Last thing I bought was an 18lb weight for my slide hammer for those hard to remove bearings :woohoo:
Hello,
What it sounds like to me is there might be too much oil in the system.What I think I would do is take the compressor off,take it back to get another used one,most places offer atleast a 30 warranty on used parts.Next thing is I would flush the condensor,all you need is some “Non-Clorinated brake cleaner” and a air hose.Make sure to flush it in both directions,blow it out good.When you get the other used compressor drain all the oil out of it by spinning the clutch while dumping it upside down.Look up the spec for the compressor and and add 1 oz. lower then it calls for,that will compensate whats still in the evap and lines.I always put new o-rings on,which I am sure you did,I also agree with john on changing the receiver/dryer,as it gets pretty full of moister and oil,After you vaccum it down,i usually do it for around 45 minutes,do a slow charge on the system.What I mean by that is put a temp gauge in the vent and slowly add some freon,let the car run for around 5 minutes for the freon to get circulated through the system.Only add enough freon till its blowing at around 45-50 degrees.I think it should have a site glass,watch of low to no bubbles.I had a lexus come in the shop that had a slipping clutch issue as you described,slow charged it,took me about 25 to 30 minutes,and its been blowing cold ever since,2 years now.Hope some of this help ya.If you need the specs on the system,send me a message,I would be happy to help,,,odieHello to all the fellow techs here.My name is Steve,but you can call me odie.I started working in this fine field officially in 1983 at a shell gas station pumping gas and washing windows,checking oil.I eventually graduated into changing tires,and so on and so forth.Now I do everything (Except electrical repair) because I just cant figure out how to read the damn diagrams,but hopefully I can learn from you Eric.I am not certified in anything,and have never had a problem getting a job anywhere.I work at a locally owned and operated shop,which employs just 2 techs,and 1 secretary ( I am included as 1 of the techs).We have a 4 bay shop,2 of them are mine,plus plenty room outside to tear into anything.Were constantly busy,but we try not to schedule much on saturdays because were only there for 4 hours.I work on just about anything that comes in.Lately we have been working on alot of older muscle cars and such.Word gets out an they have all been coming out of the wood work.Looks like a great site,going to enjoy myself here.I am a joker sometimes,banana: and love having a great time.
