#5 of 10 S-70 Air conditioning by jonny01 Apr 30, 2007 (9:23 pm)
My A/C is blowing hot air, I do hear the clutch engage for 2 seconds and then it turns off. I'am thinking it just needs a re-charge since I havent had one in 105k miles. The dealer is very expensive for just about everyhting. Can I do it my self with a A/C kit you can buy from Kragen or Pep Boys?

Replying to: 4children (Jan 21, 2008 5:07 pm) I'm, unfortunately, doing the same job right now. I assume they asked you for the specific motor size (2.3 or 2.4 ltr) and turbo vs non, when they sold you the set. I assume you torqued all head bolts in the correct sequence and to the proper value. And that you didn't reuse the old head bolts. This engine calls for 'torque to yield' spec's on the head bolts, so they are ruined for reuse. Did you replace the timing belt when you had the head off? whether you did or didn't, did you make marks on the two cam gears and crank gear to assure identical positioning when reassembling timing belt (new or old) as when you removed the components? (if you didn't correctly position timing belt on reassembly then your valve operation will not be coordinated properly with your piston movement or ignition spark - so your car will crank with no results [except you may smell unburned gas coming out of the exhaust pipe.] AND you may end up seriously damaging the valves and/or pistons when cranking the engine if this engine has zero clearances between the valves and pistons at TDC [top dead center]) good luck Replies to this message: ergarity (Oct 20, 2008 12:14 pm)

Replying to: inetadv (Feb 04, 2008 2:02 am) hi,   My husband has just taken apart the head, replaced 12 intake valves, replaced all 24 seals, had the cylinders machined, and put everything back together. He lined everything up, tried to start it, and nothing. There is no complression, but befiore thsi goes in for the really pricey mechanigc job I am expecting, is there anything else he can try?

Replying to: vlibum66 (Feb 10, 2007 9:31 pm) To everyone who has a turbo model - if the oil is whyte and creamy and there not whyte smog - it's means that a Secondary Air Pump is gone or full with water. I hope it's not too late..... toko
