About 20 min into my commute home the AC stops blowing cold.
What I have done/found so far;
The condenser/cooling radiator was completely plugged with debris. so bad you could not see a light on the other side for 70% of the radiator. Condenser was not as bad but between them was enough debris to fill a #10 can.
Thanks to this site and "George built garage" on youtube mine are as clean as they can get!
Still have the Problem.
events in order as the AC quits;
1. the air starts to get warmer,
2. Service tools shows an alert; VCFront_a160_Compressor inhibited
Details show Low suction pressure fail
3. The condenser/radiator fan starts to slow down(its running hard @ this point in my garage)
If I turn off the AC for 5 min then turn it back on - it will be working again.
Made an appt with Tesla and based on remote Diags, they want 1500$ to replace the compressor and receiver dryer.
Does this sound like a solution based on my symptoms??
The appt is 25 days out (first available) and its hot here so I have some time to diy before that appt...
I have a set of AC gauges so I may hook them up and see what my pressures actually are?
FYI, I have the OBDii cable adapter on order so I can get more readings soon.
Thx in advance!!!
