2010 jeep patriot ac compressor replacement. How to.

[@davidcontreras4363]

I didn’t understand why you took off the bumper but after doing it myself I understand. The bracket that’s holds the compressor is pain to take out. Ac is working fine. Had to remove compressor to change out alternator due to bad bearings. Thanks for the video. Helped big time!

I would add that if a compressor is making a knocking noise from internally (not the clutch), it's almost certainly due to loose tolerances. How do you get loose tolerances? From wear. If you have wear, you could have metal flakes or particles traveling through the system. You should take care to carefully inspect for metal in the compressor or from the old oil when removing the old compressor. DO NOT REUSE THE OLD OIL. Even if you can't see metal in it, it almost certainly contains very tiny metal particles. You only want to measure it for a reference as to how much needs to be added, then discard it. If metal is visibly present, the entire system needs to be flushed to ensure longevity of the new compressor. This may require replacing the expansion valve (or orifice tube), since it's a tiny passage critical to system operation that can become clogged easily. I need to replace one on my wife's Patriot soon, but my guess is that I can get the line off without removing the bumper cover. When I saw the bumper cover being removed, I assumed that was to access lines to flush out the system. The listed flat rate time for this is 1.0 hours, minus evacuating and recharging the system, so my guess is that it isn't necessary to remove the bumper cover, at least according to that labor time. I'm a master mechanic with 25 years of experience, and advanced level certifications. I changed careers about 5 years ago to software engineering, but I will never cease to be a mechanic, in addition to anything else I do. There are things I probably would have done differently, but thanks for posting the video. It still provides context for me to estimate how long it will take for me to complete the repair.

What kind of oil did u use?

[@taylorpelletier6765]

When putting the new compressor on, you used the bolts that came with the new one, Allen wrench top?

[@espanglishGarage]

yes sir.

[@mickjagger850]

Did you change your desiccant ?? Did you measure oil volume in old compressor to know how much to add back ??

[@espanglishGarage]

the only thing I changed was the compressor. I bought it used therefore I was not worry about voiding a warranty. If you are getting a new one I will recommend you stick to what they require so you keep that warranty in case something happens with the AC compressor. About the oil level, I did not reuse the old one to about possible contaminants. I asked a friend who works for jeep and he told me how many ounces to put in, I will recommend you ask to whomever you are buying the compressor from because different manufactures could required different amount, again its all about maintaining that warranty, or you can simply ask to any auto part store on your local zone, they will let you know for sure.

What oil did you use, and how much of it do I pour in?

[@espanglishGarage]

The amount of oil required for a new AC compressor installation in a 2010 Jeep Patriot typically ranges from 2 to 4 ounces. However, the exact amount can vary depending on the type of compressor and the system's specifications. To determine the precise amount of oil to add to your AC system, it's best to refer to the manufacturer's specifications or consult with a certified mechanic or Jeep dealership. They can provide you with the specific amount of oil recommended for your vehicle's AC system based on its make, model, and year. Oil I used from Advance Auto Parts you can talk to them and they will tell you. Hope this helps.

@@espanglishGarage you are a life saver. Thanks!! 😁

[@beeboreo]

Could you send a link or what part you ordered and what it included? I need to fix mine and they estimate 2k$ for it

[@espanglishGarage]

I did this years ago, I don't remember where I got parts from for this job 😞 but you can get them on any auto parts strore or ebay for a better price

[@beeboreo]

@@espanglishGarage ah thank you anyways.

[@sergiosalazar7401]

What kind of oil should I get for the ac compressor before I install it

[@espanglishGarage]

PAG46 is the manufacturer recommend, when buying the oil from your local auto parts store u can ask to make sure about best recommendations.

@@espanglishGarage ok thanks

[@bmanmitch2005]

You skipped the entire process of removing the compressor

[@BananaNutHead420]

Why the FK did you remove the bumper

Did you even pay attention to the video? Watch it again!
