Honda How To leaky ac valve replacement

Even small leaks can drain your ac system a lot of times its a easy fix by replacing the leaky valves. Some wd 40 or even water can tell you if its leaking. Also in this video i tried the Artic Freeze Ultra synthetic to see if it was cooler faster

[@Warmsun777]

6/1/24 Thanks for posting this! I just fixed mine.... first I tested the valve by pouring a lil water in it to see if it bubbled up... it did... so I changed the valve poured some water... no bubbles! Added my freon now I'm good2go! Peace✌🏿

[@97CeeL]

What kind of car ?

[@RickyPisano]

So I don't need to vacuum out the system. My high pressure valve leaked out all of my refrigerant. Great idea!! Thanks. I have a 2005 Ford 500 and hope I can purchase this valve.

[@keaaul808]

Although you stated replacement of both valves, I didn’t see the replacement of the high side valve. Because replacement of the high side valve is definitely different since its entire external fitting has to be unscrewed and replaced instead of just the Schrader valve.

[@teravolt6113]

That little cross shaped tool is really meant for bicycle valve cores, and it's too short to be able to grab JRA High Flow valve cores.

[@teamicahayah5460]

Best demo I've seen so far on KZbin. Thanks

[@GenX_US_Marine]

It actually is a little bit colder than the other stuff, but I still prefer regular Freon. Also you have another issue going on. 64 degress is not acceptable at all unless its 110 degrees outside. I would check that expansion valve and evaporator core.

[@terryhites1]

I’m interested in getting a professional Freon recovery machine- mine has gotten worn out over the years- I’ve used balloons most times to catch it all, have even caught it in bicycle tubes and car tires… the amount of ways you can recover it is endless! 😮😅

[@terrenceg3257]

Thanks a lot!! Your tip to purge the air out thru the hi side just saved me the cost of a Vacuum pump and Manifold gauges. Do you keep the bottle upside down the whole time?

[@josephcazzuto7198]

I always thought you tilted the can back & forth as you filled it.

[@koreymayo8884]

You can't just always fill to 30 psi. Psi varies with different ambient temps. And your vents would be blowing out way colder if you pulled a vacuum and charged correctly. I've seen vent temps as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer on a properly charged system!

[@johnjoseph7382]

if you had 20 degrees the evaporator would be freezing, the lowest you can get to is 32 since that is freezing level, nice try tho

[@AngelMorales-vs9mk]

20 deg F, that's crazy. You have snow coming out of your vents.

[@gunlover1955]

LOL, you opened the system and filled it with air and moisture it must be evacuated with a vacuum pump or the moisture will turn to acid and eat the aluminum lines and compressor up. I also want to know how do you know how much Arctic Freeze you added to the system it must be added to the right weight.

[@BlastReadingSeries]

For real... maybe some cars are impervious to this???

[@deasttn]

my thoughts exactly.

[@asarangan]

Technically, if you purge it long enough with lots of freon, it should get rid of the air and moisture, but there is no way one could do that by letting the air out in small squirts as shown in the video. I am interested to know how long this ac system survived after this refill.

[@battlerealestateinvestment2029]

Hey thanks for the video. I took my car to the Honda dealership and they said I need a AC Discharge Hose. However I don't completely trust them seeing as I took my car to them for the same problem, paid them $400, and the issue was not fixed. This time they tried to charge me $1k. Should I try replacing the the AC valve first before replacing the entire hose?

[@tedhicks5431]

I know they make core removing tool for Hvac equipment under pressure cause i have one wonder if they make a tool for car

[@skymitch89]

Not sure about what's going on with that car, but I put the Artic Freeze in my 99 Durango and it was blowing colder that it ever had before. On a 95 degree day, it was blowing about 50 degrees. Unfortunately my low pressure valve is leaky, which is what brought me to this video, so I lost all of it.

[@JasonTylerRicci]

When, for example, you replace the condenser and thus all the freon is removed from the system, can you recharge the low port with this method? I thought the compressor had to be running to accept freon into the lines. And having no freon in the system, wouldn't the compressor not run?

[@daviderhahon]

Nice video Cody. But please, a link to the part 1...??

[@jeffkang5300]

Hello! Thank you for the very helpful video. Just a quick question, where can I buy the replacement valve for the low pressure ac port? Are they all the same for all cars? The lower pressure valve on my 2003 bmw 325i is broken and leaking. Thanks for the help!

[@darrenarseneaux6102]

thank u Cody ur video is great. Nice job keep it going very helpfull thanks

[@DELREYGUY]

That bicycle type tool is too short for the Schrader valve on my 94 Accord had to take it back and get a longer tool

[@jimbola77]

thank's cody for sharing!!!!!

[@Dr2009king]

WHat a professional ... recharging the ac while the engine is off :D.

[@teravolt6113]

Maybe he has a vacuum pump and vacuumed the system beforehands. Who knows. Letting the comp grab the charge is not a great idea anyways, it gets starved of lubricant in the process.

[@ZT_Performance]

Man still calls the (refrigerant) freon, also where's your manifold gauge set dude.

[@Clintaso]

@@teravolt6113 Pretty sure he didn’t pull a vacuum, he even said and showed that way of removing the air was charging the Low pressure port and bleeding the high pressure port manually

[@chrisfettig]

what valve stem part number did you use? or where did you obtain it from? great video! 1 of my civic's vs is leaking and I think I will try tightening it first maybe...

[@josephcazzuto7198]

Thanks for posting. How did you know what size valve to purchase?

[@akaredcrossbow]

Hello great video. Will this work on a 2006 jeep commander. If I'm doing both high and low valve core replacement do I have to anything else, or can I just fill the low side with refrigerant Thank You

[@mizturyous]

I have a 2006 Acura TL with the low pressure valve leaking. Where do I get the valve from? I really need to get one ASAP

[@JKB3670]

+mizturyous just check auto parts store.

[@respl78n82]

How do you replace the low AC pipe on a 96 Honda Civic? It's the part that goes into the dash of the car. I can't find any help on.

[@cryptomaniac2]

Bro my low valve port does not have the little schrader valve inside...I can't screw anything out.

[@raevenriano666]

Where did you get the valve replacement every where i look they say i need the whole assembly!

[@johnjoseph7382]

it's called a valve core

[@yourstruly9340]

Get it off your bike ha ha ha ha

[@klausreviewscraftrestore3152]

Schrader Valve Cores is what this is, not presta, any bike shop has them. its a bicycle part. very cheap, they sell the tool also.

[@yourstruly9340]

The difference it’s not being 50% colder it’s just that it will reach the cold temperature 50% QUICKER

[@JuicyBrisket]

Ok so I replaced mine twice and like wiped it out but it leaked out after both times, thinking about just replacing the line it’s like $30-$70 depending on where I get it. Also is there anything cheaper I can pressurize the line with as the car is off to check the valve?

[@xMrSilver99x]

If you just need to replace the low side valve do you need to evacuate the system, is it empty if you hit the valve and no air comes out? Mine does have air pressure when I press on the low side valve and I see small leak from it but I have no vacuum equipment to take it out, so if just one side does it still need to all be removed?

[@66crush9]

how did you avoid having to vaccum the system down if you opened it up there

[@chatothemc2954]

Quick question I had the motor replaced the motor and the ac now just builds way too much pressure I let it out and it builds back up again should I replace the ac lines or

[@chatothemc2954]

96 civic LX same ac system I believe

[@dextersinkfield6824]

How did you know it was the Val stem

[@MultiJoeMoma]

do you what kind of valve a 2006 saturn vue uses? i bought a kit to change my valves but my valves had larger ends and the tool wouldnt fit on the valve

[@user-jy9ni9le8f]

Shot I didn’t know you had to drain the air in it. I just took it off and ohh hell no. All that Freon came out. Talk about pressure. And Freon every where. I now I know you have to drain the air.

[@ManduxH]

First of all, thanks for the vid! Secondly, like the other viewers, I'd like to know the name of the tool uoubuse and where can I get it.

[@seriousamm]

Been looking all over for a video like this, big ups man huge help. Got a leak exactly like this on a 4runner, low side and everything and I was thinking I’d have to replace a lot more than just the valve stem.

[@poppindronez8600]

Thanks so MUCH! !! Man autozone told me to get a mechanic lol ... I told them my valve was leaking and shit

[@NamNguyen-te6pr]

What kind of the tool? Where did you buy it?

[@svldvc]

amazing!!! thank you for this!!!!

[@quimrider1]

It's advertising that it will get colder faster. Not that it will get colder. The can clearly reads "colder 50% faster" not "50% colder faster" as you state.

[@joekim4794]

Can someone please help me.. i recently rebuilt my ac system in my car. New compressor, new condenser, new evap, expansion valve, cleaned out the original ac lines with ac flush fluid and even new o rings for leak proof seal. before recharging my system i vacuumed the system for 1 hour, turned vacuum off and waited an hour, the pressure still remained negative so once i knew the seal was leak proof i vacuumed for an additional hour and then proceeded to recharged the system. While recharging the system i made sure to purge the yellow line to get all the air out before adding refrigerant. this is where I messed up... added too much refrigerant...... after a few days of ac working, it stopped. compressor wont kick on anymore but still spins freely by hand. i went to uncap the high and low pressure caps to check pressure and the high pressure cap boom! goes flying out and starts to constantly leak refrigerant and i believe the compressor oil. the high pressure valve on the line i guess blew/busted. can i replace just the valve? and now that the compressor oil seemed to have leaked with the refrigerant how do i know how much more compressor oil i need to add with the refrigerant after my ac line is fixed?

[@klausreviewscraftrestore3152]

looks like you need some professional tweezers to get out that valve core. good video though...except for the missing tweezers.

[@NETWizzJbirk]

Why not use a no loss core removal tool?

[@CodytheCarGuy]

not everyone owns one or uses one these videos are here to help the diy'ers out. Now at my shop i have all of that including an a/c 100% recovery machine.

[@NETWizzJbirk]

What I am saying is if you have a Leakey valve, you can remove the cap, pop on a no-loss removal tool and close the valve... Screw on the core removal portion then open the valve... Advance forward and unscrew the bad core. It will pop up... Turn off the valve, unscrew the core and reverse to install a new one. No need to recover and recharge as you loose virtually nothing

[@CodytheCarGuy]

NETWizzJbirk ahhh i see where your going with that but most auto parts store don't sell them

[@bcbp14]

NETWizzJbirk where can I get one of those?

[@NETWizzJbirk]

Amazon would be one example...

[@702xRyder]

where can you exacltly buy some?

[@richarddaley1]

What the name of the tool your using

[@1jckinnick]

What was the can you had on while you were pressurizing the system? Was that not the Arctic freeze can?

[@CodytheCarGuy]

+Luther Blissett i have used artic freeze and its ok i never really noticed it got colder quicker like artic freeze suggests it does.

[@sancheztorres35]

what's name of tool for the little balve

[@sancheztorres35]

valve

[@CodytheCarGuy]

+Armando Sanchez schrader valve removal tool

[@salisane]

Hey buddy, I have honda odessey 2007. I need to replace leaky high end valve. Is it the same valve as any tire pressure valve or I need to buy it at dealership. Thanks

[@mrbox3ify]

If my valve is leaking do I just remove the stem and replace or is the system still full of freon?

[@CodytheCarGuy]

Mr Box You might still have pressure you have to check first before you take the schrader valve out

[@Tigrillo214]

How do you open up the high side port with the rubber ball in it, without damaging it? I want to do the same thing you're doing, venting some air out of it.

[@TheModAddict]

I need to know the same thing

[@deasttn]

I'm trying to understand your question, and here is my guess: I would suspect that his a/c system is not working well and not under much pressure. Just a guess, though.

[@mandotorres746]

Excited to swamp out hoses and condenser got the same a/c bottle it's a bit disappointing to find That out but excited to to do the THANKS to Wal-Mart lol Wal-Mart budget hahahah

[@bcbp14]

What was that first can you hooked up?

[@1jckinnick]

That's what I would like to know.

[@Ihaveadashcam]

What do I do if my valve fell out into the interior floor.

[@klausreviewscraftrestore3152]

use alot of adult language.

[@Nyck461]

I like your method to remove air from the system. From 3:40 to 3:50 it seems like the valves has baubles (air gas escaping) .

[@hitmarkarz8615]

that was from the car running. It wasn't bubbling, just shaking.

[@garlicdawg]

i couldnt read the temperature dial...can you tell us what its supposed to read....? thank for video..!~

[@realn7374]

Is it possible to remove the seal but not let any Freon out I don’t have a vacume so just wanted to know before I lost it all.

[@bibodude]

Hi Cody, The a/c of my civic also has a leak from the low valve core. I try to buy a only new valve core from ebay ( not the valve kit) but I found nothing for my civic 99. Can you tell me the part number or the model of the valve core from your civic. thanks

[@koltoncody2885]

if it has a schrader valve just replace the valves. get a valve core removal tool and take them out, put new ones in, don't overtighten it, then do whatever. hopefully.

[@jkokuna808]

lol, there is no subsitute for a vacuum pump bro. your technique doesn't remove existing moisture from the system.

[@CodytheCarGuy]

That actually works pretty good when you don't have a vacuum pump or a/c machine. That honda blows 36-38 degrees all day long ! Now i shoot videos to help people out since not everyone owns a vacuum pump. I also own a rti machine but that's not for the simple and easy diy guys.

[@jeff8062]

Cody the Car Guy I see that but this but your simply intentionally venting air/refridgerant, and not removing moisture from the open vessel. Intentionally venting is not considered De minimus and so this video would be self incriminating as far as the EPA is concerned.

[@waltpett2364]

I noticed that when you were charging the system, you had the can upside down. I always read that you are supposed to have the can upright. Please explain.

[@briancranford8110]

Walt Pett he's adding it in as a liquid to charge it faster. Just don't add it too quick and flood the compressor

[@johnjoseph7382]

where did you read that at ? nobody says to hold the can upright

[@trevorbyron9448]

Should have watched this video first before I went to buy a vacuum pump. (. They're costly)

[@mandalorian-justice3726]

I have a 1996 acura integra,and a friend tried to replace the valve stem,and it still leaks bad from there. could it be the wrong stem,or is the hose just bad? Your thoughts?

[@alejandrovargas4022]

does the valve need to have the cap ?

[@deasttn]

No, but it is recommended (the cap does not provide a seal...it merely protects the valve).

[@Sroor2023]

What's the model of this car

[@deasttn]

Late in the video he says honda civic. I have no idea what year, but i would suspect it to be at least 10 years old

[@alexmacias6007]

Valve steam link ???

[@klausreviewscraftrestore3152]

any bicycle shop. schrader is the type here its not the presta.

[@thecuss6817]

I wouldn't use such "Magic Fix" stuff, it contains sealer, and that's not good !!!

[@allenlee466]

I charge 100$ just for them to change that small thing

[@toilet1880]

I was charge $50 just this Sunday - it hurt - just for that small schrader valve

[@tokshorts8407]

Lol it's hissing, you didn't recover it

[@Erklzanderz]

For having a shop and working on vehicles you sure dont read and comprehend very well.....it says colder air 50% FASTER. Meaning that the air is cold in half the time that it takes normal freon to get to the SAME temperature. Whether that is true or not would take a time comparison using an immediate reading device such as an laser temp gauge not a turkey thermometer. Thank you for the video, maybe next time we leave the comentary out. Haha. Good day

[@briancranford8110]

How exactly would it get colder faster? If it's at a certain pressure, it's at the same temp of all manufacturers of 134A. If it's not then its not 134S and the pressures would be different.

[@pilotguy13]

This is terrible. Definitely Not a professional. You can see all the oil from the freon he let out blasted all over the engine compartment behind the AC line. If he actually Did have a reclaim/vacuum system, you would see it. “I’m pretty sure all the air is out” Well.. I’m pretty sure this is a hack repair.. but.. It might work…

[@kenholt8297]

👎

[@michaelangelo6378]

Must be old car, held together with zipp ties, rubber bands, Scotch tape and bubble gum.

[@jsd21hb]

soo many mistakes.

[@chickenknucklez2604]

I'm sure u can understand

[@yourstruly9340]

But ll shit! You know you didnt use a recovery machine for the freon, if you did you would have showed it . You let it all out in The atmosphere. Good try.
