Default Warm Air A/C Problemo!

Hello all;

My 06 is not blowing cold air what so ever. I took it over to my local mechanic and he informed me that there is no pressure in the lines and that most likely the compressor is shot??? Could the compressor really be gone after only 5 years?

If someone else has any info that would be great since I do not really want to drop money for a new compressor if it's not the case.

Thanks!

If there is no pressure there is a leak and you have no R134. Your mechanic should pressurize the system with nitrogen to see where the leak is before coming to the conclusion that you need a compressor. I had a leak in my condensor from a clamp rubbing through it. Took 2 mins to find with soap and water and a bit of listening. You may want to find a different mechanic.
