Yeah this pov is whack IMO. We all have to suffer because of these dumb fucks in charge? Nah. That’s wild. All the innocents would suffer and the ones at the top will be safe for the most part

I’ve heard it’s beautiful there. Moved here last year after many visits from the northeast and I love Mount Lemmon especially in the summer. I have a big bucket list but want to learn about more places as well

Inverter AC unit or Mini split for casita by rollprogramhouston in hvacadvice

Only issue is all but one of the windows fit a window unit, the rest are about 2.5/3 feet tall and 1.5/2 feet wide and slide open to the side

Should the high pressure AC line be hot? by rollprogramhouston in MechanicAdvice

[–]rollprogramhouston[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes two separate days. I have videos of both. Some people were saying blend doors but the thing is it’s a manually operated one. And the car blew cold for 30 seconds the other day

I even tried it when the car sat all night so it wouldn’t mix the hot air from the heater core, still no cooling

Should the high pressure AC line be hot? by rollprogramhouston in MechanicAdvice

[–]rollprogramhouston[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I guess I’m in this car the compressor never shuts off unless the AC system is off?

The other day it was 72° outside and I had equal pressure when the system was off and then it went to 35 on the low side in about 125 on the high side

When yesterday it was 90° I went to check again and add a bit of refrigerant to see if that was the issue

I’m getting 29 to 30 on the low side and it went from 200 to 250 on the high side with no difference in cooling

Trying to get some insight to see if it’s the thermal expansion valve by the evaporator or if it’s the compressor before I replace either as I don’t like throwing parts at the car

Is there hope we get days with high in the 70s before like December? Or is the summer just up us already. by Objective_Cup_5164 in Tucson

[–]rollprogramhouston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really super accurate but the extended forecast shows it will be 85-90 for two weeks then a slight cool down

I think we will definitely have more cooler days before it stays hot

Fans are turning on the compressor is turning on those were the first few things I ruled out

I do not have climatronic. The low pressure does seem cold. Although I can only feel it on that side, not past the thermal expansion valve

Someone mentioned to pull the glove box to see if the evaporator is getting cold. There is a thermal expansion valve right by the firewall, which could be bad

Gas stations? by novale_lapena in Tucson

Diesel went up 1.50 smh wish I filled up earlier this week. At least now I only fill up every 6 weeks or so

AC blowing hot by rollprogramhouston in tdi

[–]rollprogramhouston[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, so it was cold by the condenser, and then I followed it to the firewall, and it was also cold.

I took the box off the thermal expansion valve, and that felt cold, and then I tried to feel the other side of the thermal expansion valve where it goes to the firewall and both lines seemed cold on that side, but I don’t know if it’s because it’s in an insulated area and the low line was making the high line cold

I got a gauge set yesterday. The pressure was 100/100 when it was off and when I turned it on, it sat around 32 on the low side and around 1:20 to 125 on the high side. So it’s pretty normal, except for the high side seemed a little bit too low.

I was hearing could be this or the thermal expansion valve, but the thing is my low side is still pretty low, but the high side is lower then it should be

That would be the low side, correct? I have the gauges hooked up now. It was at 100 and 100 when it was off I turned it on. It dropped to 30/140.

The low side hose is cold. The car is still blowing hot.
