air con system questions

[Chimp871]

since I got my cerb the belt hasn't been connected up. The pulley spins freely and have yet to test if compressor, condenser, dryer, evap etc are working as they should.

There's a reason it's not connected and wondered what were the common faults on the air con system to save time?

So plenty of different issues then. The compressor is the big due to its cost so am thinking I'll put on a belt (5pk1113 I believe), re-gas and tested properly and look for leaks.

Assume there's no quicker way?

I've got an air compressor - do you connect to either hi or low port and what pressure do you go up to I can add an air reg to make sure it's not too much

Thanks gents. I'll have a go at turning the clutch.

It's a weird quick connect coupling that I don't have otherwise I'd throw a gauge on. Let's see if the mechanics work first.

So the clutch turns nice and freely with little resistance. I can feel it grabbing slightly as it passes the ports. Good news at this stage.

I'll hook up the belt & pulley and see what we get. If nothing then I'll find a decent air con place and get them to test it for pressure and leaks.
