a/c system
 

well my a/c system has been out for quite some time now and here are some things that i have noticed i hear rattling and hissing under the hood with it on and off, it blows hot air, and what seems to be rust<or similar to it> coming from the a/c compressor.

what should i do? right now i blame it on the previous owner who maybe retrofitted it improperly from R12 to R134A

thanks

get it checked for leaks...

is there a chance that something would need to be replaced

I'll ask the guys at work tomorrow ;)

cool thanks!

maybe your AC compressor is blocked up?

ok, one of the techs said that you should check it for leaks and if you don't see any sicne you said you hear a hissing//ratteling noise, it's probably your compressor that's bad...

if you could, please ask him what he recommends i change the compressor or what?

yeah I just got my ac recharged, stayed cool for about 3 days and went back to hot air, wasted my money. So I probably need a new compressor or condensor whatever it is lol.

Could try recharging it with one of those kits that cost around $30 I think.

i think i'd rather get it done by a pro

He said get it checked for leaks, but yeah, take it to the pros bcs frion (spelling) is pretty expensive...

I think to get it recharged your looking at around $100 just to let you know, thats about how much I paid then it leaked and the place has been trying to fix it recently, need to take it back again.

my ac rattles and makes noises too. the air it puts out is kinda almost colder than room temp...i just drive with the windows down. I LOVE not having money to fix my car!lol
