Hello House!, I use a toyota 1998 orobo and filled the gas 3 days ago. I realise that my car does overheating when I drive on a small distance. My radiator water finishes quickly. Please what do I do?

coolant leak. Find leak.
Re: Closed by fabiomatic(m): 10:11am On Nov 07, 2016
Hi Gazzuzz, my car compressor leaks.. How do I go about it? And how much will it cost me to seal it. i have filled the gas twice now and it only worked for a few days... I drive Toyota Camry 2003, V6. LE. Please assist. Do you think the compressor is weak or sealing the leak would do.

i wish i could come to your office but as we all know time is a major constraint in Lagos. thanks.

Hi Gazzuz, I drive a Toyota Highlander 2005. I have two issues with my AC.
1. when the AC in my car is on I still perceive odours from outside even the vent is closed and air is recycled.

2. Anytime the AC is on in the mornings or evenings , it builds up a lot of mist on my windshield even when I reduce the tempreture. Also, there is button that allows one to direct the vent to the leg room but cold air does not come out.
I change my cabin filter anytime I do my oil change so it definitely not a case of filter. what can I do resolve this issue.

Direct me to a good Ac engineer in Enugu.

Under the dash, close to the evaporator, there are several motors motorized units designed for moving flaps, that change the direction and pattern of air flow. The motors could die out, nut since you habve more than one malfunctioning (recirculation/air direction) it's possible the a.c module is compromised. You should test the motorized units 1 at a time before coming to a conclusion

Fixing this issue will solve question 1&2 above

Compressors I stock are from complete engines I buy. Unless there is a job that requires I buy a compressor form the market, I will not be having that compressor till I replace an engine of similar make.

Gazzuzz, Thanks for all the help you have been rendering on this thread, I would appreciate if you could help with mine as well, I noticed in my car after sometime the passenger side AC gets cooler than the driver's side, I took it to a technician and was told it was low on refrigerant & he added some. After some time now, Now the problem I notice the AC doesn't get cold in Traffic, but when moving fast or at least moving a bit it gets cold, what could be the problem, please your help will be appreciated. It's a Toyota Highlander 2004, it's just 3 months, I didn't expect any problem so fast like this. Thanks

low refrigerant, and a failing compressor could cause the listed problems highlighted. It is also possible the leak could be from the compressor. You need to determine point of leak, very important.

Blinking is an error code, same as having a check engine light, there is a fault, but you will have to find it via proper diagnosis

leaks often occur at weak points. E.g, joints, seals, and O rings.

Condensers naturaly will not start leaking, unless they are poorly installed and rub off against the radiator or chassis, or if they are low quality condensers. I am yet to see a factory fitted condenser self leak.

Look for leaks at compressor area, joints on the high side, and when you start up your car, sniff the air for Gas (evaporator leak)

I presently do not know any A.C technician in abuja, But cardoctor is in abuja, and I'm sure he will reply you soon.

Hello Mr. Gazzuzz and the rest of the house, I need a good AC technician around to help me check out the AC on my Nissan pathfinder 05. I have two issues with my AC;
1. when the AC is on I still perceive odours from outside even the vent is closed and air is recycled.

I know you don't fix nissan, but please assist in any way you can. Thank you.

When you can perceive external odours when a.c is turned on and re circulation button a activated, problem most times, is the recirculation flap, did not receive the command, or received a partial command and is still slightly open. Recirculation flaps have evolved from cable operation, and nor work electronically. What you need to to in case 1. Is observe the motors on the evaporator area and find out if there is commensurate movement when the re-circulation button is activated. If none.


2. A.c cooling only when ambient temp is low. Classic sign of low refrigerant, guessing is not my thing, so I will hope you find that Nissan a.c technician to fix this up for you.

Good luck

Find leak solve problem. Return your thermostat back, your engine naturally loves sludge, it's presently dying slowly

Burnt clutch coil, possibly burnt fuse.

Start with proper diagnosis of why the clutch failed.

My car ac blows very cold but there's a little problem. The back seat Ac blows only from the top which is on the b pillar, but it doesn't blow from beneath the seats. What could be the cause? Can someone help me?
