Hi,
I just charged up my AC system on my car which has been retrofitted to R-134.
I do not have a gauge, but the system was evacuated so I put in about 2 cans of freon for a total of about 24 oz.
The AC cools fine while driving, but at idle the compressor rattles loudly and does not cool at all.
Yes, the compressor has oil.
The compressor acts the same way whether or not I have 12 oz of freon or 24.
I don't know if this is all tied into my other overheating post, but it can't fully be tied to it because it consistently and immediately rattles at idle. Putting the gas up to what feels to be even 200 RPM makes the rattle go away, and the air conditioning blows cool again.
Yes, I am positive that it is the air conditioning compressor as the rattling starts at idle when the ac switch is pressed.
Thank you in advance for any input.
