Thread: RRC Air con

You could always swap for a 92. Much better air with 2 blower fans, and vacuum switching of flaps. LOL
Its not freezing is it? If the thermostat is not right in the fins, it can freeze the evaporator.
Other than that a gas leak may have tripped the low pressure switch on the dryer if the compressor suddenly stopped. If the compressor is not working bridge the terminals on the dryer and see if it starts. If it does then no gas ( or bad switch)
I have never heard of a TX valve being blocked but then I do not have much experience with aircon other than making them work well in Rangies.
I would be looking elsewhere first.
The hot air bit is usually just the adjustment of the cables to the flaps. Now I THINK an 88 has a tin box like my old 77. If so you can get at the clips which set the travel of the flaps on the side of the box, and reset them for full travel. Of course the foam seals may have disintegrated by now.

If its the TX valve its a bugger as I understand you have to drop the aircon to get at it.

Thanks, mine seems to have similar set up to what you describe as 92. Has duel fans and is vacuume switching.
Compressor still runs and can see refigerent in window on drier. I think the foam seals may be worth a look.
The dash is going to have to come out again
I will look at the the thermostat as well.

Thanks agian Tony

Aircon

That's what window winders are for, I thought climate control and electric windows were one and the same

So the AC clutch is engageing??

Yea the compressor seems to spin up but is heating pipe up to the evaperator big time

We had all windows down but we had a few heat sources today Thought about the back one only gas struts are no more.
Ah I know I'm getting soft

Need a pressure gauge to check the refridgerant, if its gone, you have a leak

No one here does them or eleco. I'm thinking about taking the plunge and getting licenced. Mid life crises

I have had VERY little to do with refrideration stuff, merely a few jobs on instrument air dyers, where we've had A/C techs called in, so I'm stepping out knowing there is some very Refriderant savvy people on this board
