where did you do it then? do they do servicing as well?
My air con blow hot air and after check up with replacement of air con discharge hose of $120 and additional $45 for Labour and recharge aircon cost. Altogether $165. Is it reasonable for a Mitsubishi Lancer 7 years old, think.is glx model.
which workshop is this? if you are talking about the aircon drain hose, that one has never cause hot air problem as far as I know because it is used to drain away condensation.
Hmm. Think you have a point. Do you think the hose cost $120? And can be the cause of hot air?huh? how can you view leaks by using a normal torch? the dye will only be visible under UV light.... anyway the machine i guess is to recover the r134a and vacuum the excessive vapour and air inside the system...
dont be mistaken people. there are 2 main hoses in the AC system in a car.. one is the high pressure pipe and the other low pressure pipe... anyway there are many causes behind AC blowing out hot air. things like the receiver/drier and TXV could be a cause too. please do not narrow it to leaks and compressor. anyway most of the R134a in singapore, when topped up to the AC system in the vehicle, has a green dye to go along. just use ultra violet light and if there is leak it is very obvious
If the air con start off cold and then start blowing hot air during the drive, it is not likely to be leak.
Most likely the aircon magnetic clutch problem. This problem is usually far more common than actual leak or compressor spoil.
yeah this magnetic clutch thing happens to me 2 months back... was driving in to JB during the haze period and it just happens. luckily managed to fix it in a ws in JB.
