2010 Tahoe A/C Issue

[DareDog]

 

 

 

Yes i know cap is missing i just lost it today

BTW, not sure what or why you were told that but I just got off the phone with a friend of mine and he adds 134A to his 2010 Tahoe every year

 

If it is a can of 134A there is only one type of connector

 

Can anyone here confirm this info?

 

Time for dealer, let us know what it was

 

Good Luck

Well DareDog, another Tech has confirmed what my "old" brain thought it knew..... There is only one size connector for 134A (Lesson : NEVER listen to a "K-mart" employee LOL)

 

Well let us know how you make out from the dealer

it was a confusing cause bottle of 134a pictures on back of can showed to take the cap on line off and fill it there but it did not even fit. it fit on canister fitting. now i know where to put it in if it i need to recharge it in the future. also what is stuff in there? 134a? or r12?

 

 

 

 

could have the battery had something to cause this? truck sat over the winter i did move it a few times and last time I went to move it the battery was dead. i think it was dead for a few days or so.

 

 

Going to take it to dealer this week and will report back on what to problem was.

Battery has nothing to do with it , it's a completely closed system and is pressurized , and controlled by a module

Called dealer they can get it in Wednesday. So I went got 134a bottle and put the whole bottle in it. Now snow flake turns on. AC runs but is not that cold. Should I get another bottle of it? The gauge was in the Red when I first put it on.

Dropped it off this am at the dealer and they just called and said its fixed and to pick it up.

$101. Low on refrigerant and they did evac and recharge on it. Also dyed it. There is small leak they can't find. They said to check to see if dye leaks out.

[gmtech4]

They have to check not you , they have a light they use,

 

How much oil did they inject, ? , it's on the invoice receipt that the tech wrote/typed

Everything he did should be on the work order

well looks like it all leaked out it turns on but blows hot air, should i take it back to dealer or find a shop that does AC repair? dealer said its common problem for rear one to have issues and its better to just close it off
