Don't reuse the old condenser cos technically a condenser cannot be flushed just go ahead to change it .
The grinding is indication of murdered compressor that got grounded cos of non adherence to standard practice in course installation.
People are too quick to blame the refrigerant brand ,the reality is refrigerant brand certified by the SON are still ok for use what about the cleanliness of the ac system cos it takes small very small minute of dirts and moisture to kill a compressor especially the VDC type
And during flushing , what is methof procedure adopted,what kind of solvent is being used to flush ? if it flushing solvent that leaves residue behind after use and the style of flushing is ladipo style then I am afraid don't expect the ac compressor to last .
What about the expansion valve, is it the right one that match the compressor ? Also is the refrigerant and oil measured to reflect the manufacturer recommendation cos not using the right quantity is enough to kill the compressor.
Finally the skill set of the technician goes a long way to determine the success of the installation,is he well equipped, can he analyze manifold Guage data , does he understand the concept of pressure temperature relation of ac system ,doesn he understand basic thermodynamics concept ? Unfortunately the reality on ground vehicle owners are having problem cos of the skill level of most of our technicians , they should not allowed to touch a refrigerant talkless of refilling ac system if it were to be a sane clime cos u can't fix what u don't understand cos the basic of ac is basic understanding of thermodynamics systems
All these factors are what will contribute to longevity of any ac installation .

Is flushing the same as vacuuming the system ??

Cos I know vacuuming is done with vacuum machine…

I bought 75amp solite #25k in December but the fvcking battery is weak now,I will just buy China battery next time,no need of hype

There are circumstances that drain battery faster.

Same thing happened to A friend we bought the solite together over a year ago, but his car fan was connected directly which means the thermostat is not there anymore. This put very big load on the battery which kills it faster than mine. We got to know when the second battery he bought lasted another 4 months

Lol funny

I use solite and it’s been over a year now…

Try checking your alternator

Hello guys, i installed an android stereo unit in my 07 es 350 but connected to the reverse camera that came with it. I have since noticed several christmas lights on my information cluster viz; ABS, Air bag warning indicator, Master warning light, Slip indicator, AFS OFF and TPMS etc. Occasionally the brake trouble indicator will come up and disappear again. When i scan, it shows several trouble codes which i don't think they are all correct because the scan result was entirely different prior to the installation

Has anybody encountered this before? Please note that prior to the installation, i only had AFS OFF and TPMS as the lights on my information cluster.

N.B The original stereo was stolen hence the android replacement.

Please i need you guys help

Hello guys, this morning I was washing my Toyota Camry, and I kept it on ignition mode to jam up while washing it.

After playing for about an hour, I noticed that the music stopped playing, but was still connected to the car.

I tried starting the car, but the dashboard lights came up but was just fluctuating/flickering, and the car won't revolve. I've tried it several times still nothing.

I've checked the battery and the green indicator still shows it's in a perfect condition.

What could be the cause please?

Na battery nah, please what year of the xle you got the push to start button ??

omotoda:
Sorry ,I can't.I just walked into the market and sourced it.Where are you based?I believe there should be sellers in any parts market whichever state you are.You can ask the people selling engine,.They can easily remove one for you.But make sure its your exact fit.

Japa for trouble I like the fact that YOU LIKE YOUR PEACE OF MIND...

I haven’t liked them from start,

I follow public transport...

Wherever I see them buying from is where I buy my fuel

GAZZUZZ:
Work is moving slow, as there is no pressure.

Engine oil inspected and found to be milky.

Engine must have had a history of overheating.

No metal particles in base of engine .

At this point a decision has to be made between a replacement and a rebuild.

Rebuild for learning sake

Looks fresh Who sell ham give you ??

It was a simple yes or No questions. It wouldn't have taken any thing from him if he just answered. No body sabi pass mr PA.

Which PA?? You don’t even know how and why this thread is progressing...


I opened this thread in 2015, basically to keep clients informed on repairs and procedures used on vehicles in our custody.

Stopped updating it for a while now, because of the volume of work and basically got lazy cheesy

Any way we have a special vehicle in the house and we would like to documents it's repairs, it will be fun and educational.

Thread is not for requests, iv got other threads for that so kindly find them, feel free to ask questions related to the posts or topics.

As usual, I will not tolerate derailing or insults, if you have nothing to say, just read and pass, derailers WILL receive a very long ban.

Enjoy as you read and watch.

Read and digest the bolded part.
