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

my greatest challenge is your location.it is too distance for me and my tools aren't handy.

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

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

makavele:
do you do a leak finder using u.v dye

or using an electronic sniffer?

how many months(years) guarantee/warranty do you offer on your completed A/C projects ?

we have all.
We also do pressure leakage test on evaporator.
1 month warranty.

sekeyso:
What could be the cause of AC blowing hot Air on idle while cooling when on motion...i recharged around 2nd week of January. The car is corolla 2005

your compressor has low pumping capacity but make sure they check for blockage before replacing.

RipVanWink:
whats your take on repairing an ac compressor shaft seal leak?
whats the chances of succes........u know of a good place?
my compressor shaft is leaking

it is 50-50 chance.most time it doesn't last for month and some times you might be lucky,but this days I don't advice people to repair shaft seals reason why is most of the seals are fake.
Make sure you also check you condenser filter(drier)because in most cases this days,blockage damages seals and if you condenser is full of mold on the body.
There is no proper heat exchange and your compressor will over work himself.

drcynthia:
Mine corolla 2012. Cools in d mornings and evenings. Blows hot air in the afternoon. I have topped the gas, washed the condenser (the stuff that looks like a radiator), even changed the filter. still nothing. When I am travling it cools. I am just confused. The AC guy I meet said its d compressor. Pls someone help!!!

you have low gas in the system,and did they evacuate the formal gas in the system before refilling.
Note....next time pls always evacuate the air in the system of your ac before you refill reason is you have more of air in the system than gas so you can't expect you car to get cold like before,and most time before you know it your compressor will get damaged.

Running gas test with my automotive refrigerant identifier machine.want to be sure the gas is pure and 100% not missed with R12 and R22, because that is the reason so many AC compressor get burnt.

Running air conditioning leakage test with my OBD 2 scanner on Toyota Corolla 2009.
It always accurate and fast.

bdon123:
oga mosbus my problem is that am afraid of my Lexus RX 330 AC compressor failing.My current AC compressor is d 2nd one i have bought.The first one failed after a year of operation.Please note i didnt change condenser as the AC guy said it was still flowing and not bad ,so he flushed with some chemicals and said its ok.Note i had to recharge once within the one year of its operation.Now to my 2nd compressor,i changed it and changed condenser and xpansion v/v ...and d new AC guy i used this time confirmed it was a sienna compressor that the previous guy fixed ,so the whole system was thouroughly flushed with chemicals then finally with compressor oil before charging with gas.Currently my AC works fine but am scared of it failing as i spent alot of money already on AC system ...am going paranoid n scared that it might fail again.
NB:after the first compressor failure,it was opened up and no oil was found inside hence the reason for it seizing.........i will like to know if am over paranoid

you have no issue seems you have replaced those parts has mentioned above.

Omeizy:
Sup bro I really commend your good work so far,please is there soft or hard cabinet filter for Toyota yaris 2008 model

yes.....
There are two types: dust (paper type)and dust and odor(charcoal type). The dust type cabin air filters can trap particles as small as 0.3 microns, which include things like pollen, bacteria, mold spores, even exhaust soot and smoke. Most dust filters will stop 100 percent of all particles that are 3 microns or larger in size, and 95 to 99 percent of particles 1 to 3 microns in size. The combination dust and odor filters have a layer of activated charcoal or baking soda to absorb odors and air pollutants. Some of these filters may even be lightly scented to enhance the driving experience.

The recommended replacement interval is typically every 15,000 to 30,000 miles for dust-type filters, or once a year for combination dust and odor cabin air filters.but because of naija environment i always advice me client to clean there cabin filter every 3 month depend on the area you live.
