[@youngrevival9715]

Y’all do a great job at taking time to show the details thanks.

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

Thanks man really means a lot to me.

On the power steering hoses I use a 90 degree hook pick to remove them I put it under the hose and go around the spout to free it and they usually come right off and on the hose clamps I use end snips they grab better and the clamp won't jump out on you and I blow the radiator off before going back on with it to make sure it can get air flow other than not blowing the radiator out you did good and I appreciate you detailing where all tge bolts was and the way you pulled it was tge same way I was going to do it I just like watching someone else because you might learn a trick or two thanks man maybe I shared a trick or two keep them coming for you enjoyed watching your video

[@josechacon6489]

Like watching your videos as you show every detail keep up the good work

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

Thanks buddy

[@clarkharvell5242]

Thank you for this video. I was wondering if I had to remove the front fascia like my Mini.

[@chrisbrzon3917]

I am going to try the same procedure on an SS (V8). Someone said I may need to remove the fans to get the added clearance to lean the radiator back due to the V8 pulleys, etc. setting further forward.

[@WinstonWolf-oh8le]

Awesome video. Need to change out my condenser and compressor.

[@FatBoyVids2012]

Thanks for the video I use all data but that only gives so much and your job is the same exact job I'm doing right not so I wanna say thank you bro for your time doing the video and the editing cuz I know that takes time too

[@chrisbrzon3917]

Remember to top off the power steering fluid for the amount lost out of the cooler.

[@eddiequezada2601]

Great video btw but how much different would this process be on a 2010 camaro ?

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

Hey there buddy, thanks for watching. If it’s the 3.6 it should be the same

[@eddiequezada2601]

Took it to PepBoys and they want $1200 parts & labor. Said the bumper needs to be removed. Thanks to you I will do it my self !

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

@@eddiequezada2601 I go behind pep boys a lot. You are better off doing your self, take your time and if you any questions I’m here for you

[@fuego8890]

Was there any fluids or anything that’s you have to refill or top off ? I just had my Freon drained out before I swap out the compressor and the condenser that way I can just put it right back in after , but I just want to be prepared for after the job.. thanks CarDoc

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

Hey buddy thanks for watching. The only thing I had to top off on this job was the power steering, make sure you have the proper amount of AC compressor oil in the system as well

[@sumterlb]

How much fluid will leak once it is disconnected?

[@Sabs761010]

Hi Alex, I have a Chevrolet Sonic 2015 the the problem is that the high pressure pipe is cold and the low pressure pipe is warm and the A/C does not cool, what could be the problem? i have to recharge the system each month

[@bobbuilder-wo9tv]

Some people go crazy and remove the whole radiator. Crazy

[@johncullenjr8741]

Nice gonna try on 2016.

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck let me know how it turns out

[@tonyfat2458]

Would this video instruct me on how to replace the AC condenser on a 2014 LS Camaro

Great video.l would do the bottom part from the bottom of the car.l like to keep the skin on my arms.lf you have fat arms,working from the top is sometimes very hard on narrow openings.

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

Good information for people with fat arms I can’t relate no offense

[@JCMFix]

Great explanation.

[@guyfarrelly6929]

How would the removal change if it is a ss?

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

It should be about the same with slightly less room

[@anjilynsue7070]

will this work for a 2014 chevy sonic?

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

Unfortunately the process is a little bit different but this will give you a general idea how to do it on your vehicle

[@Ljskeetown]

I’m having problems getting cold air on my camaro it’s the same year my compressor engages and there’s plenty Freon any suggestions?

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

Hello, a quick test you can do, make sure the car is at operating temperature and turn the heat on, this will let you know if the blend door is working,if it doesn’t work you have to take the dashboard off hopefully that’s not the case because the front windshield has to be removed on the Camaro. Let me know

[@Ljskeetown]

The heat works fine i was thinkin the blend door but the heat blows great

[@Ljskeetown]

I see you’re in Georgia i live in Lithonia i could use a good mechanic

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

Come see me my shop # 4704350015 that’s a problem I need to see in person

[@teenice894]

Check the fuse and relay. Swap relay with identical one to see if it's just that. Hope this helps

[@ndk4]

Hello alex, my car brake and throttle pedal pressure seems to change when i adjust my ac temperature. For example when i set it to 18’ becomes harder, and at 20’ and up becomes softer. Are you familiar with this issue? Thank you

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

You may have a outer space car I have no solution for that problem

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

What type of car do you have.I have never seen or heard of this issue before

[@ndk4]

@@AlexTheCarDoctor 2020 subaru outback.

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

You should be under warranty check with your dealership if you haven’t already. That’s a strange problem because the A/C system and brake/throttle pedal are totally separated unless they have change something that I don’t know about. Sorry I can’t help with this one good luck buddy

[@ndk4]

@@AlexTheCarDoctor one dealership down, they said they found no issue or whatsoever. It’s hard because everyone’s different, i have no proof to say that they pedal is harder and softer as i change the temperature unless they feel it or have the courage to say so. One mechanic didn’t even want to have a look at my car, probably because he thought i was crazy. But no.. i do feel it. Is there anything available in the market to check pedal pressure/sensitivity and present them as numbers? It’s kinda hard sometimes to rely on human ‘feelings’

[@dankmemes6010]

What is the red looking oil that comes out of the lines from the bottom?

[@sashimicheetah]

Freon dye used to check for leaks

I have like a green liquid coming out of my top ac hose

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

That is the A/C systems oil You have a leak in that hose somewhere

I just meant when I took out the top line from the ac condensor it came out from where it was connected

Yea I figured so I just kept going with it, thanks for that quick response though

“ I recommend replace consider because the dehydrated is on it” people u don’t have to listen to that I’m sure he charger about 1k for this job when replacing only the 75$ dehydrater on my 2010 maro fixed the issue

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

Bro how long have you been a technician? You may get away with replacing just the A/C drier and it may work, but what you fail to realize is the condenser have small Passageways that trap A/C Compressor fragments from your bad compressor that will eventually destroy your new system. So why just do the job on a maybe just do it right the first time. If it was about the money, I would not be teaching people how to do it themselves. Thanks for watching have a good one buddy.
