Ok not sure where to post this but I'll try it here.
Got this old 98 savana last summer and the AC was not working. I've been educating myself as best I can on youtube and tried changing out a leaking compressor. I got it all changed, added the recommended amount of oil to the compressor, pulled a vacuum on the system and refilled with the recommended amount of R134A. Miracle of miracles I'm getting cold air out of my vents now... and after a few minutes the whole cab is cool!
BUT...
When I turn off the engine I hear a hissing sound near the dryer that sounds like it may be coming from the evaporator. I put the gauges back on the system and what I notice happening is a equalization in pressure between low side and the high side. Is this what is supposed to happen? Maybe? This is the sound I'm hearing. Listen yourself here it dissipates after a few seconds.
Is this normal?
Thanks in advance if anyone has an idea what this is.
