lomomike: abatically: These sum up why I started DIYing on my car. Some mechanics just feel wiser than learned design, automobile engineers etc. Nobody should listen to such, get to the root of the matter and get it solved. Simple! no funny join-join work |

thanks, I work around Allen Avenue ikeja , I will be glad sir I don't know much about Toyota's, but any mechanic should be able to reverse it. Just look for the fan switch that is disconnected, u will see a little wire used to bridge the connection. Remove the wire and connect the switch to its right place. Then replace thermostat. But ur ect sensor must be working for this to go well. A simple scan will detect if there's s problem with ect. Also it is adviced to use coolant in radiator instead of water. If u live around ikeja/ogba I can refer u to someone they would do this for u.[/quote] |

These same ladipo boys that wrecked my Accord 2010. In the name of fixing AC they knocked my engine. My car will never go 10 foot of that location. EVER! OBD scan plus internet diagnostics will save you a whole lot. I scan my car when it has an issue, do my research online and tell the mechanic what to do. If you no gree do am, close my bonnet for me. Its not by force 5 Likes |

I am at it again! The last time I had issue with my Toyota Camry 2008 XLE, their are different opinion of what really happen to the A/C, whether I should change the compressor to manual or maintain the follow come. After much deliberation, I finally replaced the compressor with the automatics compressor which i ordered from abroad. Now, after a year plus, the automatics compressor is bad again. My mechanics is advising me to change it to manual, but I am not too convinced with his opinion, Pls I need advice from the house from anyone with such experience. Its really hot hear in PH and honestly it been difficult driving the without AC. Thanks |

Ashiru: how did ur old compressor go bad?.. if it failed while in service..it usually produces small metal shavings/particles which continue to remain in the system. so once u have a failed compressor, u need to replace the condenser...no shortcuts..no blowing or trying to clean it. cos if u dont..when u install a new compressor, theose metal particles still in the system will come and spoil the new compressor, its a vicious cycle.change the condenser..n dryer! seems ur ac mech is hell bent on converting to manual, go far away from him...find another mechanic...chikena. some of them are quite heartless and will willfully make ur ac system to fail..especially if u didnt heed their advice...so they can tell u...I TOLD U SO, U NO HEAR |

Please I need help, my camry 2007 le compressor stopped working last month and decided to change it after couple of days when I couldnt deal either the heat around anymore. When I finally met with the guy I insisted on automatic compressor and he said no I should opt for manual compressor after going different places and hearing the same i finally settled for the manual because I couldn't afford to buy automatic for 85k (which by the way is how much it costs now at least in Ondo state) and then it get spoilt in a month or 2...wish i wasn't away from Lag at the moment... Now it's been almost 2 weeks since it was fixed and my car is rmp drops WAY below normal and sometimes it drops to a point where all electrical system restart even the dashboard lights, and the car vibrate like crazy, it has bad engine mount that I have been planning on changing before now, so you all can imagine how bad the vibration will be... this is scary for me and I don't turn on the a/c anymore... I just want to return the manual compressor and get am automatic and pray it don't end up faulty... the thing is I was told there is no where I can get a good guaranteed automatic compressor, which is why they all keep recommending manual... Now my question is anyone with success on getting a new automatic compressor that works just fine? Please I need help! I am tired of the car already with the crazy vibration PLEASE HELP!!! |

hi guys please am having issues with my A.C. the light just suddenly started blinking. if i put it on when the car is idle, it can stall to engine to stopping at times. when looking under the hood, i found out the compressor is seizing. hence as its trying to stall the system, the system disengages it. two mechanics say its a manual compressor. one said its a manual compressor with sensor that my car has (toyota camry 2009 xle v6). i find that hard to believe unless the compressor has been changed before. my OBD doesnt bring up any issues when i scan. both mechanics say the compressor is gone tho. that i have to change it, possibly the condenser, check for leaks, flush etc. i had changed the relay at first thinking that eas the issue but it didnt work. my question now is how do i know if the compressor in my car is manual or automatic |

Re: My Camry 2008 A/c by DAutoDiagnosis: 2:37pm On Mar 19, 2020 |
Bro I was in ur situation b4 Ladipo professors came to my rescue. What is wrong with your car is aa faulty AC compressor. I drive a camry 2007 SE. It has an automatic compressor which get faulty easily. It has an O2 sensor. I simply changed mine to a manual compressor and it blows ice cold! I cleaned out my condenser too. Itss fab. At a point I was scared. I bought the replica auto compressor and can u believe it spoilt aafter 10mins? So I decided to buy manual. Pls buy manual. It cost me 35k. Everytin sha I spent 45k. I am so happy with my muscle. The car only vibrates slightly when the compressor picks dats all. Now my babes are happy cos even though the lagos sun dey hammer, my interior is as cool as a freezer! Bawse!! You meant to say pressure sensor. Your babes, na dem go finish your moto Las las |
