Hey, my A/C was low on freon, went to put a can in, only took about half of the can and the a/c compressor whines only when you rev it(clutch engaging) sounds like a huge blower or something.

the a/c would always leak every year, and just refilled it, would usually last the summer.

now it will not get cold or anything, should i replace the compressor, or is it likely theres something else in the a/c system that could cause this.

the belts are fine, and if i do replace the compressor, should i have it proffesionally refilled, or can i use the cans from autozone.

 

Well if its been leaking and making noises then id replace it..

 

well it just started making those noises as i tried adding a little bit of 134a....didnt do it before. i was reading up and some people say if its low on freon or oil that can do it???

if i do replace the compressor, should i have it proffessionally refilled then? and not use the at home autozone cans?

 

maybe because u didn't add the 143a oil that what causes the a/c compressor to damage. maybe the cluch didn't kick in...well it's my opinions.

 

i used that 134a can w/ the oil and leak stuff all in one from autozone.....or less the can was whack????? dunno a buddy's got some proper gauges is going to look at it tomorrow and see if theres a clog or something. he said thats a possibility b4 i drop $$ on a compressor. ill post up w/ my findings.
