How long do VANOS systems last?



The dryer sock will be replaced. A can of A/C flush will clean the lines and condenser. My big air compressor will flush it and dry it.

Don't forget to put it under vacuum... Don't ask how I know that too...

I've only paid twice for A/C work. First time, my '91 Dakota compressor failed a few years after arriving in Austin. Second time, I was traveling through South Dakota heading to the Black Hills and Mt Rushmore. The '08 Nitro compressor couldn't handle driving 80 MPH. I was not driving. A dear friend that passed four years ago taught me A/C repair and work. I've done my own ever since. All of them are ice cold. While visiting my folk this week, I did some A/C work too! Farm life starts early!

Does anyone have the pressure sensor and drier sock torque specs? FCP parts should all arrive by Saturday. I'll refresh the A/C system next week. It was almost a full year since having do to major failed maintenance. I say that's a "+".

Final confirmation. The clutch is toast. A Power Probe IV was used to power the clutch. A new compressor and other parts should arrive tomorrow.

Mostly easy day ahead, unless some screwy bolt issue pops up...
