The other two compressors are leaking by sensor. Altogether they had three bad A/C compressors. I have been to shops, and they do not know what it is and are blaming the compressor (after market). Can anyone give me suggestions please? Or an A/C specialist in the area of Passaic county (NJ).

Hello,

You need to stay with the name brand compressors or the guys installing the compressor are doing something wrong. Here is a guide that has a video that will show the job being done right:

and here is how it needs to be charged up.

Here is a diagram on how to do it in your car (below).

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
