Car Talk / Re: I Want To Fill My Car AC, Which Of The AC Product Is The Best? by Kingsdave(m): 5:04am On Dec 26, 2021
autologic:

Dont put the cart before the horse ,the first step in right direction is to find out why the ac is not cooling fine.Of what use is the best gas in the world (if such exist ) wen the system is already compromised.
.
Car was parked for 10 months toyota camry 2009 XLE V6 .. the first day I drove it, noticed the AC is blowing hot air ... I immediately went for a refill , after the refill, the Cold air wasn't top notch, also the drivers vent was blowing warm air , but the other vents was blowing cold air ... The AC guy suggested my valve wasn't good , he suggested I should drive it around for a day and give him feedback, a day later all the vents started blowing hot air , I went back to his garage he removed the radiator and Condenser , he checked the Compressor , from his diagnosis he said the compressor is bad .. that it's turning almost at will ( free will) ... He suggested I should change the compressor and condenser also the valve. .. he suggested manual Compressor , that the Automatic compressor will pack up real soon .... When we went to buy the Automatic compressor like I insisted , on getting to the Tokunbo shop , the sellers said they won't give me any warranty for the compressor, it's at owners risk ... Please what's you guys suggestions What happened to my Ac is it a packed up Compressor Should I go about getting the manual Compressor fitted

GAZZUZZ:




You parked a functional vehicle for 10 months and the AC was not working when you came back ( a leak), refilled and all vents were not as cold as should be and became warm next day (a leak) At this point find leak. 3 possibilities .

Compressor shaft seal ( can be checked manually without any equipment)

Pipes ( visual inspection can be used and soap suds)

Evaporator unit. ( You can actually smell refrigerant in the cabin if leak is that fast)

Standard I would use a vacuum machine and my digital pressure gauge to find the leak very easily, but not every one has fancy equipment.

I do not think your compressor is bad. Find the leak, fix, oil the compressor , replace the O rings, joints, vacuum and recharge properly (0.7-0.8kg of refrigerant)

Thank you so much sir, the Tech guy didn't use any fancy equipment ..he just rolled and rolled the compressor , he said it shouldn't be rolling that way , that's the culprit, he was like no matter the amount of gas I put , it will still lead to changing the compressor , he checked the condenser and said that it needs replacing since the compressor will be replaced... There is no AC Tech people around here with any fancy equipment ... I'm in the east

mosbus:

So sorry for the late reply.
Your car is having leakage issue.
He should take care of the primary problem first before jumping into other issues.
The only reason why he should change your compressor is if the compressor isn't compressing properly and leakage due to longtime packing.which will affect the solenoid flow sensor if there's no refrigerant in the system.
Make sure your A/C technician is using manifold guage for diagnosis.

Thank you sir , he didn't make use of any Manifold gauge , he did it based on mere physical inspection, he was hell bent it was the compressor... Since we will be fitting in a new compressor he suggested a new condenser should be installed too... I will check another AC Tech

Peppermintflav:

Seek second opinion from another ac tech. Those sellers don't give guarantee on automatic compressor due to some reasons best known to them.
Thanks I will do that

Very poor

Car Talk / Re: What Can I Do In This Situation With A FRSC Officer? by Kingsdave(m): 2:55pm On Apr 16, 2021
Kelvin30286063:
The issue has been resolved. Apparently the other officers at the office said he shouldn't have slapped me but they said I shouldn't have called him stupid. And I said he shouldn't have been disrespectful to my father who was standing right there in front of me. A man that has children that are way older than him.
At the end, they called us into an office and everybody apologized to everybody. They told him to take the receipt and confirm it which he did and I got my documents back.

The commander or whatever said he's a difficult person to deal with but he's a nice person sometimes. I told them if you are not careful, this man can make you lose your job if he did the same thing he did to me to an influencial person.

Well, after apologies here and there, I got my vehicle papers back and I'm back to my office.



Thank God it was resolved... Please sir try and tint your car... It will save you unnecessary stress and issues .... Had a similar issue last year.... Had to tint my car afterwards ....

Hello Family, this thread is aimed at discussing experiences with all kinds of Jaguar vehicles, feel free to comment on any one's contribution and suggestion,

I have 1999 S-type and had electrical issues which locked the steering of the car. I haven't been able to sort it out. For the past few months, I have been seeing more of Jaguars and I feel the urge to resuscitate mine. If you have any tips or a way forward, or you have issues too, we can be of help to Jaguar lovers.

We should be able to talk about where to get parts, what type of engine oil and transmission oils that is the best, where to do body modifications, etc.

I hope Jaguar specialists and it's parts sellers too can join in the thread will join in.

Thank you.

Jaguars are nice car ...we have one in our family... a jaguar XF 4.2L V8 supercharger... a beast on the highway .... it dusts off every car it comes across with ease ..... I love Jaguar ... I don't know why Nigerians don't buy it.... a range rover mechanic can sort any jaguar problem out too
