2002 - 2005 GM AC Poor Performance Diagnostics ~ CVC6 Compressor Replacement (Cavalier & Sunfire)

Описание: In this video we go over the GM service manual root cause diagnosis for poor air conditioning (AC) performance in a GM J-body vehicle, resulting in the replacement of the orifice tube and compressor assembly. The vehicle shown is a 2004 Chevy Cavalier but the parts and procedure is common to all 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005 models years for the Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire. The OEM AC compressor design used by GM in these vehicles is the Delphi CVC6 style.
