This is an ecotec . I know it's supercharged but that doesn't matter

Close up it looks like this

On the front of the pulley is a clutch ...
When ac is off the clutch isn't engaged and doesn't spin
When you turn ac on it will click in and spin with the pulley

Turn car on
Turn ac on
Does clutch engage and is it spinning?
If you can't tell keep watch and Get someone to turn ac on and off

If ac is on and clutch engages but you have no cold air ... chances are gas leak

If ac is on and clutch does not engage ... chances are it is out on low pressure and has a gas leak

Hope this helps

VY Ute
Found out its the A/C condenser, mechanic quoted me $520... so I'll just do it myself.

Usually costs for a vy ute? & are they hard to fit?
