This is the gauge reading from the NON-OE condenser on a 62F day in San Francisco with the fog starting to roll in. 29.6 on the low side and 193.2 on the high side way to high. If it was 95F out side I would expect to see this. Is the price of a compressor later worth it???... If we put parts like this on airplanes guess what we all would be seen every day as common place instead of reining cats and dogs ???.

Reedja42We have been trained over the years to always look for the "great deals". Sometimes though, you get what you pay for. I don't think I would trust just anyone working on a car as sophisticated as a Prius.

trsevenI'm now thinking this is also my problem. Bought a 2004 from an insurance auction. Took a deer to the hood. Bought an aftermarket condenser. Did all the repair work before swapping in the new condenser. Now when its on Max both low and high side pressures are up to high. Found that if I tend the temp and keep the fan speed medium or just one above it does cool good and the pressures are in range. Takes longer to cool the car but its been effective even on 104 degree day. Need to buy a oe condeser to fix it. Will just have to suck it up and buy one. Thanks for all the great info you've been posting here!
