A/C Question

unless he got the gauges and know what pressures it needs to be at. it needs to be in a shop. someplace that will warranty there a/c work.

my gf's dad had the gauges and did the reading... that's when he decided it needed a recharge... then when we went to do check the readings again and put the freon in.. that's when it stopped working (he hadn't put the freon in yet)

did he vac it down to get the air out of the line also or did he just drop a can or 2 more into it.

overfill or underfill can cause the clutch to not engage, there is a pressure switch.

do you know where that is??? i can't find it anywhere on this car!!!

no he did not vac anything out... but again.. as the thread states HE WAS NOT ABLE TO PUT ANY FREON IN!!!

he hooked up the gauges when the clutch was engaging the first time.... took the readings.. said the low side was a lil low.. it could use some freon.... (he knows quite a bit about cars so i trusted him with it) we drove the car 2 minutes down the road... turned it off... went in the store.. bought the freon.. turned everything back on... .and when we went to hook the gauges back up and put the freon in there was no reading on the gauges and the clutch would not engage... no freon was added...


and no lines were vacuumed out...
