The short answer is yes, I believe I have a long answer to this. While searching for Quick Tips #8 - Ford Five Hundred air conditioner problem, I discovered they met the criteria. Watch this video and make sure the people doing your work do the same You can go "tech choice parts" and check to see if you can find the part there, and they have it, too. I bought it on Amazon (which said it was the wrong part, but it wasn't) and this was the part I needed. Basically, I am so happy that I did not have to pay $1000+ for my air conditioning. I paid my mechanic $146 for the part I supplied and now I have it.
It was easy to install and worked really well on my 2006 Ford Five hundred.

He had no cold air in his car, but he had cool air There is an airy feel to it. In the long run, the car had less cool air the more you ran it. In my situation, I was told I needed a new compressor, but I did a little searching and found a video of someone fixing this problem in their Personalized my search by showing me where the part was, how to remove it, and where to get it. It made sure the part was compatible with my son's car when I looked up the part. The installation took less than five minutes. After we got it, we removed the old one and replaced it with the new We turned on the car and tested it once it was in place. Although it has been months, the cold air still comes out of it. There have been times when I have had to turn the vents away from me because I get The part you are looking for is absolutely necessary if you are experiencing the same issue. A lot more affordable than buying a new compressor, since one was not needed anyway.
It seems my 2005 Mercury Montego is having trouble At idle or while in use, the air conditioner does not work Getting from point A to point B. I found it to work OK at highway speeds, but not particularly well. A scroll valve replacement was the recommended fix for this problem. After researching this issue, I found this. In the end, I had a favorite repair shop install the valve for me after I purchased it on Amazon and evacuated the system, installed the valve, and charged the I had no problems with the air conditioning. As I left the shop, it was cold before I could even get the car into drive. It would not be possible for me not to be happy.
The air conditioner stopped working slowly in my 07 Freestyle. It worked for a while, but then the problem came back even after the system had been flushed and refilled. Reading online and finding that this is such a common problem, I ordered this valve (instead of listening to the techs who said that the compressor should be replaced). It took me about 10 minutes to replace this vacuum system in their parking lot because I had a local shop remove the system. We have had perfect service for the last few months since they refilled the system!.
As a result of reading the stories left by others, I replaced the control valve first. It worked just fine! A piece of debris lodged behind the control valve caused it to not be able to push all the way back against the cover plate, which was probably the main problem. As soon as I was in there, I noticed it would be perfectly sensible to replace the valve. As a result, my A/C pressures are textbook perfect, and even at idle, I get very cold air from the ducts.
1 lb of 134a and 1/2 hour of labor. Five days later and it is still blowing cool at stoplights I had this same issue 7 years ago. I took the car to Ford only because I was told it was just over the warranty by 4 miles, so I hoped they would be able to The company told me I would have to pay the following costs because I was out of warranty. During the week of July 18-21, the AC compressors were replaced. 1 472 dollars. Keeping a spreadsheet on vehicle maintenance and using the Cost per mile rate, I keep a record of fleet maintenance and repairs.
I really needed this for my air conditioning system. Chances are you will need this if you have an ac that only works at speeds over 1200 rpm. I was able to install it fairly easily. Once the job is finished, remember to put a can of compressor oil into the air conditioner.
The problem I had with my air conditioner not working when you slow down or stop was solved via Google search. A VALVE was needed, so I went to get it. IT IS LIKE I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR IN IT AFTER TAKING IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HAVING IT INSTALLED.
It was installed for $80 by my mechanic and in less than a minute my car was ice-cold.
