after ans inspirational meal washed down with original origin
a.c diagnosis starts.

Air conditioning system of this vehicle consists of

* compressor (on engine)
* Evaporator
* Expansion valve
* condenser
* pipe work
* electronics.


I'll start with what I call sectional vacuuming it's basically blocking off parts of the system, and vacuuming.

That way I can identify parts that are leaking.

With the compressor and condenser out, I will vacuum the system with 2 pipes blocked.

That way if there's no leak, I'm sure the pipe work is not leaking and the evaporator is not leaking.

The pipes have been modified in biafra land so bear with us.

That's the engine. I will not be fixing this engine because it has been thru a lot.

One step I forgot to mention.

Disconnect the harness from the engine ecu.

no start condition

No compression on all cylinders

water in engine oil

Cracked windsheild

Dysfunctional airconditioning

Scratches and dents all over

Very dirty interior



Work begins.

Fastest way to bring down a 4X4 2gr-fe engine is to take the subframe down

www.nairaland.com/attachments/5705390_img20170724102916_jpega1fce7f2bb7aad79615ea4f6c8d73ef0

I don't use a lifter, but what I have gets the job done.

Crane suspends engine

Take the car really high, and unscrew subframe.

Engine can slip out easily from under the car.

I've been having this issue for the Past 4 weeks with my Vehicle

2008 Peugeot 307 1.6 16v

It started suddenly when I use the Air Conditioner, Water (a lot) collects in the footwells

I've taken it to 2 different people, they fiddle with it, it doesnt happen for maybe two days and then it starts again!

What could be the Issue?
was the car converted from right to left? Go under and take a look your self.

timifakay:
Dear humanoid, last the car owner posted, the indicators of the lever do not tally with the functions they serve.
Please forgive our ignorance and assuming you are ordinary person like us.
He was offered free diagnosis before you gave him your "brother's" (by the way, is he human or not ordinary like you?) number and he's had to replace and repeat same procedure till he lost count in the hands of you people that are not ordinary. He would have enjoyed better services in the hands of we ordinary people who diagnose and have accurate details before working, please leave this kind of work for mere mortals.
Thank you sir.

I actually don't have one now cause mine was borrowed and never came back

When I order a replacement I'll get one for you and one for Oga Gazzuzz (his OBD2 scanner is still sitting in Ibadan). It really is a useful tool. The one I had even had an extension for those clamps that's out of the way. That way you don't have to take 5 parts out to get to 1 measly clamp.
