KK well so far no cold air coming out The Air condenser has pressure but our attempt at waisting like 2 cans of Freon failed to produce any results.

I have to find an Auto Air conditioner specialist cause I am spinning my wheels here. Anyone know one??

UPDATE:

The AC specialist says his diagnosis is a bad air compressor now not the fixed Condenser.

I am starting to get a eye twitch!! Back to the dealer to see if it's under warranty!!!!!!!!!

hmmm should be, I don't think that would be considered a wear and tear part and mods wouldn't affect it. keep us posted!

Gonna go to Longo again. I made an appointment for Tues. morning for a re-charge. I am not gonna tell them anything. Let them figure out the problem since I fixed what they told me was wrong to begin with.

Not sure why the compressor would not be covered. They would have to prove you damaged it somehow. Good luck!!

Yeah I am sure they will blame it on my Pulley. I have no doubt after a really long day at the dealership today "again" that they will find a way to not warranty the parts.

They could not find the problem and gave me this BS about how they are really not used to having to deal with a fixed condenser rather than a brand new one and that my pulley is a different diameter than the OEM (BIG BS on that) so they really can't tell whats' wrong.

THis is 2 weeks of "DAYS" off of my life I will never get back.

The dealer is not blaming the pulley "yet" but I am sure they will try later. They are saying they cannot find the problem and need everything stock for them to make the right tests. Including the fact I had the condenser welded instead of just replaced.

Did you have a set of gauges on the a/c at any time? and if you did what were your readings?

We used gauges each time. We made sure all was good and that it was in the blue (ok) and at anytime if it was over in the yellow etc. we adjusted.

No, I meant what are your readings on a gauge set that has numbers,do you know what the suction and discharge was doing according to a gauge with numbers?

Oh, all I remember from looking at the device the AC specialist used was a 0 on the left gauge. No suction.
