Any tips to replace AC compressor clutch coil on 2.8t engine?
@SolvingSaab Ай бұрын
Unfortunately no, I completely deleted my AC following a car accident that severed my lines. Because I am AC certified I am required to recommend that AC systems are always worked on by a professional shop.
@sanye7836 Ай бұрын
@@SolvingSaab I supplied 12v directly to the AC compressor clutch coil connector and the clutch is not engaging, measured the resistance at the connector, it is open circuit so the coil is burned, I got a new coil in hand but by looking down there, there is no room the disassemble the AC clutch, nit sure removing the compressor mounting bolts and let it hanging would give enough space to remove the AC clutch, looks a really pain to do that, might just bring the car to a shop and let them do it, thanks, love youR contents👍

@@yt-is-mal If you could stop treating me like a dumbass in my own comments section that would be fantastic. For starters, I have my degree in automotive technology. I am also an ex auto body/ collision technician, so I know a thing or two about crashes. Next I should state, duh not everyone has this done to their car. I am talking about reputable tuners for these cars, and specifically people who race them. This hole is made for quick pump access for racing purposes. This is for people who race their cars and don’t care as much about chassis rigidity. I should have started off my reply by telling you, yes you are correct. The chassis will never be the same, congrats. But whether or not it actually matter due to all the other body reinforcements in the area (frames, arms, etc.) is up for debate. Thanks for watching my video. Have a good day.

@SolvingSaab 4 ай бұрын
From my understanding If you try to install LEDs on a non xenon or pre 2008 car they will flicker. These specific bulbs I have picked out for the 2008-12 have a resistor/chip that makes them not flicker for these specific years as long as they are replacing a xenon bulb.

Owned several 9-3s with the B284R and enjoyed them but unfortunately the engine bay is just too small for a turbocharged V6 in my opinion, resulting in excessive heat throughout the engine bay due to the limited mounting options for the turbo. Ultimately, I went back to the Ecotec 2.0L because it's lighter, gets better gas mileage and generally easier to work on. Of course, the downside is that the 2.0L doesn't have the same potential for HP, at least without spending more money.

Thanks for all your vids. I was watching your radiator removal video hoping to see you remove the electrical connector to the cooling fans. I was attempting to remove by sliding out the tabs but it broke. Has this ever happened to you? If so, how did you first remove and then repair? Thank you!
@SolvingSaab 5 ай бұрын
Hey there, definitely has happened! tap out the old slider from each part of the connector (im assuming the top that you pull on broke off) A pick or flathead should fit through each section of the electrical connection. This will allow you to unplug it. Then what I have done to secure it is take a long zip tie and loop it through the connection to finish it off. If this is confusing message me on Instagram and I can give you a video tutorial.
