Jetta AC problem RCV

Follow along as I diagnose and repair AC on 2000 Vw jetta 2.0L without replacing compressor.
If you need these parts you can buy them from my website at:
kansascitytdi.c...
The dealer and some shops would recommend replacing the compressor for this problem.

Nice tip about the control valve! We don't do a lot of AC, but I'll be sure to keep this in mind!

[@CoolAirVw]

No ac work in Canada? Why not?

Richard - outstanding video. Thanks again for your contributions here and at TDIClub. - scurvy

[@CoolAirVw]

Thanks.

I will feel guilty if I don't comment. Absolutely informative. With additional tip about condenser fan which I didn't noticed since 18 months of my service. Thank you sir

[@CoolAirVw]

Your welcome Thanks for watching.

[@jimkillen1065]

I appreciate the video. I seen the high side pressure really high on a Miata before and the car was not cooling properly. After i washed out a lot of trash included dead bugs ect from the condenser the pressure dropped like a stone and the car cooled off. My TDI Jetta has always cooled properly unless the system was not getting power at the battery fuse panel until today . The car stopped cooling like it normally does. I keep a gauge in the duct just to be sure . After checking the pressure i assume the valve in the compressor is bad . I only seen this one other time . That time no pressure , this time its seems the compressor is doing just enough to cool a bit . Going to swap out the compressor with another one i have to see if this fixes the problem. . Thanks for the video

[@CoolAirVw]

thanks for sharing your experience.

[@pyronitro]

its not just in AC that suck and blow works. but yes as a learning tool, it works really well!😁

[@CoolAirVw]

memory technique.

[@arlberg2006]

Super vid! When you chiselled those two alternator bolts, where exactly did you strike? I'm curious, as you've clearly mastered this workflow :) I once changed out a compressor on a Mk4, but moved the front end out instead.

[@CoolAirVw]

drive it in. (in being the same direction the bolt would go if you tightened it.)

[@hevicex]

Good vídeo. Could you say me the part number of the oring seals for the ac compressor conectores for car ac circuit?

[@CoolAirVw]

dont have those sorry. they are pretty common sizes and I believe most local auto parts stores will have new o-rings. just take your old ones up and match them.

[@Crystal-lu7if]

Very well done and informative. Thank you

[@CoolAirVw]

thanks for watching.

[@KenPaisley]

Whats a good source for these valves? I have noticed two different styles for these compressors.

[@WCxColosus]

I've seen alot of videos about a different control valve. Some of the compressors have it on the outside with a plug does this have the same thing or does it only have the one inside the compressor

[@CoolAirVw]

This is a mechanical valve inside the compressor. The other ones with electrical plug in (solenoid) come on clutchless compressors such as mk5 (2005.5 and up) jettas ect. We just put a RCV on a clutchless compressor on a Toyota Camry, and fixed the issue.

[@WCxColosus]

@@CoolAirVw ah ok i have a mkv so the compressor is similar to this one. Already ordered the part gonna work on it the Saturday hopefully everything turns out OK lol

[@WCxColosus]

@@CoolAirVw I changed the valve while I had it opened i noticed there was a good amount of rust. I put it back together and filled it but the clutch did not engage. I'm assuming the compressor is probably bad since it had rust inside?

[@CoolAirVw]

@@WCxColosus Rust inside is not a good sign.

[@hhn2002]

Great job 👍

[@CoolAirVw]

thanks for watching.

[@martinlavoie4002]

Would my 1998 ALH beetle have that valve in my compressor cause I have a Freon leak at the seem where you replaced the Gaskets and I would love to save having to spend 300 to 400$ for new compressor. Then my other question is do you get that valve at a jobber? I have a company called Auto Camping up here in Ottawa Canada but I never asked if they have parts for compressors

[@CoolAirVw]

Most likely that is the same as your compressor unless your compressor was replaced with an aftermarket one. Take a look at yours and see if it says "sanden" on the green sticker partially viewable at 5:42. If so its probably the same.

[@martinlavoie4002]

CoolAirVw Rm thanks again I will check it out

[@L4LR]

Excuse me sir where could I order this freeon control valve and gasket that you replaced?? I think i have this same exact problem my compressor seems to work just fine the clutch engages and everthing I replaced the fan, expansion valve and accumulator and still blows nothing but hot air...

[@CoolAirVw]

email me please. Find info on my website at www.kansascitytdi.com

[@rasheedmalcolm9611]

Richard I follow yr instructions and me AC is blowing freezing cold but wen I rev the car I am hearing a rattling noise coming fr the compressor but it ok when it idles plz help me ifbu have any idea wat went wrong

[@CoolAirVw]

I cant know if you did something wrong or if there is a problem with your compressor or whether the noise is something else.

[@rasheedmalcolm9611]

@@CoolAirVw I think I realized wat went wrong I don't have compact tool and I think I bend the fan looking thing that the control valve go thru I had noticed that fan blade looking seal didn't cover one of the 4 holes at the time I wasn't certain if it shud be like that . I pulled up a old seased up compressor took out that part it's a little rusty tho I put it in some transmission oil soak gonna clean it up in the morning do u have any advise in that regard ? My AC freezing cold tho just the noise when I accelerate noise go away . Thanks for prompt reply

[@JohnSmith-gx1gu]

[@ivkoist]

Popravio kompresor na Golf 3-ventil platio 25 eura-hvala!!!

[@CoolAirVw]

nema na čemu. Hvala što ste gledali moj KZbin kanal.

[@javidasgharzadeh413]

How work control valve??

[@CoolAirVw]

can't explain whole system here. I would mess up the explanation.

[@marktirabassi7160]

Where do you recommend I get a 2002 Volkswagen Jetta compressor rebuild kit ?

[@CoolAirVw]

I don't "recommend" parts, nor do I "recommend" rebuilding them.
