Look for a advance scanner and scan the AC system.
What ever code it gives you,send it to me.

is it advisable to pressure flush the evaporator while in the car to clean the surface like the way we flush radiator?
Re: Reason Why Is Important To Vacuum A System Before Refilling Of Gas by kaz4sure2015: 8:54pm On Apr 15, 2020
Hi Mosbus , please what could be responsible for my Lexus Es350 not to cool when the temperature is high in the afternoon but normally cool very well in the morning.

I also noticed that the Driver side doesn’t cool as much as the passenger side in the afternoon and it will only pick when I accelerate

Thank you

Low refrigerant in the system, check for leakage and also check your radiator fan.

chief,i drive volvo s60. My ac cools very well when am not accelerating but as soon as I accelerate no matter how slow,i think the compressor disengages cos I don't feel the cool air no more..Thank you.

Did you just refill the gas,look for a good technician who has advance scanning tools to help you run diagnosis check on the air conditioning.

that's the problem,as industrious As Aba is,there is no single standard car workshop here let alone AC technicians. Anyone of you that opens a standard workshop here will be making top dollars. Plenty people are in my shoes. By the way,yes I just refilled the gas and no it wasn't vacuumed. Heck they don't even know what vacuuming means.

Well done Mosbus and thank you for the very educative thread.
Pls does low refrigerant level always mean there is a leakage in the system?
- Can the refrigerant level reduce without any leakage in the system?
- What should be the ideal refrigerant pressure for a car like Hyundai sonata?
- Lastly, is it advisable technical-wise to 'work' a/c to a car that didn't come with a factory fitted a/c?

They have over refilled the system with refrigerant.your car takes 1kg of gas, anything above that is a problem.

1,once you have low refrigerant in the system means there's leakage.most likely from your compressor oil seal.
2,idle low pressure without putting on the air conditioning is always 120 and above depending if the system is single or dual evaporator.
3,yes, that's if the technician has the electrical digram,because every car above 2000 model has air conditioning space to install,and the only way it won't affect your car is if you install the thermostat, pressure switch and relay etc,in the right positions.
Re: Reason Why Is Important To Vacuum A System Before Refilling Of Gas by idtwo: 11:30pm On Apr 29, 2020
Thank you sir for your prompt answer.
A technician told me that compressor oil seal for cars that are automatic cannot be replaced if the leakage is from the compressor, that one must consider replacing the compressor either with another automatic or 'work' in one from a manual tranny. Vehicle in question is a Hyundai sonata 2009. And cost of the AC compressor is quite high.
Pls what is your view on this? Thanks again.

The technician is right,even when buying a tokunbo automatic controlled compressor,you have to be very careful.
Reason is you don't know the millage of the car,where the compressor is dismantled from.
Such compressor is 50-50.
