At about 12:25 you were struggling with the clip on the back of the lights. I struggled with those for years too. Then I finally saw a video that showed the right way to pull them off. You pull back on the top of the clip (away from where the wire goes) and as it comes backwards it lifts the lock off and the cable comes free. It's super easy once I figured out the right way. Thanks for the video, super helpful!!

Or did you lube them with silicone grease? Also I was kinda confused with the angle of the expansion valve that you were underneath the car.. how could you possibly get to that evaporator from the top of the engine bay? I know non condensable gases are problematic for A/C, thus why you pull vacuum for 30min prior to recharging, can you purge nitrogen through the system while pulling vacuum to aid in moisture and CO2 removal? Really good video 👍🏻👍🏻

@APDTY6 жыл бұрын
so verifying for sure the problem is the first step, ac compressor diagnosis is pretty easy but requires gauges so you can see how it is handling the refrigerant and heat exchange, getting warm at night? does that mean during the day it is nice and cold? A diagnosis should be performed to figure that out and prevent future problems. If the compressor is falling internally, you may want to also replace the condenser which is up by the radiator as it captures small pieces of the failing compressor and can destroy the brand new compressor when one of this small pieces cycles into the new compressor, if you need a compressor, then here is a link to a compressor kit for your specific model: amzn.to/2wTpDtD We will have the proper image for it in another day or 2 as we just put it up for sale.

AJ so first would be to see where the noise is coming from, loud noises most likely occur from a compressor starting to fail or it could be a bearing from one of the belt pulleys or the cooling fan, find the component making the sound and then plan out the replacement and it usually leads to a failure fairly soon.

@APDTY6 жыл бұрын
hard to say what happened exactly, making sure exactly where it leaked out is very important, knowing more about the system pressures before replacement may have given evidence of a restriction somewhere, also if your compressor failed internally, it can eventually cycle small particles into the condenser, so if it did leak out of the condenser, then that will need replacement and then a good system flush and inspection of what comes out during the flush, then another evacuation and recharge and verify all is working by monitoring the system pressures while running for 1 or 2 coolant cycles of the thermostat opening and closing, this verifies the hot engine coolant going into the radiator and the hot refrigerant going into the condenser are handled properly by there cooling systems.

why did the compressor the evaporator and the condenser needed to be changed
@APDTY6 жыл бұрын
Sure, we did not change the evaporator but we did change the compressor, condenser, the receiver dryer and the expansion valve, An AC system simply cycles refrigerant from inside the vehicle cabin to outside the vehicle cabin and while doing this it pulls the heat from inside the vehicle out to the outside of the vehicle, this will take a toll on the expansion valve and the receiver dryer, also anytime you open the system you have to consider that desiccant inside the dryer as it will absorb moisture from the atmosphere once the system is open, also consider how many times the cycling has occurred as the dryer and expansion will not last the lifetime of 2 compressors. So in this case we had a compressor failure, if a compressor fails, it usually has an internal mechanical failure. If an internal mechanical failure occurs, small pieces of the compressor are then cycled through the system, pieces get stuck in the condenser and receiver dryer and expansion valve. If you just installed a new compressor without flushing all the lines and replacing parts that can hold small pieces or particles, then it is very possible and likely that you have a piece of the old compressor eventually get loose and go into the new compressor and destroy it. So anytime you replace a compressor, it is required to replace the dryer and exp valve. Most all compressor manufacturers will not warranty a new compressor unless the other components are purchased and installed at the same time. Also VW and most all later model manufacturers use parallel flow ac condensers, parallel ac condensers cannot be flushed because the way they are made makes the system perform better but removes the ability to flush them, So any professional shop knows all this and has lived through many do-it-yourself jobs that end up badly from not replacing all the parts. You can do a perfect install of just a compressor and have it fail a week later because a small metal particle from the old compressor ends up in the new compressor. If you go through the experience once of destroying a compressor and then having to repurchase a compressor all over again is usually be enough to teach the lesson of never try and skimp on an ac repair, also this doesn't include evacuation and recharge costs, the tried and trued methods professional technicians use are not meant to sell you parts you don't need, they are really meant to have the job completed and working with 1 single repair job, also you usually end up spending way more in the long run as you have to do the whole job over again.

Thanks in advance for any info. By the sound of it I will be doing this exact ac job on my jetta.
@APDTY6 жыл бұрын
Make sure to check both cooling fans, when your ac is on, both fans should be running and after a few minutes go to full speed, it is very common for one fan motor to fail and then it cant keep up with the ac heat and engine heat, Also if the fan is extremely loud it may not be pulling enough cool air through or heat out. This can be one cause for the symptom you are having, especially if it gets warm when you stop as then even less air passes through the condenser. The AC compressor should be diagnosed before being replaced as it can easily be another problem and if the pressures were good, (assuming the pressures where checked with it running) then something else is the problem, using gauges to check system pressures while running and then watching under a load and as the fans come on would reveal much more info and define if the compressor is working or not.
