Auto Repair Guys ...i dont want to remove my ac. i think i can remove and replace valve without removing ac. i need to know. my ac is filled with gas. do i need to remove gas before i take out my old valve or can i safely remove the valve and replacing it with new, without removing the gas. please answer =) thanks

[@kunschner]

If I got a grinding noise that goes away when I switch ac on is this the part I need to replace? Mk6 TDI

2007 VW Rabbit 2.5-I was quoted $1000.00 to fix my AC. After watching this video I bought a new solenoid,installed it and my ac works again. Thank you very much!!!

[@redamansyhh1]

can i know where did you buy your new solenoid

[@edgarpadilla01]

Did you have to empty the ac unit before removing the solenoid? After installing the new solenoid did you have to get your ac serviced?

Does the compressor need oil after installing new valve?

[@emeryz10]

You decided to leave out the most important part of the process. YOU NEED TO EVACUATE YOUR REFRIGERANT BEFORE REPLACING YOUR SOLENOID. You can’t tell people it’s an easy 20 dollar fix and not tell them the most important part.

[@alben_pr3650]

That's not true you dont need to evacuate the freon

@@emeryz10 for that just go to a shop pay for filling youre done. They profit so much more from this stupid sooenoid they claim high labor costs around taking compressor off and outting it on.

[@emeryz10]

@@Juppie902, or just don’t be an idiot. Evacuate the refrigerant into an empty container, break the seal on the system, replace your part, close up the system, place under vacuum and let it set for 15-30 minutes, start the car and run the compressor, reintroduce refrigerant back into the system. REPAIR COMPLETE. You don’t need to go to a shop. You don’t need to blow all the refrigerant into the atmosphere and ozone, then pay for more. It could be a simple 20 dollar fix if you know how to do it and have the proper equipment or have a friend that can do it for you. This isn’t drink the beer and try to wobble shit together in order to fix your car. If you don’t know how then learn the right way or pay someone to do it.

[@Biomedman82]

Great video. Do we necessarily have to remove the compressor completely to replace the solenoid or is there enough room to access it without having to evacuate the system and removing the compressor?? Thanks in advance for the advice.

[@michaelb.7800]

Biomedman82 no you do not need to remove the entire compressor all you do is take the mud flap down from the passenger side unbolt the compressor undo the service shield underneath the car and pulled down slowly and even pressure down to the bottom radiator hose the only tricky part about it is to get the snap ring out with that type of angle so it would be best to have a second set of hands

[@flippinhippie63]

Michael b Wondering if you can provide some insight. Compressor pulley activates when fans & a/c turned on, but I only get warm air out. When I connect gauge to the low pressure hose it goes up into the red. Everything is stock, 02 tdi Jetta. Any input you might have is appreciated.

You guys are awesome! saved me a ton of $$$!!!!! FYI when pulled out a bunch of small debris sand like stuff came out.......

[@jstar1000]

I'm so glad I found this video I had a $1700 bid on replacing everything but my system would cool after a good 10 minutes or so. I have a 2007 Jetta 2.5L and I was able to remove the solenoid from under the car without removing the compressor. I have ordered the part and will install it in a few days and should be back up and running. I will report back. Thanks for the awesome help!

Thanks for this info, it saved me big bucks and the fix was easy! To my pleasant surprise, on my 2011 Jetta TDI, I was actually able to replace the valve with the compressor still fully installed. The hardest part of the whole job was just getting the car up on jackstands so that I could work under it. A $1600 repair bill was reduced to a $20 valve, $10 R134a, and a bit of my time. Thank you! Same as what you showed, the new valve looked different (longer) than the original, but it went right in and works perfectly.

[@nortons4673]

When you did this did it release the refrigerant out of the system?

[@juliovaldez5468]

I found another video that was specific to my compressor. It is a similar valve that is found inside of the compressor. I replaced mine and everything worked out great!

[@Qazihamad]

There is an easy fix for the delay start ac, stops at idle, or low cooling. Remove the freon from the compressor, add approx 250 ml oil into the compressor, and than add the froen. The oil will lubricate the solenoid valve and ac will work perfectly fine. I have tried this method and well satisfied.

great video! helped me on Volkswagen CC! Is it possible that BMW is the same issue? 530xi also has ac control valve. Do you think its worth to try?

[@teravolt6113]

Higher than normal suction side pressure (has to be around 30 psig to produce adequate cooling) and lower than normal high side pressure always points to a faulty compressor control valve. When both pressures are very low at the same time, refrigerant weight might be low.

[@ughievox2513]

Yes common issue on sanden px14 and px16 compressors. This valve on VW also used on Toyota Camry and rav4 2005-2009.

[@wintersun398]

Thank you. You look very happy in your job. Subscribed.

[@teravolt6113]

Remember one thing with these clutchless compressors: their internals are always operational, whether the AC is on or off. If you ever damage the condenser (collision, road debris, rocks et cetera) and everything leaks out, immediately turn the engine off and have the car towed to a competent body shop/mechanic who will replace the damaged parts, restore AC circuit hermecity and refill the AC system. No refrigerant means no lubrication for these compressors. Without refrigerant, they soon seize up.

[@_Drekavac_]

My ac is full with refrigerant, compressor spins, vcds shows 0 errors. If i remove the solenoid, will the whole refrigerant leak out or nothing will happen?

[@teravolt6113]

@@_Drekavac_ You guessed it correctly, all refrigerant will violently (valve will shoot out like a bullet kind of violently) leak out at once if you remove the compressor's solenoid control valve. All the refrigerant needs to be recovered before the solenoid control valve is removed from the compressor.

[@_Drekavac_]

@@teravolt6113 thanks! I think its the solenoid for me because the refrigerant didnt leak. When i turn on the AC the air temperature doesnt change and i hear a wierd sound coming from the vents, so that could mean the the compressor is fine? I did some vcds testing (i dont know much about this) but i think the pressure showed 2.6 bars and 800mA of current, not sure tho. I just hope its not the compressor cause that would be around 200€ 😬

[@teravolt6113]

@@_Drekavac_ Depends which weird sound you're referring to. A hiss means no refrigerant. A motorboat/robot sound with no hiss can either mean refrigerant getting low or faulty control valve (in reality it's a combo of very little refrigerant flowing through evaporator+compressor operating in lowest displacement; it's basically the reed valves resonating through the suction line)

[@_Drekavac_]

@@teravolt6113 yeah its like a hissing sound, likse sssss. I touched the valve where you refill the refrigerant and it came out under high pressure. Is there something i can look in vcds and see the problem? Or other way to diagnose it better?

Took it to the mechanic, and at first he said”it loooks like it might have been overcharged, and we have been evacuating a lot of air and moisture.” I was hopeful at first but then he comes out like 20-30 min later saying compressor is bad, we need to replace it, replace the condenser, the valve and the drier. Total cost of 1700. Now I’m wondering I were to do this, would it let me know that it should work? Would I still need to recharge it so I can see if it works?? Thanks! And recommendation or tips lol

It is possible to replace the solenoid without removing the compressor, however, you STILL NEED to evacuate the refrigerant from the vehicle. It could be difficult since there is little to now room to perform this repair.

[@harwoods11]

They are very specific valves, don't fit all compressors. Check diagnostics before thinking of buying one of these valves. Ensure there is gas pressure but no power through the compressor. Remember that any pipework removed should have new o rings fitted and oiled, system must be properly evacuated and then recharged with the correct amount of gas. Obviously leak check. Not a 5 min cheapy job so think before you undertake. 👍 Oh.. Try to remember what circlip is too 😁

I've been struggling with very very similar problem with my Audi A3 2010 HVAC since it went for the 60k(I guess) km periodic service. As soon as I took the car from the Audi dealership, grabbed the phone and called right away to say that was more than 30Cº outside and the car just did not cooled the cabin like before. Just didn’t made cood as before and could not cooled me inside the cabin. They regassed it, adjusted the vents, improved but was never like before. I live in Southern Europe and in Summer I get 40Cº days and this car when was brand new refreshed the cabin in 2 minutes of A/C working. Just from the start of the engine, even before it got to operating temperature, against what Audi technicians say (BS from them). Can a bad service ruin the solenoid or compressor ? I don’t know if this is my exact problem, but I should try it. Do any of you have the same problme as me and solved it replacing this solenoid ? PS :What makes me mad is that Audi technicians just don’t know how to diagnose this and they just replace the all compressor unit. They should be the first ones to know what’s wrong with the car. Thanks a lot you guys for letting this out to other people.
