[@halfanhour2128]

Are we to assume that the pistons and the cylinders or the reed valves don't wear out and that compressors only need new seals and bearings?

[@DamaskeTeam]

Well in my opinion pistons and cylinders dont wear out that fast like valve plates, most of the time pistons and cylinders are left the same, but valve plates are changed. Not sure about this, but i think it is made like that, i mean the compressor is made that cylinders and pistons dont wear out that fast, before that you can change 2-3 times valve plates. I actually couldnt understand if the plates were checked from the video, but in every compressor the valve plates have some thickness and if the thickness is really small you need to change them for a better efficiency.

[@DamaskeTeam]

Most of the time if you inspect the compressor you can see with clear eye that there is some cracks on cylinders or pistons, in that scenario, something was triggered in that outcome so you need to find the clue why, for my daily basis, most of the time it is camshafts that failed in process they brake pistons too which can damage the cylinder also. But in all other cases you just inspect valve plates, and change them if you see that it is needed. Other than that you just change bearings and seals. I the end my compressors are a little different from this video, this one is more basic from the ones i am repairing and investigating.

How do you go about getting specific bearings when you're doing restorations on parts like this that are usually replaced as a whole unit?

[@Patrick94GSR]

Many times bearings have numbers on them which can be cross referenced on Google search to find the right ones.

[@richardkaz2336]

@@Patrick94GSR it's sourcing replacement seals and gaskets that is the real dificulty. As for the bearings they are mostly available unless you live in Australia where many specialty bearings are not stocked or listed at the bearing wholesale suppliers. The other thing to note bearings usually are only supplied with petroleum jelly/vaseline and not fully packed with the correct type and quanterty of grease.

[@camaroblackmatte]

awesome, thank you !

[@stco2426]

Really enjoyed that, I have to decide what to do with a DENSO A/C compressor and seeing your refresh made it much less daunting. I will have to see what parts kits are available. Three questions, please. 1, what was the cleaging solution you used? 2, my manual says to measure the volume of oil that drains out so you know how much to add. The video doesn't show adding any oil, but no dramas. Is this how you typically do it? 3, DENSO say to use ND-oil 8 or ND-oil 12 rather than PAG. They are the DENSO oils for DENSO compressors. Was the product you used the right oil? Many thanks!! Must go and look at your alternator vid, too.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! Compressor refilling is carried out using a special stand with an experienced technician - he will be able to accurately answer all questions specifically about your car.

[@POWERTOOLSLAB]

Is it work ??

Thank u Bro.

Hey! All materials used in the video are linked in the comments below the video.

[@shakhrukh_nazarov]

Fantastic!

[@nikolaivanov9517]

What restoragion if piston have scrach.Like the almost used compressors

[@ZoefontheMove]

Oddly satisfying

[@BetoTheOutsider]

Cost comparison?

[@jordanzurbruegg73]

You didn’t check piston and bore clearance. Was it just bearings that went bad?

[@autodocuk]

Our videos are advisory in nature. You can find all the scheduled replacements and values ​​for your car's design directly in the technical documentation for your car or use the help of a car maintenance service.

[@andresouza2314]

In other words, no, he didn't check the clearance and the sequence of pistons... Probably he will have a loss of compression

[@angelbatista2416]

it is not engine. It is only compressor. There is no metal piston ring. Piston seals only silicon o-ring.

[@autodocuk]

This is the air conditioning compressor motor or the air conditioning pump.

[@phulviocauci31]

excellent thank you

[@nickjanssens]

The total lack of dialog and music was a real bonus.

[@BeeBeefy]

Is it true that the oil inside it shouldn't need to be changed?

[@autodocuk]

It is recommended to use new oil each time the air conditioning system is refilled.

[@BeeBeefy]

@@autodocuk so its not exactly like an engine, u do an oil change on it? Because when u refill the system the oil goes with it correct? Sry im a newb

[@howtousemetallathemachines6478]

Nice work

[@Chet73]

Oooh a Denso. Worth a rebuild.

[@mohamedms2472]

With my Clio 4, I have replaced the ac compressor before cabin air filter

[@harmonk8012]

My favorite ASMR.

[@Discretesignals]

The displacement valve should have been replaced. The clutch is a wear item. The clutch gap is adjustable with a shim washer. Those are the things that usually fail on those densos. Looks like something on the engine was leaking oil all over it. Nice job making it look pretty.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback!

How about 2013 Acura ILX 1.5l hybrid AC Compressor

The replacement procedure may differ, you can read about all scheduled replacements directly in the technical documentation for your car or use the help of a car service.

[@alexey9900]

Good 👍 👍👍

[@autodocuk]

Thanks for watching!

[@turboslag]

Really interesting to see the internals of an a/c comp. Where can I buy parts for a/c compressors in the UK? I've diagnosed failure of the clutch coil on mine, which is quite easy to replace, but I need to obtain the part?

These ac repair guys in Jamaica always telling me the ac compressor can't be tested without being setup on the engine etc.... u just prove my point that they dont know how to really test ac compressors

Tive que trocar o compressor Denso da Sprinter porque ninguém queria consertar. Ele só tava preso por dentro, tudo em ordem, mas desmontei e agora não lembro a ordem daqueles discos laminados.

[@focus678]

what is the most reason of compressor noise when rev engine?.

[@autodocuk]

There may be many reasons and without proper diagnostics we cannot advise anything, please contact the car service.

[@razboinicudintitan]

in my case is always low A/C refrigerant, after topping it up, the noise disappears

[@JT-jg8le]

What lubricant do you put on the new o-rings?

[@autodocuk]

You can find this information in the technical documentation for the repair of your car.

[@multiomer1997]

its o ring lube.

[@heathmurphy3735]

PAG oil

[@autodocuk]

All lubricants are indicated via the links in the comments under the video.

[@439530]

Please ask your accountant first before submitting questions and thank you in advance lol

[@Yoohoo-z5q]

Is the Compressor working or not working in the first place? What's the problem with this compressor in the first place? Must tell people then we will know when to do what right? Please advise.

Thanks for the clarification and we'll think about what we can do with this in new videos.

[@Jack_The_Soul]

what model of compressor that is?

[@papimasfuerte4671]

Denso. Found in many Nissan and Honda. Some older Toyota

@papimasfuerte4671 i have very simmilar on my T5, they are my nightmares.

@@wills5482 verdade.

[@lorenbajeric7495]

soooooo much noise from the microphone, other than that great

[@Eduard2904]

It is better to leave it ON all the time, or turn it off let's say in the winter or sometimes?

[@GearheadGorilla]

Always keep it on. That way all lines are lubricated and orings are less likely to fail. As an additional bonus air conditioning dries the air, so your car is less likely to steam up inside

[@autodocuk]

It is advisable to use it periodically even in cold seasons so that the system works normally. In rainy or cold weather the air conditioner removes humidity well in the cabin and the windows fog up quickly.

The clutch is worn out. Paint doesn’t fix that.

[@saurabhsharma-ts6ky]

Video shoot, editing, sound effects are good 👍 But the point of video is totally disgusting. A/C comp. not serviceable in that way. Indel bearing no need to change intair life of comp. Only PAG or manufacturer recommended oil are use there wishes A/C system contaminated.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your comment!

[@hawaiiyamat]

Why is he rebuilding the pressure solenoid, that should be replaced!

[@multiomer1997]

cuz the a/c compressor is already scrap you can see the hoses are cutted at 2:19

[@Sonomaniaque]

Yes, this is just an ad for their site. It doesn't provide any useful information on why an AC compressor fails. Did you also notice that every answer they make is automatic? In France, we say : 'Ils ne veulent surtout pas se mouiller"

[@ITRR2306]

For my money, it's better off to buy a new one.

[@StockWasa]

What cleaner spray do you use for removing the black oil?

[@autodocuk]

We used an engine cleaner and you can read about it by following the link in the description below the video.
