Thank you for taking time to edumacate us! I know its hard work because you are doing a great job on your videos. Respect 👏
Have a shot every time he says “system” 😳
haha!
Great explaination Mr Subaru! 👍
Thank you for all your videos!!
Great video, a lot of people tend not to leave the system on vacuum. I try at least a hour minimum if I can leave over night I will!
Yep my low side did the same on my 13 when I unscrewed my cap too.
Another good video, the consensus is leave AC work to the experts...!
Dude, I’ve done many successful jobs with the cans from Autozone. Not once did I use stop leak of any kind.
Love the Snap On rig.
I would go to check my XV 2011, but I live in Argentina!!! Thank you for the videos!
You're welcome!
Bring back r12 is was cold!
Thanks Mr Subaru I am not critical but you forgot to check the path the condensation takes to come out of the vehicle to make sure it is not blocked and clean the cowl cover for debris.
Lol and I’m just about to fix my Legacys AC thanks!
cool content you deserve more views
Cool video, I have owned to many Subarus to mention (always bought new other than my GC6 mentioned prior), I always thought they had AC systems on the weaker side, same advised by my buddies who also buy Subarus. Man do I wish you lived near Long Island, I wouldn't trust a local place to do this service correctly, especially adding back in the pag oil. I actually don't trust them do much of anything correctly, maybe brakes they do okay since that is a pretty simple service, even then they cut corners and do a sloppy job. I used to do brakes myself but live in an apt now, makes car work a pain in the ass.
Lerv learning about my Suby.
Diy video would have been great this video is just not realistic for diy'ers but luckily there's plenty. It was still some what educational and I can't imagine a professional or mechanic watching this video either but ty!
Love your videos. I have a 2011 Outback and it’s cool, but I think it’s a little low. I’ve been looking for published high and low side readings as I wanted to add some if I’m able to. Or should I just take it somewhere and do what you just showed us which goes strictly by amount instead of pressure ? Thanks
Please
AC cleaning and best cleaner also HEPA FILTERS like Bosch
Hey mrSubaru! Love these videos. I’ve learned so much and done a lot of work on my 04 bean based off of your videos.
How would I contact your shop? I live in the upstate as well. I’d love an inspection from a pro on what needs work needs to be done next.
Unfortunately I don't have a shop right now, as you see I've been filming in the driveway at my farm for the last few months. Estimates are out right now on a new, large, shop to be built at the farm. As soon as I have that up, I will be accepting customers.
With more GDI engines coming from Subaru now. could you do a video on your thoughts about maintenance on them? I have seen video that some GDI engines can get their valves clogged real bad. I have seen inconsistent advice based by car brand/model about what to do, but running GDI cleaner of some sort at each oil change is what I have guessed would be best. could you also try to cover running GDI cleaner through a Subaru engine?
Very informative video, thanks! The KoolKare machine makes the job a lot easier. What happens to the old recovered refrigerant? Do you have to take it to a recycling center somewhere?
The machine filters and recycles it itself for use in the vehicle, or others.
@@MrSubaru1387 Wow, no wonder so many techs use it. Tks again.
I have a 2012 Subaru Impreza. The AC Evaporator core failed in the beginning of 2019 and I replaced it, along with the expansion valve and seals. The system was Evacuated and recharged, but doesn't cool as it once did. It only gets down to about 55 degrees. The dealership states the condenser is leaking and wanted $1200. I said no, and now 1.25 years later, it still blows 55 degrees. If it was leaking, would it not now be too low on refrigerant to work at all? Any advice you can provide? Thanks in advance and keep those videos coming! :)
Why do you replace valves under vacuum instead of doing it after recovery?
Hola, te escribo desde Perú, mi subaru impreza 2008 tarda en arrancar, yo mismo revisé la bomba de combustible, que más puedo revisar ahora???? Gracias y muchos saludos.
The A/C on my 06XT is still as factory fitted and gassed in 2006. Never had an issue.
Fascinating but I know my limits! This is one of the things I will let a mechanic do and I'm sure I can get it for less than $325.00
How much does it generally cost? I live very far away would be nice to see a comparison.
Hi @MrSzbarz1387 i have a question. My subaru is making cracky noise when i break and turn. It is doing only when braking and turning. Can you help me what it should be ? :/ brakes and discs ade okey. :/ Thank in advance.
The AC system on my Impreza (2012) has been dead for a while. I haven't been driving it so repairing it is not a top priority.
I know there is at least one leak, where the high side hose connects to the compressor. What I'd love to know is, without that fancy SnapOn machine, how can I know the system is low on PAG oil and how do I add oil to the system?
Mr. Subaru guy.. I have a question for you regarding a 2002 Subaru Outback LL Bean Edition. I discovered the typical A/C O-ring leaks at the compressor and replaced those 2 O-rings. My question now is, it looks as if the AC Compressor Clutch is faulty as it has busted springs on the outside. When it does manage to spin the car gets cold. But it is hit and miss. I was wondering if you happen to know if the clutch assembly can be replaced or is there just a outer spring assembly available? If you could please give me some information as I really don't want to replace a whole compressor that is still working besides the clutch being bad.
Can you email me a picture at MrSubaru1387@gmail.com?
If the compressor seized up and likely sent metal into the system, will that contaminate the ac recovery machine when recovering the refrigerant?
And 1234yf is somewhat flammable!
Yup.
Good morning my Subaru let me ask you 1996 Legacy Outback torque specs for a front axle ?
I think the gauge was reading in Celsius, which would put the vent temp around 40 Fahrenheit
Didn't think about that, nor pay attention. it may have accidentally been switched.
All AC compressor oil types including synthetic
If your AC compressor failed, would it be catastrophic to the rest of the engine?
Wouldn’t it just throw the serpentine belt?
I'm planning on ripping the AC out of my WRX lol, I guess this information is somewhat relevant to what I'm doing in a way
Why would you rip it out?
@@MrSubaru1387 I live in wisconsin so we don't really need it too much up here, also because I'm planning on making it into a rally cross car
@@MrSubaru1387 The main obstacle im trying to get over now is that the alternator uses the compressor as a mounting point so ill need to fabricate a new bracket for the alternator to mount on, or just hack up the compressor and use its remains as a bracket haha
Grooove Im fairly certain there’s a pulley that can go into place for that, but to be honest with you I live in Newfoundland Canada and I use the AC all the time in winter to get rid of frost faster
AC is pretty useful and snowy weather for pulling moisture out of there and defrosting. If you were rallying it probably isn't a small amount of horsepower that's holding you back. It's probably skills tires and suspension. I'd keep the AC.
How to adapt a Si liquid on the Snap On machine
Someone said that the dryer and accumulator does that for the system?
But what was the high and low pressure?
I'm in central NC. Are you in a position to take on occasional out-of-the-area customers?
Not yet. As soon as the shop is built I can.
My 2010 Subaru outback 2.5 pushes only a little bit of cold air with the A/C on during a warm day. My dad said my cooling fluid was low so I bought a kit. I followed the instructions but no cooling fluid came out of the bottle and the pressure read something like 105 psi.. Is my A/C's compressor weak or is something? Thank you for your help
105psi on the low side?! Did the compressor clutch cycle on and off?
@@MrSubaru1387 Yes, I can hear the compressor engage when I put it on and disengage when I turn it off. And 105 psi above the blue zone (between the blue and red zone)
105psi is way too high for the low side reading. You're likely overcharged.
@@MrSubaru1387 Too correct this problem myself, what can I do? Can I simply press on the valve below the cap?
@@TheCharacter97 no. You'll have to have the system recovered.
Well Google is apparently selling Snake oil as your ads, Also I've got a bad Subaru my AC is pretty terrible and seems to completely shut off at 5500k
What a bargain, my dealer charges $400 for FULL AC SERVICE
Apparently I charge too little. Haha. Reckon that's why my first shop was a financial failure.
Doing a pressure test under vacuum is only using 14.7psi so it’s not something that is very useful
If the system can't/won't hold a vacuum, then it won't hold refrigerant. Leak testing, via a system's ability to hold vacuum, is an essential tool in the hvac diagnostic arsenal.
