A/C compressor problems
A/C compressor problems Ok, my old a/c compressor went out on my 98 Z, I am getting ready to install a new one. How much of the compressor oil does it take and is there a walkthrough or anything on tips i should know when installing it, that way I do not mess anything up????
the clutch locked up and I just went ahead and bought a new compressor cause I am getting ready to sell the car and I don't want someone to buy it then the A/C go out on them.
On a related note, I don't mean to hijack but this would def fit here.
I tracked a big leak down to my compressor.
I've searched and read that unuse can cause a leak, and admittedly I NEVER use my AC.
I've prob run it for about an hour since I've owned the car for 3 years.
Just wondering if its easy enough to add the oil since it's prob lost about an Oz. or more since the leak started.
I've read you CAN add it I just can't think of where I would.
My Haynes manual doesn't' say much.
I've read there's an in and an out but during my motor mount install and other escapades around it I don't remember any fill holes.
Can one fill it themselves or should I pull the belt and wait till I can get it to a HVAC service center?
thanks anyone,
