Thread: A/C drier

Plan on updating my car this summer a lil I've never changed the AC drier... Would it not be a bad idea to go ahead and get a new one..??? It's 2000.

I have a small leak somewhere I'm pretty sure is the compressor clutch... Last summer My buddy charged it up and end up putting in one small can like a month or so later.... We had a really hot summer so it got used ALOT
its dry right now ac won't kick on

Wait I did at two cans to it last year cause of it being so hot... It had to be pretty filled to blow out "cold cold" on those 95* + days!! But after 10-15 min of driving it was cool in the car

I thought about buying a new compressor but I've heard the off brand ones don't put out very cold air... I dont want to spend $200 for an AC Delco..
