How much oil did you put in the compressor ??
@corey639326 күн бұрын
This is really weird. It's like watching myself of video. We are built the same, look the same, and have the same silver Toyota. I have more grey in my red beard and probably 20 more pounds of blubber, but other than that... Thanks for the clear, concise video on this process. I just had a local place evac my system, since my compressor has failed. I plan to flush the hoses and replace the condenser due to that failure. I'm not too intimidated by the job, but doing some research makes things a little more simple to grasp. I had planned to R&R the compressor from underneath, but didn't realize how easy it is to remove the alternator. That is the kind of thing that makes you tube worthwhile. Also, when a compressor comes pre-filled, is there any need to measure it to be sure, or to add any other oil to the system? Or just install, charge it up, and go?

@theaffordablemechanic Close but not close enough I'm in San Antonio. Do you happen to have any recommendations for shops in my area? Would you recommend replacing any additional ac components at the same time as the compressor such as the condenser as I've heard that when certain components fail they can contaminate other things with metal shavings causes replacements to fail.

Doesnt the positive battery cable need removed, too?? My family members who are mechanics always remove the positive cable.
@theaffordablemechanic3 ай бұрын
It's not necessary for working under the hood. Removing the ground opens the circuit, and there is no longer any power being supplied to the electrical systems. Though, some interior systems have capacitors that can store power for up to 15 minutes after the battery is disconnected. So it's always best to wait after diaconnecting the battery when working around the dash. However, if I'm removing an airbag, to replace a clockspring or remove the dash, I'll remove just remove the battery just for extra caution. I hope that answers your question. Thanks for watching!

This video is awesome! I wish I know exactly how to do everything you’re doing. I have a 03 Corolla that I’m going to be changing the compressor. Probably going to get the ac evacuated by a shop and then change it out. Then going to vacuum the system myself but idk if understand the vacuum fully and also idk how much Freon to put and don’t understand the vacuum the bottom line longer before adding?? Thanks for the video!

This is a long shot but when putting those rockers and push rods back in is there anything specific I need to do to put them back in? My dad tried to fix my jeep and got the heads off and then just stopped working on it. That was 2 years ago and I dont have the money to pay someone to fix it so im going to try to do it myself but I'm stuck on that part and don't want to mess it up
@theaffordablemechanic Жыл бұрын
The rockers and push rods are all the same and can be put in any position. The push rods have no top or bottom either. Though, if you're reusing them, it's best to put them back on the same cylinder from where they were removed. If you're unsure from which cylinder they were removed, then inspect the condition of all of the push rod ends. They should have a mirrored finish. If they look machined, then they're worn and should be replaced along with the corresponding lifter or rocker arm. If there is no wear on any push rod ends, then you'll likely be fine to install them in any position. Replacement is always best, if possible, to avoid any top end knocking. I hope this helps, and thanks for watching!

Is this same engine as 2016 2.0L ? I've somewhat similar problem except no oil in plugs or coils . A few oil leaks including what looks at valve cover . Mechanic and I looked at a few ones like main rear seal / gasket where it meets transmission and oil pan where AC compressor mounting bolts it's cracked . Says I need to replace PCV valve , it's causing oil to leak ?? i just cleaned it as best I could with engine degreaser at car wash and used a can from Auto Zone hosed it off afterwards to spot anything else in order to get a verry good view ..Mechanic said I could save a lil money if I did the valve cover gasket myself . He quoted me a price on the other work and looks he's trying to get that money not mess with this ..
