Chevy Malibu Air Conditioning Problems
Chevy Malibu Air Conditioning Problems



From time to time an easy fix starts with a basic flashlight visual of the ac wiring. Try not to reinvent the wheel with the deep testing right away.

If you have ruled out that the ac system is NOT low of refrigerant or has any freon leaks , then it is time to visually check all the connectors and wiring throughout the system.

In this case of warmer air from ac vents, we quickly identified that the ac compressor was not receiving voltage. You can easily go right to the area of the relays and want to ensure that the AC relay is clicking. An easy sway of a known good relay (headlight in this case), my remedy the problem quick like. If you have swapped a known good relay, and it resolves the symptom….you are in business easy-peasy. (just make certain you do not swap a relay that is pertinent to the start and drive ability of vehicle..i.e fuel pump etc.)

Our AC relay here with Malibu was good to go. We certainly had other voltage concerns. Now a voltmeter and flow chart is helpful for sure, however….go right to the engine bay and do a visual of connectors and wiring to the ac circuit.

Look at specifically the area of the oil filter adapter ,as we had in this case a separated wire to the ac compressor from elsewhere oil leak repair. This repair did not take lone, and was a total win to the client, as it was an inexpensive fix. We hope the same for you guys !!

How to: Replace Ford engine mounts (Duratec, Mondeo)
How to: Replace Ford engine mounts (Duratec, Mondeo)



Easy DIY guide: Renew the main upper engine mounts for a Ford Duratec. Featured is a Mondeo Mk3; the parts and process are similar for all Duratec installs such as in a Focus, same for Mazda MZRs, and indeed most engine mounts in any car.

The RH (engine) side mount on the Duratec featured is a hydraulic dampening mount, which fail when the rubber perishes and cracks or is damaged allowing the fluid the drain out. In this case my vibration problem was a product of this mount failing (lifetime approx. 12 years and 120,000 km).

See also this video on replacing the lower transmission mount (torque restrictor): https://youtu.be/H2P74cIvlmg

Required:
* 10 mm socket with 1/4″ or 3/8″ ratchet handle (coolant expansion tank)
* 1/2″ breaker bar, decent length extension bar, and deep socket sizes 15 mm, 18 mm, and 21 mm
* 1/2″ Torque wrench (ideally). Nb. I torque the bolts by estimating force applied to a known breaker bar length.
* New engine mounts to suit engine and fitting. You would ideally replace in pairs even though only one typically fails at a time.
Nb. the examples featured may be of identical design geometry for your case, but can vary (particularly the LH side) in rubber compound for engine weight/power. Ford use a color label to identify rubber compounds (you can see the LH mount is marked brown), while the alloy castings of the mount bodies themselves do not differ – so take care to ensure your replacement mount matches the old one.
* Flat bladed screwdriver to remove air intake hose clamp, and long nose pliers to redo.
Generally:
* Medium strength threadlocker (e.g. Loctite 243 [blue]). Amazon US: http://amzn.to/2DN3Upv | UK: http://amzn.to/2mTuVAv
* Marker pen
* Maybe: hot air gun & penetrating oil
* Optional: anti-seize (*not* for use on engine mount bolt/nut threads). Amazon US: http://amzn.to/2rlBU9Z | UK: http://amzn.to/2Beksni
* Scissor jack and block of wood, or other reliable engine lifting method
* Jack and axle stands, or other suitable and safe way to lift car.
