ok yotatechs... never saw an ac compressor so i dont have a clue on how it looks like... i just bought a 1992 toyota pickup v6 4wd... the owner i bought it from had a rebuilt motor put in... when i was test driving the car in the heat i turned the a/c on... nothing but hot air... was told that it needs to be recharged... called around got qoutes around 200 bucks... he also told me that if recharge fails he will pay to get it fix... he puts it on paper and signs it... the seller was a co worker... but yea... back to the compressor... is there a way to see if the compressor works or not? and where is the inlet to rechage it.. im not doing the recharge... just wondering where things are... heres the pics...

it will be great if someone can use microsoft paint to circle the compressor and inlet where you charge it...

thanks folks

 

Sorry, not seeing the inlet to charge real clearly on the other picture. It will be on the passenger side of the engine bay, so take a closer picture over there.

 

more pic of pass side...

 

my files are too big huh... is that why its not showing on the post?

 

jcfb has it. Look for a schrader valve on top, left hand side. thats where it gets recharged.

 

i think i found it... so this is the r 12 system huh... i just called a local shop wants 249 to convert it to 134... good bad?

 

depends... is that price including new refridgerant?? If not are they going to modify any lines?? i know sum ppl say that you need different lines to hold the r134a or else itll leak out slowly

 

My local dealer was not worried about this. Their retrofit was only to flush out the old system, change the fittings, and pump in R134a. Haven't done the mod yet though.
