D4 A/C Compressor issue

Sounds like same intermittent fault as OP.

I doubt removing and filling with new refrigerant would make any difference,particularly as the AC in the vehicle had never been touched before.Yeah.... Same thoughts

As I posted, it was low on refrigerant. At least this will get me home so I can investigate further. The point that I was trying to make is that once it had the correct charge in it there were no erratic pressure problems causing spikes and drop outs. I will be having a really good look for the leak when back home, and I shouldn't cook the compressor on the way.

Gonna be an interesting weekend, gonna tackle this. Will get someone to degas and evacuate the lines tomorrow.

Local supplier has the compressor in stock for $645. Will also change the receiver dryer also.
