hello all, my a/c is not blowing cold air . i had just recharged it and now it seems that the a/c clutch is not engaging when i turn on my a/c. also seem that i have developed a coolant leak on the water pump side of the engine and think that pump might be starting to go out. i will try to post pictures of where the coolant pools in the engine bay.i appreciate any input

 

I had a/c go out on my 2005 x-type at about the same milage. had the compressor replaced and installed for around $900 USD.Model issed I guess?

 

I did another A/c recharge and found that the coolant leak was due to my water pump starting to go bad. i found a new water pump on ebay for $25.00. I also decided to replace the belt while i was at it and bought a Gates serpintine belt on amazon for 10.18.I also decided to replace both throttle body collant hoses(amazon 32.50) since they were starting to swell and had it all installed for 100.00. My Car is running great and my A/C seems to be working for now. total spent $167.68usd

 

That is really fantastic results! You can't beat the cost but I also recognize you put in a lot of labor also. Cheers!

 

the only labor i did myself was charge the a/c, since i work at a body shop and we have the machine. and diagnose the leak from the water pump. i had a local mechanic i send alot of work to install all the parts for me.
