I have a 2nz-fe engine which is a 1300 cc and I'm in the process of changing the AC compressor. Sounds like a Toyota engine installed in a Yaris or possibly a Corolla, many of which use Denso compressors. I've identified a compress which would be a direct bolt on on my engine but it's from a 1800 c...

Have a shop recover the R134a and determine how low the systems is, then add correct amount plus UV dye. If AC performance is OK, shop will return to you for a few days or week, then you take it back in to have them find the leak, and repair the leak, etc. NEVER add sealant or refrigerant containin...

Ok so the Freon can was freezing up and it took like 30 minutes to get the car to take Freon. You guys were right, it’s working great now! Thank you so much for the help! Maybe I didn’t vacuum it long enough? But after the vacuum both gauges were at 0. Glad it's working now. But will it remain work...

The oil qty is determined for a complete system, not a compressor only. Oil qty is also very conservative, the factory amount is usually more than necessary. Yes, I know. But we should keep in mind that this is a custom system composed of parts from a '65 Nova (OEM evaporator), an '06 Silverado (OE...

Today, Veterans Day, let us pause to say "Thank You" to the 19-million men and women veterans, living and deceased, and the 1-1/2 million on active duty: We might not know them all, but we owe them all.

Curiously, when I search the first GM part number you mentioned, 1522310, it comes up as a compressor. I'm not a "parts guy," but could it be this one instead: GM part #23141321 Suction Hose Assembly? Additional thoughts: The two assemblies you received that seem to have identical, unusual...
