Black Gas In My Car AC System, Please Help. by blockgeek69(m): 9:57am On Jan 11, 2023
I noticed compressor failure, noise was coming from the compressor. I went to the mechanic, he recommended a change of compressor after noticing this gas color from discharge (picture attached).

But after changing the compressor and flushing the system with cooking gas. I drove for 3 hours and the same problem started again, the gas became black again. I used Honda Accord '09


Someone please come to my aid, this thing is driving me insane already.

The compressor has gone bad again. It's possible they supplied you a repaired Compressor or, your gas system is still bad.

How long did they wait after flushing the system??..

Cos if they did a proper job it wouldnt reoccure.. Thye need to loose d condencer, compressor, maybe fridge, flush rm properly...

Black death loading, this is majorly caused by bad gas... Many out there are fake gas. Look for a competent AC technician to handle your case. The evaporator in your car might also be clogged... You probably need an AC system overhaul. So budget for Evaporator, Expansion valve, condenser and compressor... The pipings too if they are not free enough...

Am having the same issue with my Honda CRV, the gas is black. But surprisingly the car is still cooling very well for 2 weeks going to 3, unlike other compressor that pack up immediately the gas goes black, and am on my third compressor in less than a year. Is your compressor still working despite the gas is s black?

why are you taking this risk.
It isn't advisable to use cooking gas to flush it's highly hazardous.
GOD saved you from using your own hands to damaging your car.
If there was any small spark of light my brother story is the case.
Pls go and overhaul the entire system stop wasting your money.

You need a complete system overhaul. If that black grit isn’t out of the system, it’ll keep corrupting the whole system even if parts are replaced.


Mosbus to the rescue. His charges might seem pricey but in the long run, you’d thank him.

Contact this Coldx guy, he'll sort your issues.

They solved my ac issues, close to 2 years now no issues.
Re: Black Gas In My Car AC System, Please Help. by scobboo: 12:25am On Feb 02, 2023
Don't waste money changing compressor as there is already a virus aka black death in the AC system already.
Everything concerning the AC must be changed if not you will keep going in circles and I am talking from experience using the same car and haven tackled same issues too,
you will be needing another compressor, freezer, condenser and even all your AC pipes and tubes will go .
My brother prepare your pocket well o cos the spending no be here and if u try to cut corners by not replacing all the parts you risk infecting and damaging the new parts again. shocked

Re: Black Gas In My Car AC System, Please Help. by SortOut: 1:54pm On Feb 06, 2023
Black dearth - most of the time complete AC overhaul is required for permanent solution.. don't subscribe to using manual compressor.

After trying with someone in the East with no result. When i returned to my base in lagos, I later took it to my mechanic in lagos. He dismantled the AC components and flushed the whole system, he took the compressor to ladipo, they open it and cleaned it thoroughly. Then he changed the condenser. The problem dissappeared.

Thanks for your response chief. I hear the manual compressor consumes more fuel. How true is it please?
