i got one of those refridgrent recharge kits, with a gauge on the back of the bottle it says not a refridgrent problem, do not refill,

any ideas on the culpriate?

a/c does not blow cold still

 

could be a few things. what year?

first check that your AC compressor is working. I know that the AC on EK's usually have problems with the EVAP.

not with that info.

what else have you checked?

 

blower motor is good, ac condensor is good,


the a/c compressor swuaeks when activated, yes the belt is good

 

TRY SEARCHING NEXT TIME, your not even new...kind of sad.

NOW read the WHOLE thread before you ask another question.

 

^thats how to do a refill/recharge, your not very smart/helpful, im not asking how to do it, im asking opinions on what else might be bad


any one else with idea's? im thinking compressor, the damn thing hisses loud as expletive too

 

i used to do the recharge at shops its really easy so its not helpful what that guy posted is common knowledge


what he is doing is recharging an a/c system illegally, what he did was vent the freon into the atmosphere, he's not even supposed to have the r12, also he is doing it the ghetto/cheap way, we had a machine which recycles it

 

Read the thread he explains how the a/c system works and common problems. So you use to work recharging a/c systems? Who cares apparently you didn't learn anything except how to press buttons.

EDIT: Replace your drier/thermal expansion valve

why change the filter-drier or txv?

the only info given was "everything seems ok but its not cooling"

you need more technical info to say whats really going on.

actual head and suction pressures, superheat and subcooling, t.d across the dryer, condenser t.d, stuff like that.

take it to a pro.

**** it could be as easy as the coolant valve is stuck open letting hot engine coolant through the heater core. if that happens its way to much of a heat load for the a/c to blow cold.
