I appreciate that you made a video for public consumption. The shaft seal install was helpful. But, you know. When you skip over both front and back valve suction, plates and discharge reeds and don't bother to show us the order and how they reassemble. Very upsetting. Plus. Why don't you friggin slow down and do a thorough examination of parts. LET DOWN! Would be great if you could do this again with little more care and concern to really demonstrate how the damn thing goes back together. Just feedback sir. Not trying to be insulting.

Hello Bob, I have just rebuilt my A6 compressor from my 65 Gto. Thank you. The video was great! All went together perfectly. Question: how much oil goes in the empty compressor? What hind of lio for R12 or R134? And how do you fill it?
@bobsteinmann5793Ай бұрын
Total system oil capacity is 10 oz. on a clean flushed system. If not its a educated guess as to how much to add. I would use PAG 150 for 134A or mineral for R-12. If the compressor is off the car, oil can be added via the drain plug on the side or suction inlet of the compressor. If its installed it can be injected before charging.

@leonardpearlman4017 Жыл бұрын
That's very nicely done! If anyone cares, I'm pretty sure this is BRAZING. I mention this b/c I teach basic welding in a small way, and one of the curses of my existence is that people (especially on eBay kind of situations) will call ANY DAMNED THING "welding" if there is any fire or sparks involved. This doesn't take anything away from the JOB, it just makes teaching and shopping difficult and confusing, and really screws up the beginner! This process might not have a good name! But it's a strong analogy to BRONZE WELDING that people do on steel. That is also a rich source of confusion! I think a problem everyone has is not realizing the whole temperature span of soldering/brazing/welding has moved WAY DOWN with aluminum! Beginners TRY to keep in mind: In WELDING the base metal melts, the original edges are lost. Anything else is not welding! Soldering, brazing, sealing wax, I don't know... so many options! As an analogy, you can WELD brass, and BRAZE brass, using the same rod and the same torch! You don't use it in quite the same way. I do this demo to clear up confusion among the students.

It all depends on whether "The "Aluminator" rod has been fused and has melted with the base metal. Is the filler rod the same alloy as the aluminium tube? It is advertised as an alloy, but we don't know if it is different from the aluminium tube Bob is working with. If they are the same composition (or have the same melting point) and they are FUSED together, this is WELDING, if the rod contains different amounts of the alloy element (magnesium, silicon manganese, copper etc) and the melting point is (normally) lower, then we are looking at BRAZING if the base metal DOES NOT melt and fuse with the base metal. Pure aluminium is very ductile and not commonly used in any castings where strength is required. Mainly used in power lines. So all the aluminium alloys we will be working with are an alloy of some sort. Silicon brings down the melting temperature of the aluminium which makes it an excellent alloy rod for brazing, but if the base metal is also silicon aluminium alloy or has a similar melting temperature, then this is welding. Bob has melted the rod onto the base piece, but it did not melt the base metal.. Brazing and welding are not exclusive but can overlap. Unlike steel, if you apply a little too much heat to aluminium alloy base metal, your weld will be on the floor. If Bob had left the flame sit too long in one spot, the brazing would have turned to welding and if the flame wasn't moved away, to a fused blob on the floor. Now think of soldering a solder made plate. This is technically welding. Yes you can weld solder but because it has such a low melting temperature, "they" call it soldering. When you solder copper, what is it? It is brazing. If you are good enough to melt the base metal as you are adding the filling rod, you are welding even if the two metals are slightly different. There are many GREY areas in welding brazing and soldering, which is why it's better not to overthink them.

He melted the base metals together. It is welding.
@redpost23806 ай бұрын
@@moto_rad Had another close look at the video. No he did not melt the base metal. He brought it up to the melting temperature of the filler rod. The rod packet clearly states flux coated aluminium JOINING alloy. These filler rod have silicon and a much lower melting temperature than aluminum. So this is commonly called brazing. Aluminum has to be well heated before brazing and welding. With the latter, a fine pointed flame is used and you focus the heat to one point where the puddle will appear and will be translucent. If you melt some alloy into rgis puddle, it is welding. It is tricky to use these rods for welding because the base metal has a higher melting point. More than the melting temperature of the rod. To weld you have to keep the filling rod more distant from the base metal and bring it in as the translucent puddle appears. Very easy to have the base metal collapse as you juggle flame and low melting point filler. Much easier to weld with a high melting temperature filler rod. In this video, the pipe is heated but not melted. With such a feathered broad flame, if the melting temperature of the base metal was reached, it would probably end up on the bench.

Just had a question , the original shaft seal used a two piece ceramic and carbon seal, the spring loaded carbon seal pushed up on the ceramic piece and pushed it into the C clip and the area of the O ring. My question is if you use the new double lip seal and there is no spring load from the carbon on the seal how is the new double lip seal held in place, with no spring pressure would the new seal not have pressure pushing on the C lip and the new seal would be loose in the bore. Oh and best video of the A6 ever, Thank.

The new seal fits in the same location that the ceramic seal would have seated. So it does bottom out and is retained by the clip just like the original.

WARNING: This video does not show the old type key shaft Sanden, you have to take the key of of the shaft but worse still the knocking out of the seal as shown in the video will break the spring loaded spacer that has a plastic part, i know of 3 people that have watched this video and broken that part, plus 2 of them have also damaged the roller bearing metal holder too. If you have a key shaft on your compressor be very very careful with the shaft seal, it will save you $$$$$$$$

Many Sanden compressors built before this unit may have a keyed clutch shaft. It is easily removed. Once it is out of the way, the procedure is the same and you will not damage anything as long as you use normal care. Yes you can do damage to the housing , and bearings if you are not careful where you place the tools before applying force. Thanks for bringing up the keyway issue.
