good afterall?
Is the like a yes or unknown? Lol @rockerpat
The Ultimate Problem With This Ac Was A Bad Low Side Hose Collapsing Causing A Over Pressure That Broke The Compressor Drive Hub 3 Times!!!
So Yes I Replaced Both The Hoses Another Compressor And The Condenser To Solve This Car's AC.
Keep Rocking!!!
@@rockerpat1085 awesome thanks for the reply brother!!!
Good luck pat
Luck and a hard head is all we need to kick it's ass!!! Thanks for watching and Keep Rocking!!!
Never seen one like this one and now I hope I never do . Good luck with this , I would bet it’s blowing cold by now . It comes down to cars are made to be thrown away and not fix .....give me old stuff any day .
I concur on all those statements!!! Thanks for watching and Keep Rocking!!!
My xB just had the same issue with the compressor, it blocked and broke the serpentine belt, I was far from home so after a few tries with a new belt the compresor is free, but obviously no A/C anymore.
Where I live the A/C is not that important ¿Is there a problem with running the car with the compressor wrecked?
No. As long as the pulley spins you should be fine!!! Thanks for watching and Keep Rocking!!!
You will have a hard time defrosting your windshield and windows, whereas if you had functional AC all it would take would be pressing a button and be done in a few seconds, but apart from that, and carrying some unnecessary weight, no problem
Better watch it, that old man might kick you arse.
I just watched the video i have the same problem with my son car what was the result with the last compressor did work for you?
The Low Side Hose Was Bad Causing An Internal Blockage That Would Cause The Pressure To Spike Which Caused The Hub To Break!!! I Replaced The Hoses And The Problem Went Away!!!
Thanks for Watching and Keep Rocking!!!
Really appreciate I will do the same thank you
did you ever figure out what the issue was. I'm having the same problem
Yes It Was The Low Side Hose Collapsed Causing The Pressure To Spike That Then Caused The Compressor Hub To Break!!! I Had The Hoses Replaced And The Problem Went Away!!a
Good Luck With Your Car!!!
Thanks for Watching and Keep Rocking!!!
You are right. That is just mechanically not a sound design.
Bad design all the way around!!! Thanks for watching and Keep Rocking!!!
Hope you changed the txv as well with the compressors
Yes I replaced the expansion valve, the condenser/dryer and flushed the evaporator core!!! I always do these things when I replace a compressor!!! Standard procedure!!!
Thanks for watching and Keep Rocking!!!
Doing the job tomorrow. Great 😆
I have a 2004 xb, ac only blows cold when driving.. at a stop, nothing.. what am I missing? No check engine light.. just replaced the cabin fan too..
Cooling Fan Motor May Be Out!!! Turn the AC On And See If The Cooling Fan Motor Is Turning On The Radiator!!!
If The AC Works Going Down The Road But Not At Stops It's Most Likely The Cooling Fan Is Not Working!!!!
Hope That Helps and As Always;
Keep Rocking It Out!!!
@@rockerpat1085 what's up hru? OK I changed my coolent today and let it run the fan came on a couple times no problem any other things it could be 🤔
Iv just changed one and not a thing wrong with it I don’t know what your calling it no problem at all😎
The Problem Is There Is No Clutch On The Compressor And If The High Side Skyrockets Up There Is No Way To Stop The Compressor From Breaking The Front Hub!!!!
It's All In The Video As To Why This Is A BAD DESIGN!!!!
Good Luck With Yours Because The Piece Of Crap In This Video Is Gone From My Shop And Will Never Be Back!!!
The engineers knew that when they designed it. That idea they worked off of is junk.
Good luck figuring that out.
Engineering used to be a profession to be proud of, but not anymore!!! They all build JUNK!!! Thanks for watching and Keep Rocking!!!
You must have got a lemon because my 05 has great air and great heat in the winter at 18 years old and i think 149 thousand on her
I have this compressor on my 2012 scion xb. It sucks. My ac would take forever to turn on when it first starts and also would cut out intermittently while driving. I bought a brand new one from denso and its back at it again. Worst design ever!
I am going to try and do it my self for her cause it is super hot in Texas
Wait so you’re saying it’s direct drive and there’s no clutch on the OEM compressor? That’s strange because my toyota bB which is the jdm version of the xB clearlyhas a clutch that grabs on when I turn the ac on. I can feel it in the power and sometimes see it a little in the idle rpm. Strange
Yes, you have a Denso SCSA scroll compressor equipped with a clutch.
TeraVolt shouldn’t that be the standard compressor? Or do some models not come with it for some reason?
@@connorlearmonth665 I Google Toyota BB compressor and lots of SCSA08C compressors pop out. The xA is an export version of another JDM known as Toyota Ist and this one has a clutchless too. Maybe they just did away with the clutchless design later on and reverted to the old tried and tested Denso scroll featured on the first gen Vitz for some reason (clutchless are really vulnerable to running with no charge)
TeraVolt my bB is a 2000 model, so you’re saying they originally had a clutch and then tried to save money by going clutchless on later models? I wonder if all xBs are the same then.
@@connorlearmonth665 Really a matter of NVH (noise vibration harshness), not money. The clutch on the fixed displacement scroll needs to cycle on and off to stop the evaporator from freezing up, more so when the engine is revved about, even though the TXV will adjust the flow as the evaporator cools down so to make it cycle less often compared to the typical old American car cycling clutch orifice tube system. This can get really annoying on a minicar with a low displacement engine, not a concern on a muscle car instead. The clutchless comp, like any variable displacement comp, never cycles on and off. Just goes low displacement once the evaporator is cold enough, so no more "bumps" while riding about. However the clutchless is easily damaged whenever the system experiences a serious refrigerant leak. The clutch on the scroll just kicks out for good once refrigerant pressure is low enough, instead. The later iQ used a clutch equipped variable displacement piston design. How do they keep the "bump" from happening whenever AC is turned on, on that one? They use a refrigerant flow sensor to ramp up piston displacement slowly. So while it has a clutch and a low displacement engine, compressor engagement torque stops being a NVH concern. And the clutch allows to save the compressor when refrigerant is lost.
I have an '05 and its blowing 78 degrees when its barely 90 out. Going crazy trying to figure out why its so weak.
Full charge and compressor runs. what to do??
What are the pressures?
Also be sure to watch my video titled "My 8n Is Driving Me Nuts" and you will see what the pressures should be on this car with 40 degrees vent temperature!!!
So I’m showing 47psi low and 155 high.
About 85 degrees outside this morning.
@@19Kain76 I think your compressor is going out!!! Too high on the low side and not high enough on the high!!! Maybe time for a complete rebuild!!! That's a compressor, condenser and expansion valve!!! Good luck and Keep Rocking!!!
Ugh!
Might be time to trade it in.
it wasn't the hoses or the comp. like you said it has no way to save itself. the wire harness north of the comp is melted and sending compress signal when it should be off. or the solenoid itself is sticking open which is unlikely since they fail closed.
It was the hose!!! No wiring harness problem and no codes!!! Real shity system for sure!!! Keep Rocking Wayne!!!
@@rockerpat1085 how does a hose make it go full pressure all the time? makes no sense.
@@pawpawtina Because the hose has a crack on the inside and it will get a balloon inside closing off the hose and will build pressure behind the bulge inside!!! Brake hoses will do the same thing and will keep the brakes applied!!! I replaced the hoses and no longer have the problem with the car!!! Stay tuned for my next video to see the car working right!!! Hoses can be a problem!!!
@@rockerpat1085 holy shit thats crazy.. first i have heard of that. good find!
@@pawpawtina Think about how hoses are made. They are several layers of rubber and cording. All it takes is a crack in the inside layer and it will balloon!!! Remember, hoses wear out from the inside out!!! They may look good on the outside but be crap on the inside!!! Remember that when you have a car that you think the calipers are sticking after you drive it for awhile, but after it sits they release!!! I've seen this problem lot's of times!!! Hope you learned something on the subject!!! Keep Rocking!!!
I think I would have sold it for 500 and be done. But anyways .... that overfill (high pressure) is probably not so good on that sorry a$$ system! Rock on brother!
The problem is that once I bought the compressor I had no choice but to fix it or loose my money!!! And I don't like losing money!!! Thanks for watching and Keep Rocking!!!
Actually, it's serious underfills that kill these compressors in particular
Sounds to me like never flush the system after the first failed compressor. Which contaminated your system and kept ruining the other compressors
Nope!!! The Problem Was That The Low Side Hose Was Collapsing Causing An Instant Blockage Causing The Compressor To Lock Causing The Hub To Break The Tabs Making The Compressor Turn!!! Everytime This Happened It Broke The Compressor Hub Rendering The Compressor Useless!!!
The System Doesn't Have Any Way To Disengage The Compressor When Too High Of Pressure Happens!!! Very Bad Design!!!
Thanks for Watching and Keep Rocking!!!
That’s not an OEM set up. The OEM box compressor comes with a magnetic clutch. Looks like a conversion. Lots of people doing it to their XB’s for some reason which makes no sense. The clutch turns on and off to prevent the evap from freezing. So much for physics
TOTAL B.S.!!! You are wrong!!!
Rocker Pat
Hey bud. You called it. I’m not too much of a man to admit that, yep, I was wrong. However when adding refrigerant to the system of my XB I could hear the clutch cycling (clicking on then clicking off) which lead me to believe I had a magnetic clutch. I never knew there was such a thing as a non magnetic ac clutch on an automotive ac compressor. So, somehow it seems to be cycling on and off. Anyway good luck with the repair.
I'll keep my eye out for those fuckers.!!..I'm sure I've seen 'em....Looks like a pretty common pump and hose mounting so I'm wondering if you could fit a common clutch style pump and hook up an on switch...Just a thought.
Buy BRAND NEW AC Compressors. Reman are junk. It's not Toyota's fault
Shit my 06 xb a.c sucks right now and it's hot as hell in Florida
Did you figure it out? Im inFlorida and mine just went bad, stopped blowing.
So what was the outcome???
The Car Had A Low Side Hose Blocking The System And Causing The Compressor To Break!!!
I Replaced Both Hoses And That Fixed The AC!!! Good Luck With Yours!!!
Thanks for Watching and Keep Rocking!!!
Shoulda just hit the junk yard for them hoses I have a few laying around
I could of spent all day running around trying to find these hoses at a junk yard or I could just drop them off at Dixie Air and have new hoses installed, which is what I did!!! Cost me 50 bucks and was done that afternoon!!! Problem solved without wasting time running around all over Houston hoping they would have one of these POS cars!!! With as old as it is that leaves the "Pick And Pull" type of yards and that is way to hit and miss for an Auto Garage!!!

Not so fast, cowboy. Mine lowers the temp 35F. Better believe it. At 85F outside temp it starts to feel unfomfortable for your head - it's that strong.
But you need to know how to make it work like that. And it's almost free to do.

Now you don't even know what is true what is a lie.
And that enrages you.
Bye Now, Honey Bunny.
you gotta stop buying refurbished man. Get a brand new OEM Denso compressor and you wont have any issues.
Would Not Have Mattered In This Case The Problem Was The Low Side Hose Closing Off Spiking Pressure In The Compressor Breaking The Clutch less Hub Rendering The Compressor Dead!!!
The Compressor Was Not The Problem But The System Not Having A Way To Stop The Compressor From Turning Is Ultimately The Problem And Why It Took 3 Compressors To Figure Out What Was Really The Problem!!! If The System Had a Clutch And A High Pressure Cut Out Switch I Could Of Found The Problem Faster And Much Easier With A LOT LESS FRUSTRATION!!! Lol!!!

Dude thank you for explaining why it cost me $1800 when I went in for a condenser
How are you going to sell the car for ?
Are you asking how much do I want for the car? I want 2500.00 dollars!!! Car had 80k miles and all new AC. Do you want to buy it?
Worst AC EVER? No...that award goes to another car. Did you ever work on the A/C of a mid 70's or mid 80's Porsche 911?.....a car never designed to have A/C in the first place?.....2 condensers....one in the front....another in the rear engine compartment.......miles of (leak-prone) rubber hoses....complex and fully inexplicable fresh air and A/C, heat control levers......no, I didn't think so.......

@@rockerpat1085 ..just sayin there is another car to take that title of worst AC. To say "Worst" you need to have experience with a number of different cars.

Good luck!!! Should be doable!!! Thanks for watching and Keep Rocking!!!
@@rockerpat1085 I will do it one way or another cause that POS compressor is not going back on it..period!
It's no POS actually. A lot of cars have this kind of compressor nowadays. The real concern is that if you ever have a leak you should fix it ASAP. Especially, if you have a sudden severe leak (traffic accident that results in a pierced condenser) you have to turn the engine off and have the car towed to someone who will fix everything up and seal the system again. Driving it even with AC off results in the compressor delubricating itself and overheating since there's no refrigerant to cool it down and carry lube across the system. Normally, in a fully functional system, when you have AC OFF the solenoid runs it a short while from time to time to flow some refrigerant to the compressor, that way the evaporator doesn't freeze up even if you have the blower off and the compressor is cooled down and lubed (otherwise, when the solenoid isn't turning it on, it runs on "short circuit"; it doesn't flow anything through the system; it only flows some lube through the compressor casing). That's the catch with these compressors. Either find a way to decouple the pulley from the shaft, or have someone tow the car. If you don't, it will seize up.
@@teravolt6113 mine failed without losing any refrigerant
@@timsouttahere Same with the one in this video!!! Failed 3 times due to a collapsing low side hose!!! Failed so fast there was no time to turn off the car before the compressor shaft connection with the pully broke rendering the compressor trash!!! I stand by what I have said before, it the worst AC compressor in the world!!! Total trash if it can self destruct so easily!!!
