    As a none mechanic and as a young man I used to crawl under my car on the drive or in my garage to work on it with the limited tools that I had, but that was never very many. It was a time when British cars were moving away from imperial sockets, spanners etc to metric and I could guarantee half the time I didn't have the right size. Now I'm in my late 70's and have all the tools needed but physically no longer able to crawl under a car etc. It isn't the getting down but it's getting back up after. Anyway carry on with your recordings as I, like many others, love to watch your video's no matter how small a job it may be.

    Ray: Good vid as usual with the compressor on the 2011 Camry 8/19/22.
    I've watched you do a bunch of compressors, and of course if the comp trashes the internals and feeds metal filings into the lines, then you gotta do the condenser.
    I'm not very experienced on A/C, and I'm just wondering how often you have to get up behind the firewall and do the evaporator?
    Some of those older Ford's you gotta take the entire dash off to get to the heater core, where the evap should be right next to it. Been to that rodeo. (1980 Fairmont).

  • @user-gi7ee3yp8q

    Good! Just need to flushing the AC systems, get the debris off the system, change the Silica Dryer if the old systems not contaminated. (Which is usually not in this type or compressor, because they use ECV to control the refrigerants in and out, mostly the problem is the ECV). And original compressor comes with compressor's oil which matched the capacity, so no need to add more.

  • @johnaclark1
    @johnaclark1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Don't forget to get into scan data on these vehicles for AC repairs. There is actually a flow sensor on that compressor that commonly fails, along with a control valve that also likes to stick and fail. I've seen wiring issues to both of these devices on the compressor before so a few extra minutes to verify wiring integrity can save you the headache of a missed diagnosis on the compressor. Tappy tapping on the control valve will sometimes make them start working, confirming a bad control valve. You can replace the control valve and/or the flow sensor with aftermarket to save some good money. The flow sensor doesn't even require evacuation. In a shop, it's usually best to replace the whole compressor as Ray did. Hopefully, Ray drained some oil from that new compressor so the system doesn't have near double the oil quantity in it.

    • @privilegedwhitemale306
      @privilegedwhitemale306 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If it was the valve, the new compressor wouldn't work anyways. In my opinion, id rather have the new part on there anyways. If its the valve then that can be verified and changed afterwards. Most people are too cheap to appriciate new parts anyways.

      That's because aluminum oxide is more dense than aluminum while iron oxide is less dense than iron. So when rust forms, it expands and cracks exposing more iron. On top of that, iron oxide forms a hydrate with water. Aluminum does not do that. It forms a dense and impenetrable layer.

    Doesn’t the reman compressor come with a full-system charge? If so, that Corolla owner now has too much PAG in the system. How much? We will never know, now.

    What is it with the plastic covers ? Anyone that knows anything knows what an engine looks like, is it to boost the cost ?
    Don't we already have enough plastic junk ? That's why I prefer classics ! Good solid steel.

    Honda with steering rack and steering pump , Toyota with A/C compressors inside look like metal shavings, have to change condenser and dryer , I thinks all this Toyota compressor damage is because high pressure switch not shut off compressor and let it keep running on and on until pressure built up and oil burn up and gas leaks out to orifice valves or orings

    My ac is not working. Relay gets power but it seems like that power doesn't go anywhere after that. Even after swapping relays or trying to jump the relay nothing seems to happen. There is no power at the connector on the compressor. Any thoughts?

  • @2Atreehugger

    Make sure those bolts go back in their correct location…. I’m not sure what years had a problem, but if the bolts are switched, the long bolt in the short bolt hole, it will pierce into the block oil passage… didn’t happen to me but have seen it done twice. The only real repair is a short block. Future reference only…..🥳

    Intentional or not, engineers malicious running joke on auto mechanics, the more inaccessible a fastener is, the longer they make the thread engagement... or fail to provide space to remove said fastener. I firmly believe all engineers need to spend at least 1-year servicing or building anything they intend to design, just to make them appreciate what they are forcing on other professions.

    Hi. This may be foolish question. If you have blown compressor that left contaminants in the system. Does the a/c machine filter out the contaminants as it recovers the refrigerant gas?

    My little 97 Miata has it's belts tensioned in the same way. I prefer it that way vs a stretch belt or spring loaded tensioner pulley.

    • @michaelpressman7203
      @michaelpressman7203 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree with you on having tensioners on your belts and adjustment extract belt is just the way to save a few dollars on adjusters not easy for the mechanics at all I don't think it was a great idea have a good weekend

    • @stevewhiting556
      @stevewhiting556 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      My old ford probe (Mazda 2.5) had a similar system. It had 2 belts and 2 “bolt” tensioners. You just loosened a nut on each pulley and ran the bolt up and down. Easiest belt change ever.

    • @stevewhiting556
      @stevewhiting556 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      On a side note, I just changed a belt last weekend on my newer Mazda. Hardest damn belt I’ve ever changed. First belt was too short. Even with the tensioner all the way loose it was 1” too short. I broke the tensioner trying to get a little more. Second belt was the correct size, but just barely. Had to zip tie the wrench to the control arm. Once the belt was on, the tensioner never even moved.

    Wouldn't you be better high side charging as when you dump all that liquid in the high side it goes its natural way but through the low side you can wash the oil out the system. And pistons are full of liquid so you can't start the compressor straight away
