Re: Cooling issues

Alright. Our A/C actually isn't working. The compressor had to be changed out and it wasn't refilled. If I were to turn it on would it trigger the fan? I know the clutch and all that wouldn't engage because there is no pressure in the system, but at least if we could turn a fan on with the A/C switch when it starts to run hot, that might help.

Damn, there was some brown sludge in the resivoir. I just changed the water pump because it was dripping, so I flushed the system the best I could and took the resivior out and washed it too.... it looks clean so far, but I guess it has only been about 5 days, LOL. I was hoping that all the oily crap and brown sludge in that resivior might just have been from the hoses deteriorating.

Alright, so I guess it is decision time, but one of those retired cop cars that I have been itching to get back, or do the smart thing and take advantage of my girlfriends dealership pricing and get a newer vehicle under warranty so I don't have to spend my weekends fixing cars....

Anyway, thanks again for all the help, you may have just saved me a lot of money by not keeping the car till when the inevitable LIM gasket fails.

Would putting that BARS stop leak in buy me some time, or make things worse do you think? I actually had a 1993 Caprice police car that developed a intake manifold gasket leak and figured there was nothing to loose by giving BARS a try, it actually sealed the leak and gave me another year and a half before I had to take it apart and fix it right. It was a water fall of a leak too.
