Having an issue with my AC. Being as its hot as hell here in the mid Atlantic region, I've been putting my AC through its paces. Yesterday I noticed the AC would stop blowing cold for awhile and then kick back on and be fine. What I'm trying to figure out is if it sounds like a compressor problem or a freon problem. The car is an 05 with 125k. AC has never been charged or messed with. I really don't want to have to pay $75 bucks for this to be diagnose by a tech, then pay for a recharge and a new compressor to boot. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Jason

 

Your problem is very common, normally its the A/C clutch needs reshimmed.
Look in here, everything about it, service kit part numbers, short how to write up.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much.

 

Get the shim kit with c clips also and replace your compressor coil while in there.

 

Also check the fan. The nut came off on my Evo 9 causing the fan to stop spinning and putting strain on the compressor.

 

All great info guys. Looks like I should take my own advice and use the search button more often. The links helped out a bunch, As I got the part numbers for the service kit and coil. They are on their way. Too hot to be messin around with no air!
