Hi, very informative video, where exactly is this ac compressor control valve located? On the ac compressor it self? I have a 2001 mercedes W210 eclass that was leaking freon on one of the suction hose but was still blowing ice cold but I have to top the freon every 3 to 4 months to maintain the cold, the crimp section was leaking after a leak test, I took it to the shop they replaced the hose with a new one and no more leaks but it now blows hot and cold intermittently that it was not doing before replacing the hose. They are telling me the ac compressor is weak but I do not believe them. Any suggestions?
Great information. I was looking for information about my window ac that is doing the cold then hot air. I wonder if there is an expansion valve or control valve in my window unit.
I took my vehicle to a mechanic shop because the AC unit was blowing hot...then cold air. They did a diagnostic [the said] and found that the Schrader valve was bad. They replaced the valve. But I continued to have the same problem. After the third time I returned to the shop, they told me that they found metal in my AC compressor. It would cost me an additional $2000 to replace the compressor. I already paid 900 bucks to have the Schrader valve replaced. Something smells fishy ya think?
I took my 89 honda to the shop today because it would start cold , last about 8 minutes and then just blow just luke warm air . While at the shop than thing work just fine . I brought it home & the red blight on the A/C button came on , and it's just blowing lukewarm air .
