My AC was refurbed by the PO before I bought it to the tune of 1900, new compressor, new lines, new dryer. 6 months ago I noticed that canister where the low side service port is condensates alot, to the point I notice it dripping. Why is it doing this? I have Manifold Gauges but was looking for any ideas
AC low side condensation

It is normal!

I thought it was normal for the condesner but for the low side pipe itself? I guess its just becuase when you leave the car on auto the ac is almost always on so I notice it more then on any other car I owned

This time of year in SacTown you should start using the ECON setting instead of the AUTO setting. If you're in AUTO and your setting is higher than the ambient (outdoor) temp then the AC system will start freezing.

Completely untrue if your HVAC system is operating correctly!goody94q45 wrote:This time of year in SacTown you should start using the ECON setting instead of the AUTO setting. If you're in AUTO and your setting is higher than the ambient (outdoor) temp then the AC system will start freezing.
