I like it that you said the A/C system removes heat. There are still people who think cold is made by the system and displace the heat. Heat is removed leaving cold.
Yep. Cold is not really it's own thing in physics. Cold is how we perceive the absence of heat.
Ditto.
If your home has a split AC system, with the AC on, put your hand over the condenser fan outlet, the heat you feel comes from inside the house.
@@bblod4896 And home heat pump system make it colder outside in winter by extracting heat and transferring it inside.
@@clbcl5 there's some really smart people in the comments, I like it!
@@clbcl5
Yes, they don't work well in Florida. When it gets too cold, they freeze up. Father's house had a Trane heat pump. It always froze up in winter when the temp dipped below a certain degree.
2 degrees C , about 35F in Melbourne Australia
Almost like it's winter in the southern hemisphere when it's summer in the northern!
Wow, didn't know it got that cold down there.
@@bcw686they are in winter right now 2 degrees C in Canada is like a summer holiday in winter lol.
I’m envious ❤
Schools closed, stores out of bread and milk, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.
It's winter in Australia.
I kinda facepalmed....
Still not that cold though.
At least, not in Brisbane.
Winter in Australia, the best 2 weeks of the year.
I came here to say this 😅
Does your.."WINTER" ..consist of feet of snow along with frozen water ways? In Chicago 60 years ago winter went from Thanksgiving till April.
I always change the expansion valve when I do the compressor because if there's any debris in the system, it's most likely caught in the expansion valve (or orifice tube). @30:00... Since you already have the refrigerant drained, the coolant drained, the core support unbolted, and the upper hose off, I'd think it would be easier and give you more room if you removed the lower hose and pulled out the entire cooling package as a unit.
This is a very smart idea. Prevents redoing labor later.
Ray likes doing the job twice 😂
You should also change the filter drier and flush the entire system. If there's black oil in the system, the new compressor will not last long.
So very true.
You are correct. When a compressor dies, who know what debris was released into the rest of the system.
Hello Ray,
I absolutely love watching you videos. I'm now 80 years old and longer able to work on my vehicles ( 95
Jaguar XJ-6, 2020 Toyota Carolla Xse) thanks to a drunken driver. I was a line mechanic working on Chrysler and GM products. Watching you brings back very fine memories.
Although it's winter in Australia, Australia is a very big place. South Australia can get cold in winter but northern Australia can get quite warm in winter.
When is it not quite warm?
@@clbcl5, that all depends on what a person considers quite warm to be. I live in coastal North Carolina and quite warm is anything over 95°. Just stay out of the Sun and you'll be ok. Hot is over 100°.
4 trees down. No power. Fence down. Cell tower down so no calls or texts. Had to piggy back on sons phone hotspot to get a little internet. But everything is ok because I can watch a new Ray video. Houston Proud.
Sugar Land Proud here. Glad you are OK.
83 degrees/86 % humidity = Houston.
Not that deep. Way to prioritize
H gang rise up!
No air conditioning for you
In Australia the seasons are opposite when it's summer here it's winter there.
@@satguy southern hemisphere?
You’ve almost certainly heard about this before. The idea was used as the basis for an episode of The Simpsons, about toilets flushing the opposite way in the southern hemisphere. 😳
@@DonaldWells-wk8dc **hand over heart, tears in eyes and choking up...** And the hooome of the brave...
@@mspeir sorry...just scientific tidbit humor 😏🫡
@@DonaldWells-wk8dc Huh? That's literally a scene from the Simpson's episode. 🤨
@@mspeir Here I sit upon the sand ,a can of Foster's in my hand . A symbol of my Native Land - Australia, you bloody beauty !
I can remember when I was but a young lad and did A/C work, and my boss told me that A/C works by removing heat, not cooling the air. His go to about troubleshooting was there are three rules to A/C airflow, airflow, airflow. I had to replace the compressor on my 2GRFE a few months ago and that Denzo compressor was 700 bucks. Great video RAY.
Surely 'Removing the heat from the air' is exactky the same thing as 'cooling the air'.
Here in the desert we had 120 degrees F in the garden yesterday! But it’s a dry heat, sucks water out of your body as fast as you can drink water. Keep your body hydrated Ray.
118 in Phoenix
The humidity is high in Florida. Water just drips rather than evaporate.
@@toddbrown3606 I am South of Phoenix
Ray... I've been watching your channel for 2 years or more and you are very good at explaining the tools you use including the size of the socket, and your comedy is off the chart! AC question.. why is it that I never see you recommend to change out the dryer/accumulator when you change out the compressor? Even on your A/C repair of your Duramax it took a while before you finally changed that dryer / accumulator. Plus that 2007 Camry has lots of time and miles behind it. My basic apprenticeship training decades ago I was told always change out the dryer / accumulator when doing a compressor rebuild or replacement. Yes believe it or not rebuilds of compressors by mechanics were performed in the '70s. Different world now.
Yesss....Ray, explain why you do not Automatically replace dryer-accumulator, and any other parts that micht collect particles... Well? England expects you to ans-wer
i agree i hope he will quit showing ac jobs cause some of us no how its suppose to be done and he is far from doing close to right. saddens me mostly. guys like him makes us look bad. hes a good guy but he should not do ac. this was a quick cheap fix and will cost the customer more in the long run
He shoves his hand in next to running radiator fan, but honks for safety when backing up.😂😃
He honks as a habit because he has little ones at the shop
@@gimmeaford9454 I know. I was just roasting him a little bit.
Radiator fans are plastic nowadays. It will hurt and possibly break the fan but it wont cut fingers off hand off like an older meta
During the day here in Queensland Australia, right now, its 20C (68°F) .. But in the Summer, it does get to the same Temps you are experiencing, so rain and cloudy skies are welcoming... Glad we have Air-conditioners ..
We are in the middle of winter here in Australia. We live in Launceston. Tasmania and for the last 4 nights it's been -- 4.5 Degrees, towards the tropics like Darwin at the top of Western Australia its usually around 30C most days , winter and summer. Take care and thanks for all the content..............
Cold weather down under.
Frozen shrimp on the barby.
It's been 105 F here in the Central Valley of California, but thankfully its a dry heat.
That's it? I'm here too and it's supposed to be 109 today, but yep, "dry heat" in the afternoon.
It goes from a high pressure liquid to a low pressure liquid after the metering device
As the refrigerant is absorbing heat it boils and turns into low pressure vapor
LOL @96 degrees. The official high in Vegas is gonna be 119 today, which means it'll be 125 at my shop.
oof.. it'll only be 108F (42C) here in southern AZ.
Except you don’t have 95% humidity with 78° dew point
gonna be 113 here in Phoenix...
It’s 96dg in the shade. With the humidity feels like 110dg.
OMGosh, that made me melt a little 😬
71F in Brisbane, Queensland Austrailia, it's night, it's winter in the southern hemisphere.
and it's winter season.
Reference Ray's offer to pay people not to steal parts: My college buddy had a 1968 Mustang convertible. He put a sign in the window saying "Please don't slash my roof to steal the stereo. I will give it to you". He never had to make good on that.
64 f here in the north of Sweden .
Having owned several convertibles over the years, I learned to never lock the doors. Tops are way expensive.
Yeah, the crooks read the message and figured the stereo was JUNK. 😊
Love it when the family participates! Hey, Wife Unit, say hey! Where is "X" files Unit?
I really didn't care about having A/C in my late teens or early 20s now that I'm in my 30s I can't live without it, especially in the hot humid state of Georgia.
It is 32 degrees Celsius in Canada right now which is 89 degrees Fahrenheit it’s a little warm
Wait until you get to your sixties.
It's 113 degrees in Yorktown VA...
@ryans413 where you at I'm in Chilliwack B.C its 34c right now. My brother is in kamloops and its 39c right now so 102f
@@jonathoncatterson8901 I’m in southern Alberta
Southern Oregon has been a dry 100+ F for the past few days... So glad it isn't humid here.
i am amazed you can get your hands in some of the tight spots to get the bolts out
Here in Lunenburg,Nova Scotia @ 11:30am it’s a balmy 18 degrees Celsius (65 degrees Fahrenheit). You have my sympathy. Say hello to Dave.
I'm a truck driver, and I'm on the side of the road with a flat tire, waiting for the tire guy. Thanks for having GRRREAT videos to help me pass the time Ray.🎉
Always nice to see Lauren.
98 degrees here in New Jersey too. Feels like 102. It's summer.
You apparently paid attention in A/C school.
Once again, due to great engineering, a 15 min compressor change, turns into an hour and a half job. 🤨
Hi Ray and Wife unit, it is bloody cold in Diggers Rest just outside Melbourne. We are waking up to 9’c rising to 20’c which is winter ❄️☃️but does not stop us watching your show 👍👍
The heat is one big reason why we moved from Florida back to Alaska after I retired from the army well that and Alaska is a open carry state 😁😁😁 And nothing beats fresh moose stakes with smoked fresh Salmon when ever we want 😁😁😁
I'm loving the 80° weather in minnesota.
Hi Ray, just want to say how much I enjoy and appreciate your video's. Very informative, insightful and entertaining at the same time! Well done. Keep them coming.
Ray should fix cars at midnight when it’s much cooler.
he has to spend time with the wife and kids tho and make sure he's healthy!
@@background0001 Ray is our personal automotive Terminator. Terminators don't sleep. :)
It’s not that much cooler at night
It’s still like 90° at midnight here in FL. It’s pretty much hell here. 😂
It’s still that hot at night in Fl 😂 I live in the same town as Ray
They need to make some antigravity flashlights just for Ray! With little mini rocket boosters to hold them in position! 🤔
Truly ASTONISHING the amount of work involved AFTER diagnosis.
Seriously ray! 96 in your shop. I'm ao glad I moved from Florida years ago!.
On a different note. Put AC in your shop! That's like here in Maine not having heat.
I look at your views and my girlfriends channel which she has a 550000 less subscriber's than you have. Her analytics have her about $2000 a month. I know you would never be open to showing just how much you make, but I'm guessing about $23000 a month. From all the revenue, including ads. Jesus, ray. Make a deal with an ac shop to install and do maintenance on their vehicles.
I would definitely have ac
Yep
Torture working in that
Yes do it
I couldn't take the heat
I like the repair on the really hot summer day's people really appreciate a working AC unit in there vehical. Thanks to people like yourself who keep them repaired.
Well here in Parker Az in the shop 114
Props to you for working in that heat. You're used to it, but it's STILL 96 degrees!! I remember changing heads in the summer in NY and we charged extra for dripping sweat all over that engine compartment. I don't do stuff like that anymore.
I used to do heads on the streets of Queens,N.Y. in the summer 😂
Wow, That's where I had my shop!!! South Richmond Hill.
11:30 "Pay people to not steal our stuff" It's called Welfare. It's underrated as to how much crime it stops.👍
It’s amazing how much work it stops too.
@@caymanchristopher7014 make $20/hr at taco bell in so cal
@@caymanchristopher7014 yep, that's why young people in Australia don't want to work, because they get paid to do nothing.
13 (55) here in wet cold windy Wales. 2 degrees centigrade below average for mid-summer. Worst summer ever. "Today will be a cloudy and wet day, with overcast skies and spells of rain or drizzle moving in at times throughout the day." Dropping down to 11 (52) tonight.
Raining and 12 degrees Celsius. Approximately 54 Fahrenheit in Northern Ireland.
Not only ray's videos are entertaining, they teach us more about cars and why he problem is accuring. Ray also explains what the problem is in every video.
2pm in the afternoon in "Summer" 18.4C / 65.12F!!!!!! Somerset UK.
Where in Somerset are you, I am originally from Bath, Cheers from Melbourne
Same here, in West Sussex, but it feels colder because it's bloody raining again.
@@gunder3 I am In Burnham-on-Sea, but I used to live on the Mendips 12 miles from Bath. Kids went to school in Bath.
I am in Florida, happy to trade you.
Hi Ray…why’s these days your videos are so short….I like alooooooong videos….loved your videos man….
Stay cool, Ray! It’s 74F in Hawaii.
It’s 32 Celsius here in Canada that’s 89 Fahrenheit it’s warm here.
Weather report in Hawai'i. "If you liked today, you will love tomorrow!"😂
@@kenore4003 👍Affirmative!
It’s not 96 degrees here in Scotland however it is absolutely pouring it down with rain like there is no tomorrow
122 degrees F here in Southern Nevada..
Damm
its 14° in Scotland today translated by Google to 57 degrees. it was really hot yesterday 20°c which is 68 degrees. heat seems to be different over the pond 😂😂
I own a A150 1.5L Mercedes from 2005. 2 summers ago i changed the compressor, condesor and cleaned the evorator by removing the dash. Yes it costed me ~600EUR and a whole day of DIY but now even on +45C i can cool myself down.
The new parts where super cheap, and oem from NIssens
No Ray, it is winter in Australia. We don't put shrimps on the barbie, we use prawns.
I didn't have AC until I was 22. It was the first year of 134a, which leaked past the old R12 seals. I never got it fixed, and didn't get AC again until 2002. At home, I didn't have AC until I was 26. We dealt with it, then. Now, I'm 51 and don't have to deal with anymore. I have AC and keep it working. We're not much different from the southeast in the summer. We often see 90+ temps and 90% humidity. In fact, my son was at Ft Benning in 2012 and it was hotter and the same humidity in Wisconsin while he was there. I was working in factory in the 90's, welding steel frames for intermodal trailers in 113°F. I would work 5 minutes and be drenched from head to toe. We would stand in front of a fan for 15 minutes to dry off, then back to work for another 5 minutes. We finally decided that it was just too damn hot to work and went home. Our supervisor told us that they couldn't send us home, but couldn't make us stay either. That was our cue to leave.
As we say in Australia when someone says "it's 96 in the shade" "well stay out of the shade then".
Love your channel, great content 👍🏼🦘
It's cloudy and bet 47-50 degrees in Sydney.
Remember they are on the other side of the equator and when it is summer here it's winter there.
Here in southern Idaho, it's 94 in the shade and expected to be 103 tomorrow and 105 Thursday. We're a high mountain desert and don't do heat well. If it gets over 90 here, I start smelling like cooked ham. Great video sir. Keep em coming. Thanks.
I have a 28 yr old car and yesterday it was 96 degrees in the shade at the time of temp check.I got a reading of 33 degrees from the vent.I put it on normal mode to bring in outside air afterwards,it was getting too cold.
My cars AC I can get it down to 20 degrees and make it feel like a freezer.
I noticed the upper hose because I had a new condenser and rad installed in one of my beloved 1990 Rangers and while the a/c was back, the hose sprang a leak a week later. Since a boatload of money had been spent, I would have happily paid a wee bit more for a new rad hose! (not to mention the inconvenience of having to return)
Excellent job Ray, the 2grfe engine is not the easiest for compressor change out, u did it perfectly according to my experience
1:00 We have the rotisserie cooker over us in July. Australia is enjoying their winter right now in the southern hemispherical chamber.
Orlando, 104 in shade today, thats insane!!
Ray I'm in Australia and it's freezing .It's winter here..All the best..
I feel for you Ray, that heat and humidity is a killer. It’s going to hit 100F later this afternoon here in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, but humidity will be below 30%, so it’s somewhat tolerable 🥵.
I'm sure it's hot in northern Australia because it's always hot, but it is the middle of winter down there. Christmas is in the middle of their summer.
Hi Ray, i'm from Australia and love watching your videos, its currently winter here so we have a lot of cold days, cant wait for summer here, keep up all of the excellent videos.
Mid morning on Tuesday it was 59F (15C) here in the middle of England.
It's winter in Australia now.
My friends daughter was sledding in snow days ago.
Meanwhile in California It's hot as hell. Triple digits for over a week at this point.
The hurricane remnants blew threw here in S.E. Iowa just barely caught us and drove up the humidity. Tonight we have a cold front that will drop the temperature down to 86°for tomorrow and then the temperature will be going back up to low to mid 90's with an 82% humidity for the weekend. Somebody slipped in some Florida/Louisiana weather. Aw, summer in the Midwest. 😅
110 Degrees and climbing daily in central California these next few days!
I had the compressor fail in my 95 GTI last summer. At that point, VW had switched to a variable displacement compressor which adjusted itself mechanically depending on head pressures and cooling load. It runs full time, so if the evap gets too cold and starts to freeze up, a pressure activated arm changes the position of the swashplate that the pistons ride on. Long story short, the pressure arm failed and the compressor was frozen (😁) at its smallest displacement position.
I went ahead and installed a new expansion valve and receiver/dryer while I had the lines open. New compressor came pre-charged with oil, so I had to drain it and add back the same level that I drained out of the old one.
The past few weeks in Concord, we've been averaging 110 degrees on the ground. I'm getting 43 degrees at the vents, even with VW's infamous foam-on-the-blend-door's having long since deteriorated. 🤤
Colder than hell in New Zealand right now.... But that is the South Island for you.
I completely feel you on the parts debacle. I used to work in parts and saw it all the time, someone would bring back a part for some reason or another (usually a lie) and it would be used. Or the warehouse would box stuff at 4:59 on a Friday with 50% off at the bar and would have a COMPLETELY different part in the box than what it’s supposed to be.
On another note, I would have changed the condenser or at least desiccant or dryer (depending on how that one is set up) and the expansion valve to make sure there was no contamination in the system.
Hey its 12celsius in Adelaide today and rain coming its our winter
Love your Channel Mate
Kym
Adelaide
In some parts of Australia its often above 50⁰c in summer time 122⁰f.
All you can do is sweet and drink beer all day.
I decided i enjoyed the snow & ice more so went back to New Zealand i also didn't want to look 40 when i was 20 years old lol.
I know this Video is a couple of days late, but I do hope you all are making sure to stay hydrated and taking break's. Your not gonna do the customer any good getting heat stroke and collapsing on the shop floor. Stay safe and hydrated best you can in the heat! Thanks for the video Ray Take care!
hey Ray thanks for the vids as a grease monkey my self noone talks about the cuts the pain in your back or the back of your legs ect, and yet your kicking ass in the heat im up here in maine and i just want you to know thanks for showing us what you do and how to do it its great for my kids to learn keep up the great work
I don't know about Florida, but here in NY, you had better check the box whenever you purchase anything in HD before you walk out the door.
Its cold in Australia, even had a little frost on the lawn the other day because of how cold it got in some places of Queensland
You've become a Marvel Super Hero, can squeeze and navigate tight spaces!!
72 and still rainy here in the northwoods. Rivers and lakes are cereally high (which is good) but still chilly for swimming. Waiting for you to come back up so you and the fam can jump in the Pike River!
Not even close today Ray! A “balmy” 12c / 54f here in Melbourne today! Keep working on the accent mate! You will get it one day!! 😉 love the content and also can we get an update on Dave’s tool cart?? That was super of you to do! 👊🏻🍻🇦🇺
not so hot here in Tasmania which is a small island under Australia, we are in winter so very frosty minus 4 , love your channel Ray
You have been officially clocked at 9.9m/sec^2. Congratulations.
Unfortunately mate in Newcastle NSW it was 15 degrees Celsius or around 59 f today so cold at the moment
Man, I keep hearing how hot it is everywhere, here in South Dakota we’ve been hanging around 60 degrees all summer. We’ll be happy to take +10 degrees from y’all 😂
Been pretty chilly here in Sydney the last month or two since winter decided to show up this year.
It's currently 51.6F down here in Rosedale Australia. Damn cold
Well, where I am, just south and inland from Sydney, in an area known as the Southern Highlands, it's a balmy 9 degrees Celsius, feels like 4.5 with the wind chill factor. I keep my beer cool in the back yard and open the fridge door to warm the place up. lol. Just a typical Highlands winter here in Australia. Summers are another thing entirely.
Its really bad about the missing new parts in a box. Seen your vid and had to put a water pump on my 4.3 s10. Checked the box and gaskets were missing. Wanted me to drive 30 minutes to another one of their stores. Went across the street to a different parts house and bought one. The og store didn't check the box, i did because of your vid. So i went elsewhere. Thanks Ray! P.s. missing parts were at an oreillys
At 5:30 this am took the dog for a walk at 90°. Coolest part of the day. Currently it's 107° at 10:45 am here in toasty Phoenix AZ. But it is a dry heat! Bah - humbug. Stay hydrated Ray!
I am glad you caught that you missed the upper Rad. hose. When you were putting that bracket on I was.. "wait, you forgot the Upper hose' Now I can sleep or you would of found out some how. Enjoy the videos.
I gotta say, I loved your explanation of how an A/C works... 😛 Some of us, of course, knew what you meant, but I'm sure there were some who were probably jus' a wee bit confused.
Use fabric glove liners like a sock. Change them when they get sweaty. Have enough of them to make a laundry load.
Winter time in Australia, southern Hemisphere, opposite seasons to you. It's cold...
Ray, you do realise that it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere. It is 14 degrees C at 10am in Sydney.
Death Valley, CA was up to 127ºF, on Friday. Yesterday, it was 121ºF. Of course, the humidity is a lot lower than in FL, but I'm pretty sure that > 120º would cause a lot of sweat.
Down in Melbourne Australia, we are enjoying the 0 degree Celsius mornings, and a high ( if lucky) of 15 degrees! In between the rain, frost and ice we are wishing we were over there with your gang. …. Love Florida.
Over here in sunny Queensland it is bitter winter with day temps of 23 degrees Celsius and overnight down to 11 or 13 degrees Celsius.
Florida heat and humidity winner by TKO. Rainman you did not stand a chance. hahahaha
It's 17c here in Fife scotland have a great day ray ♥️🏴
Lameroo South Australia 🇦🇺 getting down -2 to-3 degrees Celsius gets very frosty over night and get around from 12 degrees to 19 degrees couple times during the day
Early afternoon in the UK and it's 59F 🥶😰 Weather has been weird here this year. It should be 70 to 90F here in the summer!
