Car air-con

[Discoburg]

Will visit Kim the following week after my osaka trip. Thanks for the recommendation. 

I go to Kim Aircon at Ubi bro.

 

He managed to solve all of my aircon issue.

The last time my aircon leaked, the compressor is somewhat affected due to lack of refrigerant/lubricant. After repair cannot get the same level of cooling as before..

[Cypher]

Maybe it's because there's still not enough gas in the AC systeam. Have you got it checked?

AC system was serviced correctly. It was probably due to the compressor running with low refrigerant/lubricant affecting the bearing inside.

 

My advise is if there's any leak suspected, switch off the AC. It might minimise causing further damage.

 

On a side note, if the refrigerant was leaking from the evaporator, do try to clean the interior windows.

 

I forgot to do that and few months later my rear solar film became blurred/crumpled, though it might be unrelated.

Air condition system is a closed system and if there are no problems, coolant is not consumed by the vehicle. Unless your auto's AC is in need of repair, there is no need to "top off" the system. If the air conditioning stops working but the fan continues to blow warm air, a leak in a hose or connector or other part of the system. 

Nowadays vehicles are designed to shut down once the refrigerant level drops to a certain level in order to prevent serious damage to the air-conditioning compressor. So concern you need to repair or refill then have to find the exact place to repair as soon as possible by specialist.

$5xx, if evaporator can swallow cause need to remove dashboard but condenser....

$3xx is more palatable after include labour and top up gas/oil.

Sorry once again.

 

I won't recommend to anyone liao. 

 

When the aircon was down, I went to Tomika and without checking anything just tell me to do aircon flushing with the machine.

 

After that I went to Kim and the boss himself took the trouble to check and pinpoint the problem. He said machine aircon flushing is not necessary. 

 

So anyone if ever want a aircon shop, can give New Luck recommended by bro kb27 next time.
