View Full Version : no AC all of a sudden So-CaliWRX 02-11-2007, 08:52 PM so last week all of a sudden my AC stopped working. only hot air will come out. what could be the problem and I have the extended warranty but also have stage 2 on my car so will they still fix it under warranty?? on my pda phone so I didnt search. any help would be great. thanks!! Mulder 02-11-2007, 08:59 PM Most likely a loss of refrigerant due to a leak. It should be covered under warranty IF it was not caused by road damage (i.e. a hole in the condenser) or by something like the AC line rubbing on an aftermarket TMIC. racingfish 02-12-2007, 08:25 PM check your hi pressure lines see if theres any build up on them... thats usually the first place i check when someone comes in for the same problem. check your condensor see if any road debris might have punctured it. good luck to you. -RF North Ursalia 02-13-2007, 11:37 AM A bad expansion valve or receiver/drier will also cause this Brian http://www.northursalia.com/hosting/home.jpg (http://www.ravensblade.com) http://www.northursalia.com/hosting/impreza.jpg (http://www.northursalia.com) http://www.northursalia.com/hosting/imprezamods.jpg (http://www.imprezamods.com) http://www.northursalia.com/hosting/dmw.jpg (http://www.deniedmywarranty.org) http://www.northursalia.com/hosting/bratthumb.jpg (http://brat.northursalia.com) turner 03-08-2007, 09:01 PM Does cold air return if you shut down the AC for a while? There was an evaporator core freezing issue because of the sensor needing to be replaced or repositioned. But this was with the MY02's... -- t Mulder 03-08-2007, 10:04 PM Does cold air return if you shut down the AC for a while?

So-CaliWRX 03-09-2007, 01:26 AM Making an appointment tomorrow to get this fixed now that it is strating to get hot. I checked the hoses but couldnt find anything. What i want to know is I have a TBE, COBB AP, and a boost gauge mounted in my left driver side air vent. They should still warranty the problem right?? Mulder 03-09-2007, 08:02 AM Your mods should not affect the warranty as long as you haven't touched the AC system. You don't mention having an aftermarket TMIC, sometimes those will rub on the AC lines and cause a leak.

I don't hear the usual "click" when i press the button... Mulder 03-09-2007, 08:34 PM Mine stopped working too... :( Except i've got 109k miles on the car.

Probably a loss of refrigerant, when it gets below a certain point the low pressure cutout activates to protect the compressor so you won't hear anything happen when you press the AC switch. |
