the goat Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 i have had my 90 loyale for 3 years now and the ac has never worked (not normally a problem) but now that i am a "ymca executive" i sometimes have to wear dress clothes to events when it is hot. so, to avoid sweating i was going to check on getting the ac fixed. how do i know if it needs coolant or if the compressor is bad. thanks for the help.

86subaru Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 is there a ac belt on , does the compressor turn at all ? it might just need recharged, but i would say it has r12 in it , all the old oil and r12 has to taken out ,, and replace all o- rings , switch over to r134 it is much cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Smith Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 if your AC has not worked for 3 years you will have to replace the expansion valve and most likely the drier. Add one ounce of oil per item replaced. I use R12a, a compatible freon alternative, no oil flush lower head pressures. Find it here http://www.foxtoolsupply.com/HC-12a.htm. My system took about a can and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
