I understand overcharging the system is a bad thing as well. Get a refill with a pressure gauge on it so you know you are within the appropriate range...maybe you'll need 2 cans, maybe you have other issues.

quote: ORIGINAL: mattyblast Unbelievable. They checked everything, and the only possible explanation they could come up with was that a magnetic relay of some sort in the clutch had 7mm of a gap in it, when actually it's supposed to have only 4-5mm to be into specs. Something like that. So they're going to replace the A/C clutch next week (that's not a part they stock, and understandably so). actually, thats probably right. If the compressor clutch gap (magnetically powered) is too large, the compressor will slip, thus causing the issue your were talking about.

Get a refill with a pressure gauge on it so you know you are within the appropriate range...maybe you'll need 2 cans, maybe you have other issues. thats true, you dont need the pressure gauge tho, all you need is a thermometer, stick it in one of the vents and add the freon a little at a time, the temperature should drop about 20 degrees F from the room temp when fully charged

magnet -> RE: Air Conditiong blows hot & light flashes...PLEASE HELP!! (7/27/2006 11:31:36 PM)
so if its 100 F outside the vents should blow out 80 F air? I dont think so, and I WOULD use the gauge, they are cheap enough now. They even make one that is like a tire pressure gauge, they are not that good of quality, but they do get ya close. Cold air in both of my vehicles is around 40F on a hot day, actually my truck gets colder than that at times.

Terrific! I'm delighted to hear that their theory makes sense. I'll post the outcome of the clutch replacement here, and hopefully it will be good news.

Problem solved. They replaced the clutch, and now the car is freezing cold. I'm one happy dude. [;)]
