A great explanation of the very important aspects of cooling the inside of an automobile and what to look at. Air conditioning is one of those things that no one thinks about until it does not work then all hell breaks loose. I feel maintenance of cars in general is something that is declining as makers use how far you can travel between services as a sales enhancer when in fact it is a negative for your vehicle. In many ways modern vehicles can last so much longer than earlier models but in a few critical areas cost cutting, weight reduction, and shoddy emissions components have made them less reliable and expensive to maintain.
@@frasercrone3838 changing all the fluids, much more often, especially transmission engine, and if it has a rear end or some sort of different differential fluid. Much more often than the manufacturer recommends can add 100 or 200,000 miles to the life of a vehicle.
I do like the variable displacement compressors, Takes care of this issue and a few others. Has been fairly reliable in my experience minus the flow sensor failures.
Yes, the flow sensor or the compressor displacement solenoid are the two biggest failure issues Then you have the technicians who kill them and destroy them and damage them because they think they’re gonna fill the system up by looking at pressures when the computer and the sensors are continuously trying to change the pressures as they keep adding more refrigerant . Because the technicians are uneducated and don’t know any better
@@coldfinger459sub0 no info on those. Just started at a company that does heavy duty ac and they work on a lot of buses. Saw those compressors for the first time and was like whoa!
MY COROLLA IS 32 YEARS OLD 300K MILES AND AC IS ICE COLD AND ALL, INCLUDING FREON IS STILL FACTORY. REPLACED THE CLUTCH PULLEY BEARING AND TENSIONER BEARING... WHILE NEWER CARS GETTING THE AC FIXED.
@@janpur1417 yeah my mom’s old 1972 Ford Mustang went just over 20 years before I did the first air-conditioning service on it. It did not lose refrigerant.
The gap on my '03 Forester got so wide that it wouldn't pull the clutch in. I pulled shims closing the gap.
@@dans_Learning_Curve that’s exactly how it’s done 👍. I mentioned that in the other video showed a demonstration

You ever worked on those big bus compressors the size of a small engine?
@@hisautorepair124 yes
Only a few times

Who cares
@@Bleachanna the customers who air-conditioning doesn’t work in the summertime. 🤣
@@coldfinger459sub0 that is true though😂😂
subaru using toyota denso y not last long as toyota
