thanks , good point. I was thinking that G65 just interrupts the compressor operation when the pressure exceeds a certain value. Is G65 dynamic where it works across the pressures or does it just act as a switch?

I just hooked gauges up to the system and get a reading of 38 psi on both gauges showing it is equalized. Note - It was about 56F outside. According to the F R134a blue scale on the gauge 38 psi corresponds to about 44 F. When I made this measurement it was about 56 outside. The compressor...

Thanks again for posting. I have been doing lots of research into the ac system and is seems like high pressure switch in the video you posted turns off the system when the pressure gets too high. Both of my fans turn on when I turn the ac on. I believe if the high pressure switch was bad and...

I stand corrected, my vehicle does have the high pressure valve switch. I was confused as I thought it was mounted to the compressor it is not, it is mounted down low near the radiator fans.

thanks, I believe the 2.5L gas model only has a control valve and not a high pressure valve. I could be wrong, I am new at this and tring to understand the system

I am the original poster of this thread. The AC compressor in my car doesn't turn on. I am trying to figure out if it is not turning on due the low pressure or something else. I thought I had a leak and had no pressure. I just borrowed a set of gauges my my neighbor. I Just connected them...

thanks for al the replies this is where I heard about it

Hi Not sure which forum to post in as I didn't see an AC forum. Aren't you supposed to pull vacuum on the ac manifold gauge set hoses before you connect them to the vehicle? Scotty doesn't seem to in his video:

I did some research late last night and found that in the front only the toe is adjustable via th etie rods in the rear both the toe and camber is adjustable Rear Camber – eccentric cam bolt upper control arm / transmission link Rear Toe – eccentric cam bolt lower lateral / transmission link...

so no rear toe?

Hello I have a wheel alignment question for a 2006 VW Jetta What is adjustable for a factory / stock setup, no aftermarket kits. Basically what is adjustable for this vehicle and a standard wheel alignment? Front toe, camber , caster? Rear toe, camber, caster?

Hi Can this brake caliper compression tool be used with a two piston caliper, application is a front caliper? https://a.co/d/0i0VUh3r I understand that the pistons need to be pushed in together at the same time so one doesn't pop out. I was planning to use one of th eold brake pads and...

Hello We have a 2022 Subaru Impreza that we got new and it now has 48k miles and the front brake pads need replacing. Looking for recommendations on what types of pads to get and or avoid. The vehicle is a daily driver that sees a 50/50 split between freeway and local street driving. I...

hi i have a 2006 jetta with stock non-steel wheels. I guess they are alloys? i am going to soon be getting tires mounted and wanted to ask what i should request weight wise when balancing? should i go with stick on weight? or clip on only on the inside of the wheel? or other? Thanks

I only drove the car a few hundred miles in the last two months. I didn't drop the pan yet and change the filter. Originally the transmission would have a very minor stutter when driving in gear not while shifting. It went away after the first spill and fill. Do you think that the cause...

Hi following up about 2 months later... Last weekend I drained and filled the transmission. The 4 quarts I drained were still very dark, I was very surprised. Someone recommended I save some in a baby food jar to compare. I guess I will do it again in about a month.

thanks everyone, I plan to have the thermostat replaced soon it was just interesting that on the drive home today the temp gauge seemed to indicate that the thermostat was fine

thanks for the reply. I have had three vehicles over the last 20 years that at one time had a stuck open thermostat. A 1987 Nissan Sentra, a 1990 Ford Ranger and a 2000 Passat. I drove all of them for many months with the open thermostat and had never seen any of them ever go over temp. The...

thanks I have the heater off, there is never the situation where the temp gauge goes up higher than normal. I was really surprised this afternoon as the temp gauge was indicating that the thermostat was ok. I will continue to monitor it.
