Hello, and thanks for your assistance in advance. I had to replace my condenser as it was leaking, and also replaced the compressor, high and low pressure switches, filter/drier, and expansion valve. After replacing, I vacuumed the system for 1 hour. Once vacummed, I added 8 oz of oil(from pressurized can) as per the rebuilder of my compressor. I then added alomost two cans of r12. The system seems to be cooling sufficiently, but at idol sometimes it starts to make one hell of a noise. It sounds like some kind of pressure noise, or like a train comming through. If you grab the lines you can feel the vibration when this occurs. Speeding up the engine and it appears to go away. Any suggestions?

Thanks Again

Hi:
Make sure all of the compressor bolts are tight. Also, make sure you correctly replaced all bushings.
