I have researched on it and tried different suggestions online. But the technician said confidently that it's an electrical problem. A good electrician came and checked. After troubleshooting, he suspected the thermostat for the ac. The pictures are below. We have changed the air filter and checked the compressor and condenser yet it persisted. I hope the thermostat solves the problem. I'm in alaoji, in abia state.

senator2k9: lol.......I can't stop laughing. Removing thermostat frm d cooling system is d worse thing any techician can do. Bro its beta u ran away o! If dat thermostat was removed, the compressor would have been working continiously without stop, and it won't even take up to a week b4 that compressor finally knocks! The thermostat was designed to make the compressor breathe n cool with the return pipe when the thermostat switches off. Count urself lucky coz with a knocked system u wil have to overhaul ur entire cooling system

Thanks

mayor2013: Bro if your compressor drags its either they change the bearing and coil or change the entire compressor and let them also check the belt of the compressor if has no marking yet. I hada similar problem like this on an lexus rx330 and the problem has been fixed. If your car allows you to scan your Ac pls scan it. But I doubt for a toyota camry 2003

I was unable to scan the ac.

Stylz69: Check your cabin air filter. It is usually located behind the glove compartment. A clogged filter could cause that

I initially visited a technician that wanted to do magic. He told that can only connect the compressor from a direct source of power. He also said that for it to work effectively, that he have remove the thermostat. Immediately I heard that I automatic turned to usan bolt with supercharged legs, I ran to a Toyota affiliate where proper troubleshooting was done

I actually did that but it didn't solve the problem, I also checked the relay. It was also ok. A direct connection was done to check the performance of the compressor. But it almost dragged the running engine to a halt. It's sad the the best alternative was to replace the compressor.

I was going through the site for solution of the little challenge but to no avail. So this thread will serve as an Avenue to resolve all air condition related issues. This thread will cut across all brands of cars because the refrigeration/air conditioning processes are similar in cars. Experts in the house, your humble advice and suggestions are fully welcomed. Viewers with similar problems which was resolved are also free to contribute.

My mums car is today's case study. It's a Toyota camry. 2003 model. The ac cools for few seconds and stop with it ac light blinking. I took time to troubleshoot, I checked if the fuse was intact and also for leakage. They are good from my own observation. She visited a technician that told her that her compressor is faulty and requires replacement. I had to crave your indulgence as regards this before we will regret and pitiable outcome. Below are visuals. Thanks

Lol

I agree with you that there were no carb for the b4 Audi five cylinders. That project (convertion) exposed me to notice that the Carb was not feeding the engine well as in air-fuel ratio that lead to vibration. On ideal, the engine will steam smoothly and as soon as a load is added changes will occur. The ecu was only controlling the gearbox. I have learnt my lesson.

Siena: Camaro, it's a shame your mechanic messed up your 2.3L Audi 80 engine. Te Mercedes-Benz 230E had a carburettor version, though in the 200 (2.0) models. All 2.3 models were fuel-injected. The 2,309cc Audi 80 however had no carburettor version, so a carb conversion would require pretty much a hybrid set-up. All custom bits, unless you sourced the cylinder head and carburettor intake manifold, from the Audi 80 B2 80 1.9 CD, the B2 Audi Coupe 1.9 GT or the rare Audi 100 type 44 1.9.

Even then, the older cylinder head oil and coolant passages wouldn't line up with the oil and coolant passages in the 2.3 cylinder block.

The 2.3 cylinder head was not optimised to be carb-fed, hence the sluggish performance and other issues.

Just one thing though - the 2,309c I5 SOHC 10V motor made 133hp, not 150.

This was 2years ago before I joined nairaland. I have always been a car enthusiast until I met you guys on nl and I became humble.

I have been a fan for German cars Until my parents got me the Audi. Initially the engine was running smoothly with the injection System and after some issues that had to do with the blocking of nozzles. I was convinced by the road technician to do a convertion to a carburetor.

I almost said no but I remembered the conversation I did on my benz 230e with a MAUNAL trans and it worked perfectly. I had to agree and at the end of the surgery which went successfully the can wasnt picking up like before. It was taking close to 10seconds to reach 60km/h and I had to disposed of it. I enjoyed it for only a month. It's cool and stable When you are above 140km. But rear wheel cars has always been my favourite.

Im so scared that It will take me so decades to own another car because of the threat from the federal government policy about the importation of used vehicles

Seconded by me
