zamo Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Car still has 3 months to go for warranty. Symptoms that started occurring in the last couple of weeks: 1. A/C will blow cold air for 10 seconds then standard "fan" air for 10 seconds. It will loop indefinitely. 2. Compressor will stay on at all times. 3. I would hear water going from left to right occasionally behind the dashboard. Going to the dealer tomorrow, however I do not want to be scammed by a service that is not covered under warranty. Would like to have some feedback on possible issues with the A/C system Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Water behind the dash is a air bubble in the cooling system. Jack up the right front corner of the car, remove the radiator cap from the tank by the turbo and squeeze the hoses to burp the system. That tank should be full of coolant. I just topped off my coolant tank with Peak Global ($14.00 @ Kmart) anti-freeze when I installed the engine 2 weeks ago. I filled it up with some old Peak coolant and some old Prestone I had left over from other jobs. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

zamo Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Thanks for the information. I will sync up with the service manager. The A/C problem is a bad compressor. It is getting replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clutch Powers Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Had this problem and it was a bad relay in the fuse box under the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
