Re: 1996 Alfa 164 Super 24V - A/C Gas Type ?!

Good morning,

I just came back after a good run on the 164 and Noted the following;

With the engine cold the A/C was working fine,
When the temp reached 90C the A/C was still working fine,
Set to HI and changed temp and back to A/C, still working fine.

Went to the A/C guy but had a garage full of cars and said to come back later.

Went back in the car, and turned on the A/C .. the Air stopped being as cool and the temp was now at 70C. I rove it for about 20 Miles and did some errands, came back home. A/C was almost dead blowing only air just a little bit cool.

I checked the pipes, Ones were freezing, the other where hot. I checked the drier/filter and it was warm. Checked the spyglass on the filter and saw liquid moving at a very fast pace. I sat in the car and nothing, just a little bit of cool air.

The filter Drier is still stock as is the evaporator valve, however I am certain that when he recharded the system he left the filter open to the atmosphere overnight. Could that be the problem as I am running out of ideas, oh and I checked the gas pressure, its ok so ?????
