Thanks, I ordered a new condenser, drier, .062 OT, pag 46, no rinse evap cleaner, new Schrader valves, and 600g refrigerant. I still have flush left over from the first go round and will clean everything and try again. I’m not going to go as far as pulling the dash apart. If I saw this as being my c...

Thank you, the pressures were taken at 65*F, 1500rpm, windows down, max fan, and max cool. I will try again tomorrow, it’s supposed to 87*.

I’m assuming I’ll have to redo the drier and OT because now they are contaminated from not replacing the condenser to begin with?

Hey thanks for following up on all this. Ill try and address to the inquiries in the order that they were presented. This compressor is a clutch type and when I turn it on and off from the dash controls, it responds appropriately. I know that it is functioning cause the gauge readings go from balanc...

So I just tested the ac line temp at idle to see if there where any glaring abnormalities. The low side and the high side pre OT where around the same temperature. The line at and after the OT were cold with condensation building up(line going to the evaporator). Not freezing cold but cold. It would...

Thank you JohnHere, I really appreciate it. So I replaced the dryer but not the condenser. I realize it was a gamble, as well as with the junkyard compressor. I selected a car that has its original ac system intact with no signs of dies or stop leaks. I pulled it and drained it to see if any crap ca...

So I'm working on a 2004 VW passat. I installed a pick-n-pull compressor, flushed system, new orifice tube, new orings, pulled a vac for 30 mins, held it for a hour, and put in the correct amount of 132a and pag. The gauges read 30psi and 150psi @ 65 degrees. Seemed OK. The ac blew cold but not near...

Thank you, I'll pick up a pair of those. I have a compulsion to tinker and take things apart. Last week I pulled the transmission valve body out and refurbished it. At this point it is not about having a functioning AC system, it's about having a project, learning something new, and add a tool to my...

This is my first post, and I'm hoping an experienced person(s) can point me in the right direction. I'm currently refurbishing a AC compressor. Mine was not working.. opened it up and it was in ok shape. No metal, but way too much oil. This was a 20 year old used car, and since I bought it it hasn't...
