Replying to: imidazol97 (Jul 13, 2009 6:07 pm) Harbor Freight like WalMart specializes in the marketing of Chinese goods. I once bought a bulk pack of razor blades for $1.99 vs the American version at $5.99. What I found was the cardboard that they are wrapped in was no longer cardboard but thin paper and a few of the blades had no edge not to mention that the crimps were missing on some causing the blades to fall apart. But hey for a buck ninety nine what do you expect.

My auto (2005 Chevy) A/C - the compressor engages but a few seconds later disengages. It does cool, but limited and I can't have the compressor going on and off like that. I had added r-134 - just a little low - and think I might have gotten air into the refrigerant. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Replying to: hop2 (Jul 16, 2009 5:49 am) Compressor cycling on and off with frequency indicates low refrigerant. Replies to this message: hop2 (Jul 17, 2009 9:45 am)

Replying to: obyone (Jul 16, 2009 11:32 am) Thanks.   It also behaves like that with too much- as I found out.   Learned to never trust the gauge on those Superstore refrigerant cans.

Replying to: CapeCod (Jun 04, 2008 1:01 pm) Hi I have a 2001 Olds Silhouette Van that has the exact same problem as described in #713 Hot on the left cold on right, did you ever find a solution to the problem.
#779 of 791 THANKS by oldfarmer50 Jul 28, 2009 (9:27 am)
Thanks all those who weighed in on my not too cold AC problem. I finally got around to getting a can of 134a at the local auto parts store and did it myself. Only took half a can to charge it up to spec. Now , if I leave it on high I'm frostbitten in the same length of time it took to start cooling before.   Cost me about $20.

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Jul 28, 2009 9:27 am) Not that I'm a greenie but what happened to the other half of the can? Replies to this message: oldfarmer50 (Jul 30, 2009 7:41 am)

Replying to: obyone (Jul 28, 2009 3:12 pm) "...what happened to the other half of the can..."   Sitting in my basement for the next time I need it. I'm pretty cheap.   Hey, that means my fix only cost me $10. Hoo ray.
