Ive run out of funds to buy a vacuum pump, but thankfully i stumbled upon this: https://www.instructables.com/id/Making-A-Fridge-Compressor-Into-A-Vacuum-Pump/ Autozone in warmer areas of USA has loaner vacuum pumps, I once borrowed one when 100 miles from my own. But I don't know your country or l...

Sorry for the late reply. after researching the past few days, ive come to the conclusion that there was air in the system causing the gauges to show a good reading but still actually be undercharged. So i thought about evacuating and recharging the system myself. Ive run out of funds to buy a vacuu...

I tried eliminating the heater, but the results are still the same. I took pressure readings again the other day: (2000rpm) Low side: 24 psi High side: 263 psi Ambient temp: 31 degrees celsius according to my cheap thermometer, 30 celsius according to phone app. I forgot to take vent temps, but i co...

Sorry for the late replies, its been raining here so it isnt as hot. Its a bit warmer now so i decided to take the readings at 1800 rpm: Ambient temp: 27 degrees celsius according to my cheap digital gauge, weather app on my phone says 28 degrees Low side: just below 20 psi High side: about 209 psi ...

Yes, this evaporator has insulation. Funny though that the original evaporator that came with the car didnt have any insulation wrapped around it.

The problem also progressively gets worse the longer you run the car. I got stuck in stand still traffic for nearly 30 mins and the cooling was basically non existent. Edit: And it got cold again when the traffic started moving. This seems to indicate a bad fan clutch to me. If your vehicle (you di...

I forgot to mention that the problem appeared a few days after i had my evaporator replaced with a "new used" one. I brought it back to the shop but the ac guy without a thermometer told me the pressures are fine its cold. The problem also progressively gets worse the longer you run the ca...

Hey guys, i have a new problem with my car ac that just showed up recently. The ac performance decreases as the car warms up. These are the readings with the gauges i bought: All of the readings at idle speed, max fan speed and in my garage. I'd like to see both low and high pressures at about 1800...

I'd like to but then i wouldnt have a way to control the temp when its cold outside. Its very humid here so it isnt comfortable using the car with ac off, specially when its raining.

Hey guys, i have a new problem with my car ac that just showed up recently. The ac performance decreases as the car warms up. These are the readings with the gauges i bought: Car in the garage, cold start: Vent temp 12.5 degrees celsius (at least according to my cheap digital thermometer) Low side p...
