Thanks for the reply! I will test if it’s only at idle! I’ve got a new DCCV valve!!

Confirm the old one is bad before replacement. It’s not the most fun job in the world, so I’d want to be positive it had failed first.

In the HVAC guide, there’s a link to tips by Gus for replacement. Notch the bracket as he has suggested to make installation much easier.

Thanks, yes I do. It’s in the middle of post #4. There’s even a link to a how-to in the X-Type forum (same basic compressor).

My AC problem IS rpm related. When standing still and car in P and I rev it to approx. 1500-2000rpm, the AC blows cold again!

Making progress! You’ve narrowed down when the fault occurs.

In my HVAC troubleshooting guide, first make sure the DCCV is behaving (post #2) and then proceed to post #4 for inadequate cooling. Please keep in mind there’s a good possibility of multiple faults, so don’t expect one magic fix. It may be several small things in play.

I’d suggest looking for a slipping clutch at the AC compressor. Details of how to check are in the guide.

Thanks for the reply!
No, the AC Clutch is not slipping I’ve checked it yesterday!

My mechanic (good friend of mine) said it’s not slipping. The AC was recharged approx. 7 months ago. I’m leaning toward low-gas in the system as everything else is fairy new. AC compressor 2 years, as well as the AC radiator, new DCCV, repaired module... The DCCV is behaving fine!

If the system was properly charged but is now low after only 7 months, it’s got a pretty good leak. I’d suggest a careful leak check of the entire system before starting the refill. Does your friend have a refrigerant sniffer? If you just refill the system without first identifying and repairing the leak, you’ll be in the same situation again 7 months from now.

I don’t mean this as beating up on you, but how does your friend know the clutch isn’t slipping? Is that just his hunch, or did he actually verify it with a jumper and paint marks? The root cause is probably a toss up between low refrigerant and a slipping clutch. But do you have to guess? Not really. It’s super easy to rule out the clutch for just a little bit of time and zero dollars.
