I always change the expansion valve when I do the compressor because if there's any debris in the system, it's most likely caught in the expansion valve (or orifice tube). @30:00... Since you already have the refrigerant drained, the coolant drained, the core support unbolted, and the upper hose off, I'd think it would be easier and give you more room if you removed the lower hose and pulled out the entire cooling package as a unit.

His go to about troubleshooting was there are three rules to A/C airflow, airflow, airflow. I had to replace the compressor on my 2GRFE a few months ago and that Denzo compressor was 700 bucks.

I didn't have AC until I was 22. It was the first year of 134a, which leaked past the old R12 seals. I never got it fixed, and didn't get AC again until 2002. At home, I didn't have AC until I was 26. We dealt with it, then. Now, I'm 51 and don't have to deal with anymore. I have AC and keep it working. We're not much different from the southeast in the summer. We often see 90+ temps and 90% humidity. In fact, my son was at Ft Benning in 2012 and it was hotter and the same humidity in Wisconsin while he was there. I was working in factory in the 90's, welding steel frames for intermodal trailers in 113°F. I would work 5 minutes and be drenched from head to toe. We would stand in front of a fan for 15 minutes to dry off, then back to work for another 5 minutes. We finally decided that it was just too damn hot to work and went home. Our supervisor told us that they couldn't send us home, but couldn't make us stay either. That was our cue to leave.

Ray... I've been watching your channel for 2 years or more and you are very good at explaining the tools you use including the size of the socket, and your comedy is off the chart! AC question.. why is it that I never see you recommend to change out the dryer/accumulator when you change out the compressor? Even on your A/C repair of your Duramax it took a while before you finally changed that dryer / accumulator. Plus that 2007 Camry has lots of time and miles behind it. My basic apprenticeship training decades ago I was told always change out the dryer / accumulator when doing a compressor rebuild or replacement. Yes believe it or not rebuilds of compressors by mechanics were performed in the '70s. Different world now.

I look at your views and my girlfriends channel which she has a 550000 less subscriber's than you have. Her analytics have her about $2000 a month. I know you would never be open to showing just how much you make, but I'm guessing about $23000 a month. From all the revenue, including ads. Jesus, ray.

I completely feel you on the parts debacle. I used to work in parts and saw it all the time, someone would bring back a part for some reason or another (usually a lie) and it would be used. Or the warehouse would box stuff at 4:59 on a Friday with 50% off at the bar and would have a COMPLETELY different part in the box than what it’s supposed to be. On another note, I would have changed the condenser or at least desiccant or dryer (depending on how that one is set up) and the expansion valve to make sure there was no contamination in the system.

I had the compressor fail in my 95 GTI last summer. At that point, VW had switched to a variable displacement compressor which adjusted itself mechanically depending on head pressures and cooling load. It runs full time, so if the evap gets too cold and starts to freeze up, a pressure activated arm changes the position of the swashplate that the pistons ride on. Long story short, the pressure arm failed and the compressor was frozen (😁) at its smallest displacement position. I went ahead and installed a new expansion valve and receiver/dryer while I had the lines open. New compressor came pre-charged with oil, so I had to drain it and add back the same level that I drained out of the old one. The past few weeks in Concord, we've been averaging 110 degrees on the ground. I'm getting 43 degrees at the vents, even with VW's infamous foam-on-the-blend-door's having long since deteriorated. 🤤

For the nerds out there, R134a which is the most common Freon type in today’s cars has a boiling point of -15°F… so that explains why and how it changes from liquid to gas when the air from the cabin passes over it in the evaporator.

Its really bad about the missing new parts in a box. Seen your vid and had to put a water pump on my 4.3 s10. Checked the box and gaskets were missing. Wanted me to drive 30 minutes to another one of their stores. Went across the street to a different parts house and bought one. The og store didn't check the box, i did because of your vid. So i went elsewhere. Thanks Ray! P.s. missing parts were at an oreillys

I noticed the upper hose because I had a new condenser and rad installed in one of my beloved 1990 Rangers and while the a/c was back, the hose sprang a leak a week later. Since a boatload of money had been spent, I would have happily paid a wee bit more for a new rad hose! (not to mention the inconvenience of having to return)

The only bad part about Florida, is even the breeze is hot and humid. It doesn't even feel cool on the skin, it just zaps more energy from you. Luckily our humidity up here in northwest Florida, has really only gotten into the upper 60% during the day, leaving the nights so humid, that's it hard to breathe when you walk out the house.
