Re: Air conditioner stops working

OK - So I burned through a 22oz can of refrigerant and the PSI is still about 30 - so thinking I need another can. On the plus side - the clutch is staying engaged and the car is blowing cold - WoooHooo since I live in the high desert it has been 100 degrees plus lately.

Thanks for the help ya'll

Re: Air conditioner stops working

I have a can of fluid, and the clutch wasn't coming on at all. Then I added some of the can, and the clutch began to engage.

How did you know your compressor stopped working? My clutch will engage for 3 seconds, then stop for 5 seconds, then engage again.
Does this mean my compressor is out??

Re: Air conditioner stops working

How can you tell if the compressor is working?? My clutch will engage for 3seconds and stop for 5 seconds and re-engage again? Does this mean my compressor is out?

Re: 2000 S70 - Question about A/C compressor shim fix

Hey Guys, These fixes sound great - got a question though. I tried pushing my clutch in with a broom handle while the car was running and the A/C on and coudn't get the clutch to engage. Had the Freon filled last year and the mechanics did the die/black light test and said there were no leaks. Any s...
