I just acquired an A/C compressor and hoses to fit into my engine bay. I believe I have all the parts I need (what's in my engine bay already is only half, so I picked up the other half off a junked s4). I'm just wondering if there's some kind of diagram out there that explains this install just so I know I've got everything I need.

 

If only there was a manual from the factory for servicing this stuff.....

wow, that's actually really helpful for piecing mine together and figuring out what to look out for. thanks dude!

 

 

^^ Hehe. bite me.

 

make sure you get the correct compressor oil to put in the compressor and the correct amount of it, (the r134a oil IS NOT compatible with r-12) then have the shop do a LONG vacuum on it, like 1 hour or so. then have em charge it up. and you are in business. I recommend changing the accumulator/drier as well before they vacuum/chagre it.

 

yeah, this thing was well-kept in storage but it hasn't been used in about 3 years so it'll need a full cleaning test before i put it in. i'm currently looking for a garage to hold my s4 for the winter so i can take care of all this stuff. i probably won't get to working on the a/c unit for another month or so. i'm hoping to do all the work on it myself, but i will definitely keep the suggestions in mind! thanks.
