Re: GM A6 Compressor Switches
IIRC (it has been a while), the answer is yes, as long as the threads are the same. The superheat switch is part of a fail-safe circuit for the A6 in your application. If the back of the compressor gets too hot, the SH switch senses that, closes, and grounds the hot wire to the clutch, causing the (...

Re: Continued from my previous thread: Plans for 90 civic A/C rebuild with newer gen Sanden compressor - remaining quest
So far no luck in getting any replacement for that line, so I am wondering about repair. I found a short piece of hardline with a female o-ring fitting like this: (photo removed) I would think that cutting off the old end and replacing with the above should be easy, but how best to splice this? Cou...

Re: AC service caps for Honda, do they provide seal the AC system?
I purchased a couple of new caps at NAPA today. I'm guessing they should be installed until they are snug, and then tighten just a bit more. But maybe someone can let me know how much force is needed when installing the caps in order to avoid refrigerant escaping. The caps are usually plastic, so d...

Thanks, Tim. I thought that might be the reason.

Cusser, Here are two out of the five photos that failed to post with my earlier comments. Might have been too many at once. Three more to go

Re: Broken AC high side cap - 1998 Nissan Frontier
Cusser, I believe that auto manufacturers make their caps with proprietary threads and size differences inside because I've had the same problem as you with replacements not threading on. Why they do that is anyone's guess. One would think that the caps would be standard across the industry with onl...

Re: 2010 honda civic ac not blowing cold
how do I know if the system is working properly? You don't...not without the proper tools and know-how. As Tim mentioned, those Recharge Kits with a single color-coded gauge, available at the Big Box Stores and some auto parts suppliers, can't tell you much of anything without seeing specific press...

Re: AC service caps for Honda, do they provide seal the AC system?
1. Regarding the Nylog Blue, I'm assuming the old Nylog Blue should be removed and reapplied each time the AC is serviced. If so, is there product to remove the old Nylog Blue? You could just wipe it off each time a connection is opened (hopefully, you won't be doing that very often :mrgreen: ) and...

Re: R-1234yf system question.
If you recover the refrigerant or have the shop do it, and then seal the open ends of the lines that you remove from the condenser, and the condenser itself, driving the car as you describe won't ruin the compressor. The compressor won't engage anyway with no refrigerant in the system. Pulling the f...
