AC Cold Air - Compressor
Mileage - 162000
AC wasn't blowing cold air at low RPMs. I got the AC Pro (this was all about 3-4 days ago) & tried to refill the Freeon. Initially, it showed it all empty & after i filled it now acts weird.
Especially during noon (when its hot), the AC works intermittently. Especially at low RPMs It blows cold air & for some time it stops blowing cold air (blows normal temp air).
One weird thing i noticed is that car is now behaving like a new born, peeing everywhere. After every drive (short or long), i see water under the car. I know the AC does release water, but this looks more.
Are these a big concern ?
Can i ignore & will that hurt or worsen the situation ?
I recently spent a $$$$$$ on Headgasket, Waterpump, Timing Belt, Radiator, etc - all at the shop
(Not so smart to do it myself).

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

These small capacity AC systems are very unforgiving, very little room for error. Charge amounts have to be pretty exact.
A full set of gauges could tell you more about what's going on inside it if you know what you are doing.

Any AC system has to remove humidity from the air.
That's what you see peeing on the ground.

Don't mess with filling the AC unless you know what you are doing. I slightly overfilled mine and it was a $750 repair for a replacement system when the compressor seized.
