Water leaks passenger side DTS 2008? a/c system blows warm air at idle and makes gargling sounds from a/c attempts to get cool but goes warm?

I checked R-134a - with clutch stopped the psi reads 50-55psi - when clutch on the compressor engages and the reading holds at 40-45psi. a/c runs for 30 seconds durations and shuts off starts running again and shuts off.

SOURCE: Air Conditioning

Try changing the lower temp sensor in the air duct on the drivers side. I bought one and never replaced it. before the part arrived I took the lower sensor out and taped it up and put it back under the dash... not in the air duct housing were it belongs. believe it or not it works so well I did not even see a need to change the thing.

SOURCE: Air conditioning won't engage

To reset your AC compressor, you need to remove power for at least 15 minutes. After you reconnect, the compressor should turn on. If it does, immediately turn to high and try to add refrigerant. Best of luck.

SOURCE: My car is leaking coolant.

my 2001 catera just had the same problem i had the crank sensor replaced car wont die so far no problems starting but it has a antifreeze leak in the bottom seal of the engine. I have heard this is due to the dexcool that the manufacture decided was better than reg antifreeze and the repair bill for the labor is crazy still havent changed the bottom seal yet

This problem is a low freon charge in the system. ... But a system that is 1/2 pound low will cause the passenger side vents to blow cool or cold air, and the drivers side to be less cool or even warm on this car. There is simply not enough freon capacity in the system to cool the air to the drivers side. https://www.justautorepair.com/buick/century/cool-passenger-warm-driver

2008 impala only gets warm air blowing when driving ,also can hear bubbling from passenger side near firewall

It could be your heater core or check your over flow tank for the radiator to see if it is your antifreeze is up to the line marked on the side of tank and check the over flow hose, make sure the clamps are tight.

03 impala 3800 heat goes cold when just sitting at idle. Only get luke warm if u stomp the gas. Water pump or air in the lines? Also leaking a little bit of fluid on driver side.front by radiator? What...

The cooling system could be low on fluid, and you could have air in the system. That is the most common reason for no heat at idle.
The leak could be a hose or a pin hole in the radiator.

Air conditioner stopped blowing cool air. Added freon. Worked well for a few days. Now only blows cool air on passenger side.

Chances are you have a pretty fast freon leak, and the passenger side will be blowing warm within a few days. I have the same thing happen on a couple of my GM cars, except my leak is very slow; warm driver's side, cold passenger side.

You can try and top off the freon again, but I suspect you're going to have to take it to a shop to find the leak and get it fixed. Plan on spending some big dollars for the repair.

Good Luck.

Why does my 2004 avalanche not heat up when i am

Check the coolant level. in the winter time It will not over heat very easily but vapor locks can occur and low coolant level will do what your describing ...When you drive the water pump is spinning faster causing coolant to intermittently flow through the heater core so it gets warm then cold at an idle.. also a thermostat that is stuck open will also cause this its also in the cooling system, if the cooling system is full I would replace the thermostat..good luck hope this helps

Driver's side air blowing warm, won't change

Sounds like there is a crack in the vent that leads to the drivers side, and hot air from the engine is leaking through.
