anyone have recommendation on AC repair/recharge in the bay area. preferably in san ramon or nearby.

i just bought a conversion kit from kragen and filled up with R134a but the AC wasn't blowing cold air.

car is a project car (91 legacy).

thanks.

 

hmmm, I tried the kragen stuff too and that doesn't seem to work for me neither. Would be nice to know a good a/c repair shop. Or maybe it might just be my a/c belt.

 

iw ould like to know. somewhere between sf- san jose

haha thanks! I was about to tell him to search for AC and my username.

 

thanks for the reply. another thing to do for the project car. after getting the AC to work, i'll need to look up stupiddent to get a dry fog odor removal done.....

 

you might want to do some basic diagnostic before you go to the shop... so you have some idea what is going on before you walk in...

 

sorry for the noob question.....but what type of basic diagnostic is necessary?

 

well, you said you charged the system with r134a, did you check the pressure after the charge? if yes, check it again, does it hold?

next, check the compressor... does it even turn on?

if no, this part is the tricky part, you'll need to check the voltage reading from various location. i would check at the compressor (multiple locations there) and at the receiver dryer.

good luck

 

cool. thanks. i'll try that tonight.

 

Check Craigslist. That is where I found a shop. Fremont Auto Electric and Air is where I got mine fixed.
