My 2010 Aveo5 AC project

[wylee]

Any updates ?

Yep. I got it fixed under warranty a few days after my last post and have been enjoying the AC the last few days now that summer has finally arrived.

I had intended to post pics but my camera battery died when I was doing the work under the hood.

Install cliff notes:
Disconnect the temp control cable down at the heater box and remove it with the HVAC controls.

The air box, right headlight, and right inner fender must come out.

I removed the filler panel above the grill to better see the condenser connections. may not be necessary but I think it was worth it.

The power steering belt does not have an adjustment; the belt needs to be worked off as you turn the pulley. It takes a 3/8" (I think) hex key / allen wrench to turn it.

The main belt adjuster is released with a 12 point (17mm I think) socket. The only way I could get to it was from the bottom.
