So my 2016 chevy cruze 1.4 ac started blowing hot air , noticed the clutch isn't engaging when ac is turned on, I did a wire check with the fuse clutch it turned back on, eith ac running cold thought it was fixed so left it ,next day working fine then suddenly turns hot again . Should I replace the whole compressor?? I even checked fuses again ..

Its not uncommon for an R-134 system to lose pressure over time. Check all your connections for evidence of leaks, the fitting will be slightly oily with surface dirt trapped with the oil.

I keep 1 of those quick fills at home to at least check 1 of the pressures to see if my system is low but if that checks out then I will take it in to a shop.

I can do quite a bit under the hood myself but admit that I don't have the full knowledge of the AC systems and willingly pay for help in that area. A system check and refill only runs $70 - $100 in my area depending on the shop so its just not worth it to me to buy gauges.
