contrary to mayors opinion, your vehicle is equipped with a variable displacement compressor, when it begins to fail it displays same symptoms you just described.

Hello Gazzuzz, kudos for the good job here.
I have issues with my AC... Blowing hot air.
Vehicle was withdrawn from the driver (Uber, careless and a story teller) sometime last month. He had issues with the AC and he said he fixed it at ikeja (after driving on Uber and taxify with defective AC and getting suspended). I believe he refilled the gas.
Barely a week later the AC was blowing hot again. Took it to a guy at gbagada who said there was a leak (no leak test done) and that the condenser was bad and needs changing. As a stop-gap he refilled gas and oil with assurances that it'll take me for the next 3 months when I'll be ready for the major fix... AC was chilling after this.
Fast forward a little over 2 weeks after we're back to square one. Abeg wetin make we do. Car is a Corolla 06 bought tokunbo around this time last year.

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Gazzuzz, my 2012 toyota highlander started having ac issues some weeks back. The vents at the back of the vehicle were releasing hot air, later it moves to the drivers side which was realising warm air. We called a mechanic who said it was low on gas and refilled it , it seemed a bit better after then till this week when the a.c. stopped working. It does not even not even blow any air at all. Pls help!

It is never a function of the battery.
Once your technician tells you the battery affects a/c performance, flee from the technician.

Check you IACV. Google IACV for 5s-FE or 1mz show pics to mechanic, have it serviced.

Dirty condenser

Faulty compressor

Ineffective cooling fan

Restriction in pipe work due to smaller passages caused by welding work.

Low refrigerant

replace compressor and condenser,
clean out the system properly, vacuum and install the right amount of refrigerant. You will be fine.

Good day Gazzuz. The AC of my golf 3 cools and stops at intervals. I found out that the compressor stops working when its not cooling. The compressor comes on after you rev the engine, and the AC begins cooling. This happens when I set the AC speed at speeds 1 and 2.
But whenever I set it at speed 3 and 4, it cools fine with the compressor always on.
What could be the issues with the system.

Re: Closed by Jafman: 7:19am On May 02, 2018
Please I need HELP. I have a VW passat 2.0 2008. Before changing the compressor, it works well when am travelling but misbehaves when I drive within town (sometimes it works, and sometimes it won't even pick at all). Refrigerant was in the AC system for about 3years and I never had cause to refill. An ac tech told me the compressor was bad and needed to be changed. I changed the compressor and it works fine but may biggest issue now is that refrigerant doesn't last up to a day in the system. All o rings have been refitted with this there blue gum.
My concern is that I never had a leak before changing the compressor. Please what can I do...it has become really frustrating.
Re: Closed by 20pence: 4:20pm On May 02, 2018
@ Gazzuzz, please is low idle rpm whenever AC is on normal on a 1998 Toyota Camry?

The car idles between 750 - 850 rpm when it is warm in Park (early morning start up). However, while driving with AC on and I come to a stop at a traffic light, the idle rpm drops to between 550 - 600.

Also, while monitoring the rpm, I observed that when I put on the AC with the vehicle in Park position, the rpm rises to 1000 rpm before dropping to around 700 - 750 rpm after about 15 - 30 seconds. The AC still cools.
