Always do a leak test when you vacuum down the AC system you want to leave the gauges on so you can determine if you have a leak for example you vacuum the system down then you wait a half an hour to see if the system vacuum level goes down make sure all the fittings on your gauges are secured and tight always do the leak test this will save you money on freon I also always replace the Schrader valve on the AC system Schrader valves are always a likely possibility because they go bad and it is a big possibility that you may have a bad straighter valve so I always change to Schrader valves when doing any AC work

AC can be a real problem. Always measure the price against what you would gain. I had to spend 20% of my used car's price onto the whole AC system - compressor was shot, non-native gas was loaded in the system, eating away at the seals, making it leak at multiple points, clutch pulley melted due to the shot compressor. sucks to be left without AC to dry the cabin air at winter - scraping ice off the inside of the front windshield with a cold engine. AC is not entirely necessary for a car to run (leave it off, won't be a bother, but can save you from trouble both during summer and winter.

Some remanufactured compressors are almost as much as 100% new compressors. For that reason alone it only makes more sense to buy a new one. Now usually if you replace the accumulator and orifice tube you ll get a two year warranty on everything whereas just replacing the compressor and reusing the old contaminated parts will void warranty warranty. An orifice tube is usually a couple bucks and the price of an accumulator varies greatly so if it s cheap enough I d replace it. If a part fails under warranty the store can warranty for you including lost Freon.

Dealer charge me 1, 300 for new Compressor. they fix it I say it was worth it. Mine Car still in good shape. No need to buy new car or newer one. 2 years later AC still working good and still no car payments. Got to be ready to repair your ride, set money to the side for just in case. It's better to spend a few hundreds then be on car payments. Average car payments per year is about 4, 000 to 6000 Car repairs about 300 to 1, 500 a year ( maintenance and repairs) I choose to repair. Unless it's a major engine or transmission problem then it's gotta go

Scotty--Doesn't look to be too difficult, but I live in California where, as I recall, you're not permitted (by statute) to work on A/C systems unless you're state-certified to do so. That also applies to buying refrigerant to refill it. I'm sure there are many other states that have similar requirements, so be sure to check the existing law(s) in your area before attempting to work on your car's A/C. If you're not properly trained in working on A/C systems, it could cost you more than just money.

In Houston, an AC is not an option. The same is true of Yuma where I lived for 8 years. The AC on my '84 Chevy Citation had leaks in it and the R-4 compressor was shot (no surprise there, bad compressors. I put a rebuilt compressor in because mo one was making new ones. The only ones I could by from GM were rebuilt. I bought a rebuilt one at one of the chain stores, and it worked good for about 4 years. I would suggest replacing the receiver dryer, just to be safe.

the chevy bowtie is actually a representation of Saturn. Toyota is the constellation Taurus, Subaru is the pleadies star cluster, Volkswagon is Aquarius, Volvo is Mars, and the Saturn car company's logo is a picture of Saturn and rings. Most corporate logos use some sort of astronomical signs in their logos, its an illuminati thing. don't believe me? take a good hard look at corporate logos and you will see it too.

Hey Scotty, I bought a 95 Celica Convertible GT for dirt cheap as a fun project car to learn stick on. It runs and drives good, there is just a problem with the trunk. My key turns and it doesn't open and pulling the trunk release inside doesn't either. It's hard to get in the back cause of the convertible stuff in the way, there's just a hole big enough for my arm and it definitely doesn't reach. what should I do?

Biggest issue with trying to get an old car running is usually old gas in it. Drain or siphon it all out if its more than a year old. And change the fuel filter too. Ive dealt with starting up lots of old cars ( fuel injected and carburated ) and if it was running good when it was parked, Old / crappy gas is usually the main problem.
