The only flaw in this video is that you didn’t recommend going straight to service position or that a guy on the TDI club does it in 20 minutes. 😂 Thanks for helping the community. You’re Appreciated.

[@dasmuven1911]

You’re a lifesaver! Got a road trip coming up and definitely need some cool AC, thanks again Mike!

[@TheTexican05]

Wife: “What would you like to try with me tonight?“ Mike: “Service position. I always go there first.” 🔧👌😉

[@fadyramaihi1975]

Life saver man I’ve been wanting answers for a while found your video life saver

[@justingarrison319]

This video just saved me the 3k the VW dealer wanted to charge me to replace my AC thanks man! #serviceposition

[@Mikefngarage]

cool and not that hard either. They charge way too much. DIY.....dont forget service position and the RKX valve. I did the valve on my other cars and fixed EVERYTHING....DIY thermostat too...That one is expensive at the dealer. I show a serious shortcut. Look up thermostat shortcut.

🤣 They only quoted me 2100

[@mistl]

Great video, excellent. However you managed to say service position 214 times. If you removed that expression from the video it would be 7 minutes shorter.

[@Mikefngarage]

Thanks for your comments and likes. Your comments may help another person get their car repaired so we dont need to keep making new cars and the old ones can last longer.

You sir are a golden treasure. Thank you!

I just did this on my mk6, and I didn’t have to put the front end in service position, just took off the pipe and the fender liner, it look me a bit less than an hour to remove it. If you get the lines before removing anything from the top with a long extension you can remove them without putting the front end into service position. No loosing the dogbone either. Maybe the mk6 as a bit more space because it was really easy

[@Mikefngarage]

much easier in service. just not so hard to do the job. you can see. only takes an extra 20 minutes.

[@ThePako1984]

Ok Mr. Service position 👌

[@matthewbaxter7502]

Hi Mike Great video. If the fans are not working do they allways show up fault codes on vcds? Many thanks Matt.

[@johnevans3892]

I'm gonna have to hypothetically take my car to Mexico to discharge my AC. haha.

[@oliverberridge7706]

Can these type of compressors whine like older clutch type when they are failing?

[@LAW-fv6ys]

The bolts on the compressor pipes are T45. If anyone wanted to know before they attempted this job. Also I've done this without service position by unbolting lower engine mount, hoses can be accessed from the top with u joint adaptor on 1/2' extension bar. Service position is better but I was able to do it quite easily. I will try service position next time.

[@anthonybagnato7894]

How hard was it to get to the bolt at the back that is set back in a cavity did you push the engine back to make room to get in there to undo it

[@LAW-fv6ys]

@@anthonybagnato7894 bit fiddly and you can't see much but you can do it from underneath or above which ever suits you best. When the lower engine mount bolts are removed the engine rocks back and forth quite easily so you can push it back alittle to make a bit of space to ratchet in there. A second person holding the engine back or a strap looped around something and onto the subframe holding the engine back is also beneficial.

[@Justhangingaround99]

The splines on the compressor that connect it to the clutch stripped on me. Does anyone know of a way to fix it without buying a whole new compressor?

[@ChandleeStyle]

I did the same thing you did replacing the blatter value and then the compressor 2 years later but the AC is still intermittent. What would be the next thing to do? I think the blatter value might not be getting a strong signal

[@RATADATUAVELHA]

can I loose the hoses to free up the gas, install new compressor and then recharge again? another question: how do I replace the compressor clutch on a Skoda Superb from 2002?

[@Paulman50]

👍😊

[@joesalazar5674]

What do you do if the ac line is stuck on the dowel

[@hddm3]

Hell yah

[@ipresas24]

I think it’s in service position

[@ipresas24]

I wonder if it’s in service position?

[@Mikefngarage]

yes partial. pulled the bumper and removed 7 of the bolts and loosened the 8th makes it much easier. possible ithe the front on but a bit of a fight to get the ac lines on and off.

[@mcjjordan]

Mine seems to rattle like mad unless ac is switched on ….. any ideas ?

[@Mikefngarage]

probably compressor. could be the idler but most likely the compressor is going out

[@ScimPeep]

... I guess it is not legal to do this ANYWHERE in the world.

[@mikem8050]

Mike this has nothing to do with your ac, I'm in socal visiting I need a windshield for my 75 bay any suggestions as to where to buy one without spending to much money Enjoy the Day Peace ✌

[@Mikefngarage]

I would check the local glass supplier. I use a place called Los compadres glass in Rubidoux....Check Craigslist where you live and look for a windshield replacement guy. They are usually less than 150....Installed. but you might want to do the rust repair before you put one in. It will be rusty under that rubber.

[@Tsluna44]

dude great vid but man you talk waaaay to much. you could get the point across with so many less words

[@Mikefngarage]

yea for sure but that is just the way my brain operates.

[@ipresas24]

Is it in service position?

[@Mikefngarage]

try the RKX valve first easy fix usually does solves the issues.
