hawksoob Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I haven't been on in a while, which I guess is a good thing, since I haven't had any issues to get advice about. Well, now there's some issueage. Recently on these hot-as-a-field-of-burining-stumps days in the South, I've noticed that my AC is pretty much AWOL when the car is idling. Nice and frosty when on the road. Sitting in a parking lot - warm to hot air coming out. What's up with that? I've never had the AC recharged in the 4 years and 70K miles I've had it. Is this a symptom of low charge of freon? Or could the culprit be a darker, deeper, more nefarious (and more expensive) spectre? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 sounds like low coolant and a leaky o ring someplace. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltCar Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Some compressors have a built-in leak to lubricate the pulley shaft bearing, don't know if it applies to yours. Those systems need a boost every five years or so. I would clean the condensor and evaporator and check the airflow through each and then check the charge. Read about aluminum cleaning and keep that condenser spotlessly clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
