I have a question: my Elantra 2008. I added freon and is working fine, cool really good, but now is making the motor to vibrate. Every time I put the A/C the RPM goes down and the motor vibrates, stay at 600 RPM or less but the car Vibrate and I see the motor vibrate much more than when I turn it off. Once I turn off the A/C RPM goes back to normal. Idler air control valve is new. Motor mounts are new. PCV clean. MAFS new. Throttle body clean. throttle body sensor new. O2 sensors new. Car has 182K miles. Engine filter new.
— Any Idea? Thanks
Hey chris, great video. Ive got a bit of a classic car that had the ac compressor removed and it was driven this way for a couple years. The hoses were not covered and were just left… dangling.
Would you recommend i install a new compressor and try it or would the contaminants destroy something? Its rather difficult to source parts as my car was never sold in america.
Yes, and don’t forget to also clean the system and the lines if they are dirty. If the compressor is black inside its cavity, the correct procedure is to clean it with Freon 11 or gasoline.”

“نعم، ولا تنسَ أيضاً تنظيف الدورة والليات إذا كانت متسخة. وإذا كان الكمبروسر لونه أسود داخل فجوتِه، فالصحيح هو تنظيفه بفريون 11 أو البنزين.”

A few things that you shouldn’t skip. First check the amount of oil that came out of the old compressor so that when you fit the new one it’s not too much oil in comparison. Also you should always spin the new compressor manually before running it to circulate the oil.
Why didn’t you change the sensor as well?
