Спасибо за видео, я думал что замена будет похожа на замену платформы Ford Focus 2/3, та радиатор меняется через снятие бампера и переднего усилителя что удобнее и быстрее, но Mazda так не думает)))

since you had to replace the compressor, expansion valve, and condenser due to a seized compressor, how much pag46 oil did you have to add to the system since everything was replaced? I'm working on my mazda 3 as well, but my compressor came out bone dry without any pag46 oil so I'm not sure exactly how much I should add for the whole system since I'm also replacing the 3 main parts. Looking at the service manual, it mentions "A/C compressor oil sealed volume approx. 120ml" and "Condenser Supplemental oil amount approx. 35ml", so I'm assuming I'll need to add about 155ml of oil into my A/C compressor before installing, and is it okay to add all of the oil into the compressor only (since it'll move it throughout the system)? Additionally, since you flushed the HI pressure a/c line that goes from the compressor into the condenser, I assume there needs to be a few extra ml of oil added into the system (maybe 2-5ml)? Let me know if I'm on the right track!

Did you figure it out? How's your ac at idle or stop and go traffic ? How cold are you getting out the vent ?

@@Devo1987 hey! i was actually able to finish the job and it works great now, been a few months so far with ice cold working a/c. I can't remember the exact amount of pag46 oil I added, but I believe it was 145ml after adding up all the necessary amount for each part in the service manual (not the owners manual), I'd recommend that you double check that by looking into the service manual yourself too. I replaced the expansion valve, condenser, compressor, and cleaned out the line that moves from the compressor into the condenser.

im glad this video exists, theres basically no older mazda 3 videos to reference off of, especially when it comes to the AC system (my AC compressor was also seized up so it was contaminated). This is extremely thorough and well explained and even has an entire series covering everything!

I was expecting to see you clean the tube between the condenser and the expansion valve....didn't you flush that? Admittedly that would be a challenge, but I thought you mentioned at the end of part 2 that you were planning to flush that tube also.
@MahmoudAbido10 ай бұрын
Thanks for your comment, You are right, I was planning to clean the pipe coming from the condenser going to the expansion valve. As you mentioned, it will be very challenging, especially you have to clean it in the opposite direction of the refregirant flow (from the expansion valve to the condenser). We don't have enough space to do this. If we think about it, we will find that we don't need to clean this pipe. Why? Because we are cleaning the pipes to remove any contamination. The refrigerant flow goes through the condenser before reaching to this pipe. The condenser has very, very small channels, so most probably, any contamination will stuck in the condenser. Thus, this pipe should be nice and clean. Do you agree with me?

Do you mean coolant or refregirant? They are different. The coolent is the colored water (green in this car) however the refregirant is the R134a that is used in the AC system. If you don't have enough coolant, you can easily add some in the coolant reservoir (usually it is in the passenger side). If you don't have enough refregirant in the AC system, then most probably you have a leakage somewhere. The AC system is a sealed system, so it should hold the amount of refregirant that the manufacturer added at the beginning. To check for leakage you can add UV dye to the system and rent the leakage inspection tool from AutoZone. Thus will help you to know where is the leakage. Then you can see what should you do to fix it. Thank you for asking. Let me know if you need any help
