Bro, how can you help me stop this AC wahala once and for all, I'm tired of wasting money on this thing and I want it to work....last week, I changed compressor, expansion valve, dryer, evaporator, bought new hose three times, filled gas, two different AC guys checked and told me there's no leakage anywhere. Now I filled gas again, I enjoyed my AC for two days, just 2 days.....I was happy with my car, today makes it the third day, I woke up now, started it, it has stopped working. The compressor engaged but it's not blowing cold air, I then out off the engine and tried checking whether there's still gas using a broom stick into the recharging hole, Alas! There is more gas.... Its annoyingly strange how something that was very cold just 7pm yesterday night has suddenly turned otherwise. I am tired. Car is a golf 4 |

Chelseafan1:my greatest challenge is your location.it is too distance for me and my tools aren't handy. You can call me for more advice if you don't mind. Fill free to call me when you are with me our technician. |

mosbus: Took it to the guy today, he detected a leakage nd dealt with it. He said my expansion valve is weak cos when he was recharging, it took time b4 getting cool. He said it would stress the compressor and all that, it's cool now but not really chilling like that. I told him to add more gas to make it chill well, he said it's not gas dt there's enough gas in the system. |
Re: Reason Why Is Important To Vacuum A System Before Refilling Of Gas by mosbus: 12:22pm On Apr 01, 2018 |
Chelseafan1:what kind of gas did he use to refill the system,and he should also check the radiator fan speed. If the fan speed is low it will affect the system from cooling properly |

mosbus: I think I saw 134a or something like that similar on the cylinder. I used it this morning, it was really cold, steam was coming out from the vents.....hope it's not a problem? |

Chelseafan1:it ok.the atmospheric temperature was very low.that is why you experiencing such. |
Re: Reason Why Is Important To Vacuum A System Before Refilling Of Gas by Chelseafan1: 8:40am On Apr 03, 2018 |
mosbus: Ok sir, as at today, there's still gas in the system. It's moderately cold in the morning but not really cold when it's sunny. Maybe I should go top it up, I doubt there's any leakage. |
Re: Reason Why Is Important To Vacuum A System Before Refilling Of Gas by mosbus: 1:03pm On Apr 03, 2018 |
Chelseafan1:didnt the technician fill it up after working on it,you need to be careful so they don't over fill the system.the quantity of gas your car will take is always written on the bonnet of your car |

mosbus: He didn't measure it with any instrument o, he just said it was OK but I said it wasn't chilling, how now told me to go drive around for few days then come back. So I went today and bot a small can of Snow nd he filled it with it, it is now chilling well. I just wish it would stay like this and not leak again, I'm scared for leakages |

Well, since Oga Mosbus can't come to Abuja and there is no resident AC specialist with all the right tools. I have taken it upon my self to buy my own set of tools. Since most of the tools are mainly for diagnosis and can be found on Amazon, will probably resell them after wards. So, here is my list: 1. Leak Detector Tool 2. UV Light Dye Detection Kit 3. A set of Manifold Guages 4. Vacuum Pump 5. Complete set of O Rings Set 6. R134a Can Piercing Valve Most of the items are inexpensive except 1 or 2 items and can be found easily on Amazon/Ebay. I ordered the Leak Detection Tool and it arrived last week. At least I can now detect any leakage before and after any AC work. Will update you when the other tools arrive as per my budget and when time allows. 2 Likes |

@arcbaba I use both a dollar and naira mastercard to make payments. You can also register your cards on PayPal and use the PayPal account for payment. For shipping from the US to Nigeria, you can use any of these three companies: Shoptomydoor, Mall for Africa and myus.com. I however highly recommend shoptomydoor. You can register an account on their website and follow the instructions. Good luck 3 Likes |

Chelseafan1:Ok. @mosbus I want to use a manual compressor for my e class.... What do you advise? Also I need original gas. Can you recommend one? Far from your location or else I'd have brought it to you! Help!! |
Re: Reason Why Is Important To Vacuum A System Before Refilling Of Gas by mosbus: 8:01am On Apr 09, 2018 |
Jazzlite:the manual compressor for Benz isn't really a manual compressor it also have variable displacement control but it's self control it isn't electronically control,and it don't compress accept if you have gas in the system.so isn't bad. But the technician has to be careful.after all the job is been completed he needs a scanner to reset the ac model because it will be complaining low pressure of refrigerant in the system so if you don't clear the fault the model won't work. 1 Like |
