Ac Conversion From Automatic To Manual by NwaTeacher1: 10:52am On Dec 06, 2015 |
I had a leaking compressor and want to change it. My Ac technician told me that for it to work, he will convert the mechanism of my Ac which is automatic to manual. I don't understand the reason behind this and want to know if it is a good idea to allow him go on with the conversion. Your advice and suggestion is highly needed. Thanks |

I struggle to understand why you'd want to ruin a perfectly good car. What's wrong with either fixing the leak in your existing compressor, or sourcing the CORRECT compressor as a replacement? Your compressor was designed variable displacement for a reason. Less load on the engine, and better gas mileage as a result. The software in your climate control module is optimised for your current set-up. It is NOT designed to drive a magnetic clutch as used on older vehicles. |

NwaTeacher1: To restore your car back to factory way. Buy same compressor that came with your car (be it with the automatic clutch type or manual. If your car came with an automatic compressor and you install a manual type. The ecu needs correct feeds frm the compressor to determine fuel injection so as to compensate for load, if those values are wrong then you would be dealing with 1) high fuel consumption 2) rough idling when your Ac is put on 3) excessive wear on engine |

I believe there are two major challenges with this. 1. The AC technicians do not know how to fix the automatic AC systems with new or used compressors 2. It is difficult to find new compressors in the market This is my experience, I don't know if anyone has faced this challenge as well. Sienna,mayor et all, waiting for your advice/comments |

Maybe I don't understand what he meant by leak at compressor but if he replaced the oring at the high and low connections they refill the sysrem should that fix the problem? He never said the compressor was bad just had a leak, am I missing something |
