Weldone sir, messaged you on WhatsApp yesterday, I ll do anything to make my car AC work fine even if I have to refill every 3 months, its still OK by me.
I have spent too much nd its beginning to affect my savings, im sad and confused, if I have the cash, I'll dump this golf 4 nd get a new car, my AC is the only problem, it chills very well wen I refill nd I just love d car and cruise around but after a week or 2 weeks max, it starts blowing hot air, I have changed hose, did so many tins, still same problem, recently, the compressor started giving one funny, annoying noise when its engaged, one AC guy told me Drier needs to be replaced, expansion valve too nd den I took it to anoda one, he said my compressor is gone, I need a replacement, I am ready to buy anything to make this thing serve me well, I hate dust and heat, but I don't trust these guys in Ife, I just want u to help me out. I am frustrated, dere was a day my car almost caught fire cos of bad wiring, the small fan I installed b4 gets stucked at tyms, I had to get a new one dt now runs well.
There is gas in it now but its not even cooling again nd d compressor still rolls but give ds annoying noise, I get forced most tyms to switch it off.

SAME ISSUE WITH MINE..PEOPLE AT THE BACK COMPLAIN ALOT THAT THE AC DOES NOT REACH THEM
2000 CAMRY

GAZZUZZ:


The camry 2000 does not come with a cabin filter.

steveyen:
I discovered my AC is now blowing just hot air. The ac guy that wanted to work on it said no gas in the system.

I later bought gas and I took to another ac guy for recharging. The guy b4 starting the work said the compressor is not picking and that it will need rewire to make it pick up b4 recharging. He later did somethings around the compressor here under the bonnet before he start charging. But when he finished charging the ac was not working cooling well. Even when the ac control was set to 18 deg c the lowest no much cooling experience.

Wonder what went wrong. The car is a Maxima 04

emmaak2:



so no where chill air from the ac can circulate at the back

GAZZUZZ:


Replace expansion valve, condenser/drier, compressor. Flush system. Ensure all these are done by a professional.

EllisAde:
My ac hardly get cold these days even now that the westher is clement. They have asked me to refill but i dont want to take chances. Pls i need your professional touch. I use a corolla and reside in mushin, lagos.

Bros Gazz,
My AC tires me,initially D guy said no gas, we filled, it lasted 2weeks. Now he said bad drier again.
A pipe sweats in D engine while D car is hot. Is true its drier? And how do I enjoy it again
Thks

GAZZUZZ:




leaks are very evident in both queries, they are easy to to spot using proper equipment.

UV dye: this is a leak detection method that involves the use of a dye that glows under UV light.
Electronic sniffers: this equipment beeps when it detects refrigerant leaks, it has almost same principle with the metal detector.

Sectional Vacuuming: Vacuuming the system, and blocking off certain parts a bit at a time, can help rule out leaks it is a very efficient method.

Oil stains: Oil stains on joints and faulty parts, are a tell tale sign of refrigerant leaks. But not very efficient, as there can be Leaks without oil stains

Detergent bubbles: the application of bubbles over leaking pipes and joints will cause the bubbles to become larger or detergent to cause bubbles, thereby revealing leaks. Not a very efficient method because parts like the compressor shaft seal and other hidden parts cannot be tested with this method.

pekk:


Ok.thanks. but is there a way I can check if D drier is ok, while I ask D guy to check for leakages.
All the same thanks again

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!!!

teesoft02:
Please GAZZUZZ where can I get a trusted brand new automatic compressor?

teesoft02:
Wow that's a lot of money to spend on just A/c especially on a car that I will eventually sell and upgrade in another month or 2.... PLEASE what are the unconventional ways of keeping the idle steady when the a.c is on

SonofHim:
Hi Gazzuzz. My mechanic advised me to use a new Peugeot a/c compressor to replace my bad a/c compressor (highlander 2001). His reason is that the its more reliable than the highlander's compressor in the market. Pls what's your take. Thanks for your prompt response.

GAZZUZZ:


The 01 highlander is same compressor till 05. The compressor is available in the market, please Use same part replaced, do not modify.

austin4real:
Hi. Gazzuzz, I took my niss primera P11-144 to an ac technician recently who diagnozed that my ac compressor is running on low pump, hence the compressor and drier has to be replaced. He told me the compressor that came with the vehicle is automatic and advised I changed to manual type which he said lasts longer and is much colder. Please I wanna ask how true this claim is and is there anything like manual compressor...

flyboi1:
hi Gazzuz, thanks for the amazing work.

please my ac only cools when the accelerator is depressed. but when idle or in traffic, it doesnt really cool. please what can be the problem.
