The Compressor died on my 20 year old Honda and a very trustworthy mechanic (retired Honda tech) said OEM parts and labor would be ~$4000 due to possibility of black death in 2nd generation CRVs. I said no way and watched many videos and did it myself for less than $400. It's been three months and the AC is still cold. My problem was the opposite of what you're showing here but I agree with your approach. What have you got to lose with older cars and outrageous costs. I plan on getting a GX soon so stumbled onto your channel. LOVE IT.
Dude that was one of the most informative videos I’ve ever watched and I love you tube! I never really messed with that part of car before but you showed how simple it really is so thank you so very much. If I could give you a thousand likes I would you certainly deserve it!
Bob of all the niche car communities you could have ended up in, I'm glad you chose a Lexus gx. You could have been a Honda element guy or a Porsche 911 guy and then they would all be enjoying your informative and hilarious videos instead of us. Please please get a Lexus LS next. I'll send you mine if you want to work on it. Thank you Bob!
@@jorgefernandez281 if I was a Porsche 911 guy I wouldn’t be here wasting my time making $12 a month on TH-cam. I would be in a jacuzzi looking at a sunset with my mom’s bestfriend. She just had breast implants last month. I’ve been dying to motorboat them.
Hi Bobby, was missing you there Sir. You should "Prime" the line before you put the gas in the car. That way there is no air going into the system. Simply set it up and hit the trigger with the intake valve open. You should also make sure your cousin is primed too... send her some flowers or something man...
@@hurpaderpp I think you’ve mistaken me for promoting just any type of cousin such as your second cousin once removed. That would be gross. I was referring to my first cousin. Yummilicious.
@@gnawty4662 The compressor turning on and off is typically normal but not at the frequency you’re describing. Too low or too high of refrigerant in the system can make your compressor malfunction and eventually fail due to unstable pressure . I would put a set of gauge’s on your low and high side to check.
@@GXBOB thanks Bob! What do you mean by gauges? It is frequently turning on at every stop. It is obvious at red lights. I will take it to Lexus for review and see what’s up. I’ll post an update.
I have a 15 and when I turn on the AC, drive to the store for 30-45 mins, come back out and my AC is off so I have to turn it in again. This is a hit or miss depending on how hot it is. So how do I have it on the way if was when I turn off the vehicle?
My ‘18 460 blows the same temp air when ac is set within 70-80 degree range. Have to crank it way down for it to start blowing cold, and crank it way up to start blowing hot. But it’s one or the other - no fine precision air temp regulation. Think this could be low refrigerant issue?
You must have known I was thinking of you and this fix. bob thanks for the video just replaced the engine and the compressor now and the AC works
@@FORTIS.DynamicEng.Solutions wait a minute…. You’re telling me you just replaced an entire engine?

Wow inflation. Those cans of freon used to cost around $18-20
@@steelhorses2004 i actually bought the can before summer for $19. It might be a seasonal price and most likely in demand since it’s locked up.
GxBob, I think you forgot your snow pants lol love your videos!

Hi, bob. i've seen some ppl include mine gx car door not working. could you make a video about door lock actuator? THank you Mr.Bob
thank bob video
u put all the air from the line into your ac system😭😭
No, no cousins, BUT.
When your AC is on and you’re at a stop, do your RPMs go up and down at every stop?
