How to Fix Car Air Conditioning. Expert Advice

Hey Dave I always wondered is it better to start you car with the AC off. I always have started my car first, let her warm up and then engage the AC. I know alot of old people that always have theirs on and start it on full blast when they start the car. Do u think it puts strain on the compressor or have I just been paranoid.

he reminds me of juha kannkunen the rally driver! nice handy vid

dangerous dave.

lol nice but dave...

Who's backside is that at 3:24?
Nice video. Horrid butt.

Hey Dave, Could you use your redneck recovery machine to "vacuum" the system? Will it even pull a vacuum?

great information in your video. Thanks

Hey Dave, I have a 90 Marquis. Is there a way to un-stick Heat Valves. I guess since the AC went 2 or 3 summers without being used affected them.

Thanks for this, Dave. My '92 Accord's A/C (same as yours, except it's the 2 litre) has a leak somewhere and is also R12. Gas lasts for about two days if I'm lucky, then the compressor won't engage. Shame you're not in England, I'd happily pay you to fix it!

Cheer's Dave i'll just go out and fix my air con, oh wait i live in England we don't know why we have air con here. Cheer's anyway.

Don't use R134a in R12 systems. It will leak out in few months or even days. Use Isceon49 or something else, which is made for the old systems. And always add oil when you are charging empty systems, even if you don't see the leak!

ive given up driving my evo in winter time. just changed condenser. great instructional video!

you got it.

must use your hand.

How do you correctly charge the cars with the variable vein valve in it using the gauges, not your hand?
