Re: 2015 Explorer won't take full charge
Yes U.S. but that chart is for trucks with rear A/C which this doesn't have.

Re: 2015 Explorer won't take full charge
Added 10 more ounces to the 13 oz added before but compressor is cycling. 95 degrees now and high side going up to 430 psi at which point compressor disengages until it drops to about 300 psi. Low side seems excessive at 60 70 psi. Seems like low airflow through the condenser but the fans kick on hi...

Re: 2015 Explorer won't take full charge
It took 16 oz and wouldn't take any more, and the compressor was engaged. I waited a few more minutes and the tank scale dropped to 13 oz. at which point I stopped. Air was cold then, but when I went for a drive, the air is blowing warmer than before I started. I'll get the gauges back on and see wh...

2015 Explorer won't take full charge
I vacuumed the system for 2 hours, then charged from a half full tank. Takes 26 oz but could only get 16 oz in and air is nice and cold. Low side around 35 or 40, high maybe 220 if I recall and it's 85-90 degrees out. Tank scale started going down and high side was at 300 when the high speed fans ki...

Re: Options to fix this compressor, 2001 Honda Insight?
I bought the car to sell so spending that much for a new one if this one turns out bad, would be a last resort. Got the compressor off my parts car. Clutch works fine. Will swap it out tonight. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/d106/atikovi/IMG_5651.JPG?width=960&height=720&fit=bounds

Options to fix this compressor, 2001 Honda Insight?
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/d106/atikovi/IMG_5650.JPG?width=960&height=720&fit=bounds Already got the remains of the field coil off. Compressor shaft turns fine and there appears to be a full charge in the system with no signs of leaks. I don't see a clutch assembly sold for this...

Re: Why hasn't R1234YF dropped in price much in the last few years?
I'd think body shops get in plenty of cars so equipped by now. I think some Cadillacs and Chryslers started using it in 2013.

Why hasn't R1234YF dropped in price much in the last few years?
Luckily I haven't had a car that needed it yet, but sooner than later it's inevitable. It's been out probably 8 years now and still costs nearly $60 a pound while I paid less than $3 per pound for 134a last year by the drum.
