QuestionI had my compressor burn out of my 02 hyundai Sonata GLS V6.
I replaced the Compressor, the accumulator, expansion valve, condenser, all o-rings.
I have flushed the lines and the evaporator.
Now that I have the system together again....now what? I dont know the order of these next steps.
Fill with oil (where? how much? what kind? Do I need to 'spin' the compressor?)
vacuum pump the system (what stage do I do this at? before or after oil is added? I'll bring it to a shop for the actual pumping)
Fill with r134a. (to the gauge of cheap autostore r134 cans?)
AnswerIf you've used a factory compressor, it comes with oil already in it; you won't need to add any.
If you've used aftermarket, you'll need to add oil. This is done through the low side port after vacuuming by means of a bottle on the a/c charging machine or an injector tool. If you're taking the vehicle to a shop to have them vacuum the system, the best thing to do is to simply have them do the entire charging job-- vacuuming, adding oil, and adding refrigerant. This should also ensure the proper amount of refrigerant is added.
The order is: vacuum, add oil, add refrigerant.
