Hey folks! While spring still hasn't arrived yet, it'll soon be hotter'n uknowwhat here.
I need to do some A/C work and can't find much in the manuals to describe what I need. Could use some recommendations / tips.
When I bought the car, the seller said the A/C compressor needed a new clutch, which he provided.
Nice guy. I need to install the A/C clutch and always try to do the work myself first, although I'm not adverse to a professional looking at it or even doing the work. (Remember, I'm fresh off the "ventilated" radiator debauchle, so I'm a bit gunshy!!)
Not much help in the books and I can't even find a clutch listed in the catalogs -- just reconditioned compressors. That leads me to believe that most folks don't often replace the clutch.
While I am replacing the clutch, what else should I do or look for? Recharge the system? Replace with the "new" refrigerant? I have no idea what it has in it, although I assume it is the original stuff (maybe not a good assumption). The parts I can see all LOOK serviceable.
Let the advice begin . . .
