Aircon repair workshop

[LouisSaha]

sometimes could be compressor issue....

Gas should not run out as ac system is a closed system. Leakage somewhere probably.

Hopefully refill the gas would do. Leak quite hard to trace also....

Any ppl got such issue before? aircon is not cold but blow air/room temperature at passenger side, gas running out? Driver side cold upon turning on the AC.

Cooler Coil up lorry ...

Went down. Top up gas, replace AC blower + replace AC cabin filter.
Now aircon super cold.

Went to Tomika, Markcool and Yigo, all asking me to replace compressor, rubber hoses, etc.
Don't really see they check at all. Just go by gut feeling by their so called experience.
Luckily I did not go with it and went for another workshop highly recommended at MCR forum.

My previous ride had air con issues twice in the course of 5 years plus.

1st time AD diagnosed as cooling coil faulty, hence replaced under warranty.
2nd time AD diagnosed as compressor faulty, need to replace. But no more warranty, so went to Ubi to replace with L and Khim Air Con.

Both times, the air con blew warm air into the car cabin. The worse was when it rained, and the cabin windows fogged up. Really KNN...

Maybe u can try recharge the coolant, cos driver side is cold but passenger side is not, high chance is the coolant was not charge properly

When your compressor faulty, does it blow warm and cold or just warm throughout?

It was warm throughout by the time the compressor kaput.

Before that, it was progressively getting warmer and warmer.

Good information. These may also cased weak air blow but aircon should be cold.
The only concern I would that is top up gas when is a closed system. Keep monitoring.
Enjoy the air con.

I top up gas because passenger side air is warm while the driver side is cold.
He mentioned the rubber tube is leaking.
My air-con blower also died.
So one shot replaced all these including cabin filter.

He told me my cooling oil & compressor still in good shape, other workshops said need to replace.
