Hi, all.

I just recently started having just warm, humid air come out of the A/C (1997 850 Turbo - evaporator replaced at 40K under warranty). I hooked up a pressure gauge to the low-pressure port and it appears that the compressor keeps cycling between 20 and 45 every few seconds, so I'm assuming that I have enough 134a.

Am I right in assuming that the problem is either with the compressor clutch or the compressor itself?

Thanks.

HI Andy,

I posted a post few minutes ago regarding my air conditioning now working and asking what steps I need to take to troubleshoot the problem. Since you are facing the same issue and seems to have tried out a few things, can you tell me how you started to troubleshoot it?

Thanx!

 

Had the same problem last month (1995 850 Turbo). Turned out to be the clutch on the compressor. Repaired and is working perfectly. Cost : $600. High but it is working perfectly.

 

you can get a reman. compressor for around 200 bucks and it's pretty easy to replace actually. i'm having the same issue with my 96 850 and after reading through the forums a bit, it seems it's a pretty common problem and is generally the compressor clutch if you've already verified that you have enough r134a in the system.

 

Low on freon.
