You've heard me preach time and time again that it is imperative that you review and follow the OEM-recommended service procedures for any repair or service you are about to perform. System designs are in a constant state of change, and even if you just completed a service on a 2012 model, that doesn't mean it will be the same on that 2014 next on your hook.Let's talk a bit more about that with a focus on servicing A/C systems.As with many of the vehicle's systems, the air conditioning system has become more efficient than ever. Translated, this means that the service and repair processes you must follow are more precise than ever. The old days of "close is good enough" just don't exist in our industry anymore. A/C systems of the last decade or so have reduced refrigerant capacities from pounds to ounces, and lubricant capacities on some models can be less than two ounces. Adding too much or too little of either can lead to premature failure of the compressor. |
