RipVanWink:it is 50-50 chance.most time it doesn't last for month and some times you might be lucky,but this days I don't advice people to repair shaft seals reason why is most of the seals are fake. Make sure you also check you condenser filter(drier)because in most cases this days,blockage damages seals and if you condenser is full of mold on the body. There is no proper heat exchange and your compressor will over work himself. |

sekeyso:your compressor has low pumping capacity but make sure they check for blockage before replacing. |

do you do a leak finder using u.v dye or using an electronic sniffer? how many months(years) guarantee/warranty do you offer on your completed A/C projects ? |
Re: Its A/C Season Again, Lets Share Problems And Solutions by mosbus: 10:50pm On Feb 17, 2018 |
makavele:we have all. We also do pressure leakage test on evaporator. 1 month warranty.

Re: Its A/C Season Again, Lets Share Problems And Solutions by makavele: 10:56pm On Feb 17, 2018 |
why 1 month? what would cause failure (again) assuming no mechanical damage to compressor I'm perplexed. |

Possibly a leak on the compressor itself pappyshun: |

Hi Gurus! I drive a 2008 Toyota Camry. It was packed for a while( about a year) and got it back running recently. I however noticed the AC was not working and took it to the technician. By mere inspection he suspected a leak and said he will fix it and refill the gas. He did, the AC worked for 2 days and stopped working again- only blows hot air. I go back and he gives me a list of parts to replace- Compressor, Condenser etc. I took it to the next technician that said it was Evaporator,Condenser and Compressor and suggested that I change to a manual compressor because getting an original auto compressor is expensive and may not work well with the condenser. 1. Please who can help me make a real diagnosis- I am based in Lagos mainland? 2. Should i change to Manual compressor, what are the risks? 3. Are there estimates for this so I am not ripped off? Thanks |

Hello House i noticed recently that cold air comes out from the two vents closest to the driver’s seat of my car. The other two on the passenger side isn’t cold it’s just the air from the fan. Car is a 2004 BMW 325XI |

kokaneprodigy: You are most likely low on refrigerant. Trace for leakages and top up refrigerant to correct spec |

mayor2013:refrigerant has been topped as prescribed by the AC technician. Same ish. |

kokaneprodigy: With the help of your manifold guage hooked up to the low side and high side and AC running and engine ilding I need to know what values you get both for high side and on low side considering your environmental temperature. Tell your ac tech to make use of his guage here |

Just pray you don't have a problem with your AC, because it will never be the same again. Our technicians are not well grounded in the science and technology of car ACs. This assertion is based on personal, bitter experience. |
