I have a 2001 TA and am having problems with my AC ( i live in FL and this SUCKS). The air blows, the compressor engages and the clutch engages, theres plenty of freon (and no leaks). What could be the problem? I have heard something about a pressure switch that could be bad?
Check the AC belt.....it could be worn & not turning the compressor under load
Yeah, The belt looks fineQuote:

We put dye in and couldnt see a leak anywhere. also put in leak stop just in case and added 134a. If the car is warm or cold it still blows the same.Quote:

Not sure about blockage, but about a week ago, the compressor started making some BAD noises. I thought the clutch was locking up because it only made these noises when the AC was on. Now the noises are gone as well as the cold AC :( but the clutch is still engaging
Sounds like something in the compressor went south.Quote:

Good to hear :yup:
Would have helped us if you had mentioned the compressor noise in your first post though! ;)
