#4 of 5 Re: AC Compressor problems [gpick] by dtownfb Jun 04, 2009 (9:30 am)
Replying to: gpick (Jun 03, 2009 1:02 pm) I'm dealing with a similar issue on my 2000 intrigue. I have the auto climate control and the driver side is blowing hot air and the passenger side is blowing cold air. The most likely cause is the system is low on freon caused by a leak in the compressor.   I'm planning to replace my Intrigue this summer so I plan to have my mechanic re-charge the system with freon and add a dye to find the leak. Hopefully the charge will last until I can replace this car.

Replying to: gpick (Jun 03, 2009 1:02 pm) That sounds right about the compressor being the problem given the low and high side pressures. If it makes you feel better, my AC quit blowing cold and I had very low freon (to the point that my compressor wouldn't even turn on). They charged the system and added dye to the refrigerant so they could later see where the leak was coming from. A month later and the air is not cold at all. Apparently I have a leak in my evaporator which is up under the dashboard and a real pain to access. They mentioned my compressor was making some groaning noises (I've heard it too) and that it would most likely need replacing soon too. The total cost was going to be over $1,600. That is about half the value of the car so I can't justify that expense. So relatively speaking, be glad it's just your compressor and not the evaporator.   My solution is to pay a couple of hundred dollars and tint the windows. Then in a few years just buy another inexpensive car.
