A/C Question on a 740
 
My a/c hasent worked since i bought the car back in august. I really dont mind at all because i can jsut put all the windows down etc. BUT recently my buddy bought this kit for about $32 bucks, and i guess it filled up his condenser and now his ac works great. Now before i go and maybe buy this quick fix thing i jsut have a question. If my condencer is shot then ill waste $32 bucks i know, but how would i know if my a/c condencer is shot. When i turn the a/c on should the condenser make noise or anything like that to show its working? Thanks a lot.

you would have to have refrigerant in the system to know if the condenser is bad, it doesnt make any kind of nois or anything like that.

I think he is comfused with Compressor.

The center of the compressor will turn if it is working.
But you will have to add refrigant to find out.

Right tech, because the compressor is belt driven. I think. Anyway thats what i needed to hear, now maybe i will get some refrigent.
