Yes I guess it's called Virus and need total replacement of all the system including evaporator GAZZUZZ: |
Re: Closed by Emassive(m): 7:49am On Dec 02, 2016 |
I don't think it should cost that much. Buy a New one at Ladipo if you know someone there or contact me let me follow you to get a Good One anytime you are set. Teeboy06: |

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? It's a Volvo s80, 2000 |

Emassive: Blind fixing of air-conditioning will not help any one, but the part sellers. |

Hello all, My honda civic makes this funny sound once the ignition is turned, the mechanic tried to detect where the sound is coming from and after a while he said it was the ac compressor and i will have to change it, he said a new compressor will cost 20k. My question is, can ac compressor make funny noise even when the ac is not switched on. Two, if its possible , is there a way i can repair it or i must chNGE IT. Thank u |

@GAZZUZZ Pls I would like you to link me up with a very good car AC repairer in Abuja. ( if u know any). Thanks. |
Re: Closed by GAZZUZZ(m): 8:02am On Dec 03, 2016 |
rianah: compressor is not faulty, most likely the bearing in the pulley. It is an easy straight forward fix, that can be done some times without discharging the Gas in the system. Look at the pic below Replace bearing and noise should go away. P.S hope you are sure the noise is from compressor area? 1 Like

Oga Gazzuzz please help out. My honda accord 2008 AC was not chilling but blows cool air. I took it for a check and "Segun" said I need to top the gas. This I did and the AC worked fine for about a week. Now the AC just blows air while the cooling has greatly reduced. Your expertise will be appreciated as I don't want "Segun" to be toying with AC. Thank you Sir. |

Gazzuz please do you know the price of a compressor of a Mitsubishi outlander 2005 model? Can u source for me? |
Re: Closed by GAZZUZZ(m): 9:11am On Dec 04, 2016 |
gidigbi: you have a leaking A.c system. Find the leak. Note a vehicle can hold charge for over 7years without needing a refill. |
Re: Closed by GAZZUZZ(m): 9:18am On Dec 04, 2016 |
DUNKA: not at the moment sir. |

@GAZZUZZ how much does an evaporator cost? car type is toyota corrola 05, besides do u av a recommend technician in ibadan? |
Re: Closed by snipesdam(m): 3:37pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
@GAZZUZZ My Corolla AC works fine when in motion. But If i spent more than 5mins idle in traffic, it doesn't chill like normal when in motion. What could be the fault? PS last month when my AC leaked, my AC guy this mantle the AC unit Evaporator, Compressor, Condenser etc and only found leak @the compressor hose. However i noticed my condenser fins (those thing metals absorbing the heat) are kinda rough very rough that they almost stick together, because am suspecting it. Whats your advice. |
Re: Closed by GAZZUZZ(m): 3:52pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
snipesdam: Sounds like a defective compressor. |
Re: Closed by snipesdam(m): 3:59pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
Re: Closed by mayor2013: 9:49pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
snipesdam: Could also be a blocked condenser as well. |
Re: Closed by VickyHills(f): 9:59pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
Good evening. My AC doesn't work at all. We tried refilling but still didn't work. The AC guy then said it's the coil that needs to be changed. How right is that? |
Re: Closed by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:11pm On Dec 06, 2016 |
VickyHills: the coil is 12v powered, it can be tested directly to know if it is functional or not . |

Re: Closed by Ehido(m): 10:37pm On Dec 06, 2016 |
Hi Gazzuzz and all the experts in the house, I use a 2005 toyota avensis, the ac works very well and cools well even in hot weather but anytime the compressor is working it makes a grinding noise. Should I be worried, is my compressor failing? other than this issue the ac is in good working condition. |
Re: Closed by mayor2013: 11:22pm On Dec 06, 2016 |
Ehido: Sooner or later |
Re: Closed by GAZZUZZ(m): 6:58am On Dec 07, 2016 |
Ehido: unfortunately yes. Lack of lubrication, or high mileage. You could try checking if the compressor has oil in it. |
Re: Closed by Ehido(m): 8:13am On Dec 07, 2016 |
GAZZUZZ: Pls how can I check if it has oil in it. |
Re: Closed by Ehido(m): 8:15am On Dec 07, 2016 |
What can I do to extend the life of the compressor? |
Re: Closed by GAZZUZZ(m): 8:16am On Dec 07, 2016 |
Ehido: evacuate refrigerant, remove compressor, and check. Lubricate with the right type of oil ND8 synthetic |
Re: Closed by VickyHills(f): 7:25pm On Dec 07, 2016 |
GAZZUZZ:Sir, how can it be tested? |
Re: Closed by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:28pm On Dec 07, 2016 |
VickyHills: when you remove it from the vehicle, post the pic here and I will show you. |
