About the Chevrolet Cavalier A/C Compressor
The AC compressor is the heart of your vehicle's air conditioning system, responsible for compressing refrigerant and circulating it through the AC system. When the AC compressor fails, you'll experience no cold air, strange noises when the AC is engaged, or the AC clutch not engaging. A seized compressor can also damage other AC components with metal debris.
Signs of Failure
Know when your Cavalier a/c compressor needs replacement:
- No cold air from AC
- AC blows warm or lukewarm air
- Loud noise when AC is turned on
- AC clutch not engaging
- Squealing or grinding from AC compressor
- AC cycles on and off rapidly
- Refrigerant leak at compressor
- Burning smell when AC runs
Replacement Info
AC compressor replacement is a moderately complex job that requires recovering and recharging the refrigerant, which must be done by a certified technician with proper equipment. The job typically involves replacing the receiver/drier or accumulator, flushing the AC system to remove debris, and adding fresh compressor oil. If the old compressor failed catastrophically, metal debris may have contaminated the entire system, requiring condenser replacement as well. Labor time is typically 2-4 hours plus refrigerant service.
