My AC blows cold air for few seconds and then blows ordinary air, blows cold air again and then ordinary air.

The cooling is intermittent and this started after I refilled the gas by a road side technician.

Overfilling of gas can cause that,and also check radiator fan rotation.

Godsun:
Hi Mobos, thanks for your support so far. My AC was working fine I just felt it wasn't cool enuf so I went to refill the gas. Immediately I refilled it, grew compressor started working intermittently. I mean the ac fan continues to blow but it only blows cold air at intervals and at overall the car doesn't get cold at all.

Pls I don't understand your complains.

Reprobate:
lol, was wishing you would not say this, I would be sad, if the super cooling fails because of this.
you feel the air inside would cause the system to develop a leak in the future, and is even preventing my ac from chilling even better?

is any refrigerant beta?, ie the big 5kg green bottle of gas vs the small 1kg bottles, is any better than the other, I intend to refill with Cheb
refrigerant, as its said to be better than maxxron

Can't really tell,but the only gas that I can confirm is pure R134 with my gas analysing machine is harp and snow

Chelseafan1:
Bro please, on the average, how much does a Cabin filter cost?

so I have my evaporator recently replced, and ac shaft seal repaired.the technician doesn't have a vacuum pump, thus didn't vacuum it. this is about 4wks after the job, car chills ok, have seen another technician who has a vacuum pump, would you advice me to go and have it vacuumed and refilled properly

yes pls do it.

Eberechi24:
nice to have someone who comprehend what I wrote.


base in Lagos?


BTW, I have this feeling that 340gram of gas is small for the car.

There's nothing like feelings.every car has the quantity of gas they take and you can find that in the front of every car bonnet.
If you can't find it there is app you can download on your phone,but it only works on android phones only, you will see type of oil and gas to use and also the quantities.
Every car from 2000 model uses R134 gas.are aware there's a new gas called R1234yf.

Chelseafan1:
There's no cabin filter, last I checked, it's been removed.

What's the implication please, make I rush go buy.

You are endangering the life of your evaporator.

Eberechi24:
3 cans is too much for the compressor. Try reducing the gas in the system or drain out the gas and air in system and refill with just 2 cans

1kg= I can of gas
340gram= 2cans of gas

Wonderful.......ENGINEER.
Pls 340gram = 1 can depending on the manufacturer.

Chelseafan1:
Oga Mosbus, my AC is still chilling o, till date.

Could it be that, all my AC problems are now a thing of the past?

All thanks to GOD,pls always make sure you check your cabin filter at most every 3 month depending on how often you drive and your environment.
Thanks.

sunnydayasaba:
Oga mosbus, Please my 2005 Toyota Camry AC stopped working, I took it to a tech who told me he suspect a leakage, though no test was done to identify the leakages. Please I don't know if I can come in for a check please because I think I stay close by too, Jakande.

Thank you as I wait your response please

No problem sir,next week will be fine,just give me a call before coming.
Thanks.

CHISPAREPARTS:
OK.

hmmmmm

Jazzlite:
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!!

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.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MANUAL (FIXED DISPLACEMENT COMPRESSORS) AND AUTOMATIC (VARIABLE DISPLACEMENT COMPRESSORS)

I got a call from a client this week asking for an A/C compressor replacement. He specifically stated he wanted a manual (fixed displacement compressor) and not an automatic (variable displacement compressor). The car itself was factory fitted with a variable displacement compressor. When I asked him why he wanted something different from what the manufacturer had fitted in the car, he told me his A/C technician said automatic (variable displacement compressors give lots of problems and its always best to go for the manual (fixed displacement compressors).

The compressor is the most important part of a cars air conditioning system. The variable compressor is a much newer technology and it works by automatically varying its pumping capacity to meet air conditioning demand. When the car’s temperature is high, it increases its capacity until the desired temperature is achieved and it also automatically reduces its temperature when the desired temperature is met. A fixed displacement works on a totally different principle, it delivers the same pumping capacity at all temperatures.

The automatic compressor has a couple advantages over the manual compressor. Some of the advantages are that the variable displacement compressor does not cause the engine to jerk because of the absence of a compressor clutch. This directly leads to a much smoother driving experience and low fuel consumption. The greatest disadvantage of the automatic compressor is that it does not tolerate dirt at all.

If your car A/C system comes with an automatic compressor which fails and the system is clean, then changing the compressor and condenser should get your A/C working again but if the system is dirty, the other parts in the air conditioning system has to be changed along with a thorough system flushing. That being said, it is always best to go for a new automatic compressor if your compressor has failed and you still insist on an automatic one. If you cant afford an OEM or a high-quality aftermarket compressor then you should stick to the manual compressors.

good job.
But most times what really damages variable displacement sensor compressor (automatic compressor)is if your radiator fan don't operate the way it should.

Hello boss. I have an issue with my car AC it's a Camry 2000 model pencil light, recently filled the gas but the Ac chills only in the 2 vents near d driver's side, while d 2 vent in the passenger's side does not really chill wat cud be the problem!

low refrigerant in the system,pls tell your technician to check for leakage

Chelseafan1:
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

i hope so too.

Chelseafan1:
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.

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

makavele:
Compressor engages and runs; Blow warm air
Gas is present in High Pressure hose; Low pressure hose completely dry and empty

check expansion valve

xcaper:
Toyota Camry 2011 model does not cool well in traffic in hot afternoon but cools well when the car is in motion. What could be the cause? What is the solution?

Possible causes.
1.low refrigerant in the system
2,compressor faulty due to low compression.
3,radiator fan not blow faster when ever the room temperature is high.

Chelseafan1:
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?

it ok.the atmospheric temperature was very low.that is why you experiencing such.

Chelseafan1:
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.

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

Chelseafan1:
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

Any update on a reliable AC technician with a vacuum pump in Abuja ?! Because I am seriously considering purchasing one and charging people for the usage. It seems there is a growing demand for it and all those AC technicians in GUDU, Abuja don't even know about vacuuming an AC system.

i don't have any reliable technician in Abuja.

dapotemi:
[danciuthor=mosbus post=66082892]you can come next week Monday.
Thanks

*dancing azonto..Thank you bros. Pls allow me to choose another day. Work schedule won't allow me to come on Monday. I will call you on phone. Thank you

you welcome.

dapotemi:
My Ac was recharged and it was very chilling but after two weeks it's started blowing normal air. I asked my Ac to check and he said it's low on gas and he has to refill again. Yes, it worked for another two to three weeks and I am back to square one. I notice it's a gradual process as it will be very chill at first, maybe for one week, then jus normal chilling the second week and by d third week, wat I get is just normal air. I suspect a serious leak. When can I come for a leak test.
04 Camry. Obviously my AC guy is incompetent and am done with him

you can come next week Monday.
Thanks

PHtradeCenter:
cc mosbus

how did he confirm those two things he mentioned are bad.
Because the fault might be your compressor shaft seal or evaporator but to confirm that it isn't your evaporator he needs to run a pressure test instead if given a wrong result.

Ournaija:
Please help the smell is killing. It stays on the body for more 3 days each time I use the car.

take the car to a technician to check cabin filter and also they should loose the evaporator blow to confirm if any particles falls inside.

This warm weather has everyone sweating, but you don't have to be hot when cruising around town, stop in and let us cool you off. We will beat any of our competitors, with honest, and dependable AC service.
Call mosbus cool for any enquiry.

jimmyneut:
Possibly a leak on the compressor itself

check compressor shaft seal
