Oga mosbus, kudos for the great work on this platform. Please I need your kind advice.

When I bought my car (Camry 2000) in 2016, the AC wasn't cooling well so I was advised to refill it (which I did). It worked well until about October, 2017 when I noticed it was no longer cooling as before. So I approached my AC man again to complain and he refilled the AC system again. We used R134 refrigerant both times.

After the second filing, it worked for about one week and suddenly stopped cooling (the AC light would start blinking after about 5 seconds). I suspected there was a major leak somewhere. I never bothered about it (because I got no referral to another competent AC technician) until about three weeks ago. I was directed to another AC technician within my area. I explained to the guy and he did the following to determine where the leak is:



(i) removed the compressor, filled it with one oil and refixed. He explained that he would be able to trace the leak from where the oil spills out;
(ii) filled the system with a R134 refrigerant.

2 minutes into running the vehicle, we noticed that the AC began cooling but after a short while, it began blowing normal air. We observed a noise from the compressor area and the guy poured water on the compressor. It was so hot that he advised that I immediately switch off the AC. He concluded that the compressor is faulty and I'd need to change both the compressor and drier.

Please advise. Thanks.

You said the AC switch light blinks that means your compressor torque sensor is bad but that can still be modify without changing the sensor but mean while the system has leakage but to make things easy and faster all they need to do is to run a pressure test but they can't do that because they aren't equipped,but right now your compressor is faulty which you have to replace and also make sure they check for blockage and you still have leakage in the system that might be your evaporator.make sure they use the right gas and oil for you.if not they can damage your compressor again.
You can call me for any further enquiry.

Hey Boss,
I have been having issues with my car AC. Spent too much money on it. Just recently, the car cools (not very chilling though, just manageable) very early in the morning and late at nights while blows hot during the day.
Can you, based on experience, recommend someone?I am in Lagos and brand of car is Hyundai Santa Fe.
Thank you

don't have any body for now seems your compressor has low pumping,low pumping I mean is that the compression is low so is only if you drive faster you will fill the cooling,or maybe the gas quantity is low.

Please who knows any technician or workshop with vacuuming machine in Kaduna. Went round Oriapata couldn't get a single person that had it, so I had to refill my wife's car without vacuuming.

Many of the technicians argued that its not necessary. One said if I vacuum thats the end of my compressor.
People need knowledge.

pls don't mind them,they don't know there job.
I will advice if non of them have a vacuum pump,before they refill your car with gas tell them to force the gas in first without starting the car after some while the gas will stop moving by then they can start the car and put on the air conditioning to complete the filling.but they need to be careful so that they don't overfilll the system.

Happy Sunday friends.

Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Ambient Temperature Sensor (Switch)

Common signs include a faulty AC auto mode, inconsistent cooling, and incorrect outdoor temperature readings.


Modern vehicles are equipped with sophisticated heating and air conditioning systems that are highly efficient in achieving and maintaining comfortable cabin temperatures for the passengers. They are able to do this by using a series of sensors that work together to activate and regulate the AC system. One of the primary sensors that plays a key role in the operation of the AC system is the ambient temperature sensor, also commonly known as the ambient temperature sensor switch.

Vehicles in hot or cold extremes will require significantly more effort from the HVAC system to both cool and heat the cabin of the vehicle. For this reason, it is important for the system to be aware of the temperature of the environment that the vehicle is in. It is the job of the ambient temperature sensor to measure the external temperature of the vehicle as a reference point for the computer to make calculations. The computer will continuously monitor the signal from the ambient temperature sensor and make automatic adjustments as needed to maintain cabin temperature. When the ambient temperature sensor fails, there will usually be a few symptoms that may alert the driver that a problem with the sensor has occurred and it should be inspected or replaced if needed.

1. The AC auto mode will not work

Most modern vehicles have an auto AC setting that will allow the vehicle to automatically set and regulate the temperature. The AC system will simply read the ambient and cabin temperature sensors data and continuously cycle the AC system on and off as required to keep the cabin cool. When the ambient temperature sensor fails, the system does not have a reference point from which to base it’s automatic calculations and the setting will not work.

2. Inconsistent cooling

Another symptom of a bad or failing ambient temperature sensor is inconsistent cooling. As the ambient temperature sensor plays a direct role in the automated function of the AC system, when it is having a problem this may interfere with the system’s ability to cool the vehicle. If the ambient temperature sensor fails or is sending out an inconsistent signal, then the AC system may have trouble maintaining cool and comfortable cabin temperatures.

3. Incorrect reading on temperature gauge

Another more obvious symptom of a bad or failing sensor is an incorrect reading on the vehicle’s temperature gauge. Most vehicles will have some sort of display somewhere on the interior of the vehicle that indicates the outside temperature of the vehicle, usually read by the ambient temperature sensor. If the reading on the gauge or indicator is off by more than a few degrees, then the sensor should be replaced, as the incorrect reading may interfere with proper AC system functions.

The ambient temperature sensor plays an important role in the overall operation of the AC system. For this reason, if you suspect that your ambient temperature sensor has failed, or is having a problem.
Contact MOSBUS COOL to help inspect the AC system and replace the sensor if necessary.

@Mosbus @gazuz pls help me out.I need a good AC technician in Abuja or kaduna.....I await your reply tanks

NO I don't have sir.

Pls beware of this fault on your car air conditioning system.
If you ever noticed your air conditioning stops cooling when ever the weather is sunny.
Pls check your SOLAR SENSOR,possible cause the sensor might be dirty or maybe during the process of changing your evaporator the technician forgot to put it in the right position.
If you scan the air conditioner system it will give you this code B1421 this is common on Toyota e.g.lexus,Prius etc.

Run your air conditioner weekly.

On a weekly basis, turn the air conditioning on and let it run for approximately 10 minutes. Set the temperature to the coolest setting and the fan on the quickest speed. This will help to keep the gas pressure at its optimum level and the compressor in tiptop condition, reducing the chance of a mechanical problem from developing.

If your car’s air conditioning has a defrost setting, it is also worth running this for 10 minutes every week, to help to remove moisture from the system and thereby prevent the build-up of mildew. You’ll enjoy air conditioning that is fresher and less prone to emitting unpleasant smells that will affect the comfort and enjoyment of your journeys.

Car Air Conditioner Maintenance

Tips for maintaining a car air conditioner

Prolong the life of your air conditioner by running it at least once a week to assist in keeping the compressor seals lubricated, which will prevent refrigerant from leaking.

Your air conditioning system not only cools your vehicle, one of its primary functions is to remove humidity from the cabin. In other words, use your air conditioner in winter to keep your windscreen free from fog.

When driving on the open road it is always a good idea to have your car air conditioner set to "flow through" ventilation and not "recirculate". This is due to the fact that .5% by volume of CO2 is dangerous and mat cause drowsiness and headaches.
For any enquirers concerning your air conditioner contact mosbus cool.

Pls oga Mobus , I have a 1999 Camry, I just changed my compressor last week and during the installation, the previous one was frozen stiff, the technician had to vaccum the system to clear the line. I just observed today that the compressor has failed again. Now why is my Ac compressor always failing Technician said dirt is still in the system. Meanwhile he changed the compressor, condenser and drier at the same time. Am really in a fix on what to do. He is advicing that I buy a new compressor and condenser and that he will have.
to flush the system again. Am confused.

vacuuming a system doesn't mean you flushing the system line it simply means that you are sucking out the air in the system before refilling.
He is supposed to change the high pressure hose because most time the blockage comes from the hose.

Efe527:
My 2007 v6 camry compressor is bad and my ac technician is recommending I replace it with a Peugeot 508 compressor, your advice on this would be much appreciated...thank you
I am based in Benin bdw

pls don't try that,
Call me on 08026941215 because I want to get some fact.

MrBigiman:
How much would it cost me to fix AC in a C class 1999 model that has a bad system? Thanks

cant really tell,until when I see your car and I run a scan test.

bassEQ2000:
Can you come to ajala,after abule egba to do the vacuum and refilling.

LOL,am sorry I can't.

olumide4christ:
Bros...I wish I had come across your thread at the beginning of this year...I wouldn't have spent so so much money trying to repair my car A/C and yet it is not working now. I have given up on the A/C and will not repair it as I will soon sell the car by God's grace.

Anyway...now I know you, I won't make mistakes again. When I get my new car, I shall contact you immediately.

ok

mymotong:
We still got registrations today. Can you please mention the exact problem you are experiencing.

car air conditioning service

The system isn't working,I have been trying to register the system is showing error.

Pls be careful of people you give your cars to repair because some don't know the type of oil or materials to use. They assume all cars are the same forgetting they are different brands.
Pls beware.......ask questions

Zeroid105:
Pls, kindly explain how dirty cabin filter can damage d evaporator. Just curious.

Evaporator failures can usually be summed up in one word: leakage.This often happens because dust or other organic material enter the evaporator case when there is excess dirty on your cabin filter,the worst case is when there is no cabin filter in the case. This moist atmosphere causes decomposition of the organic materials, and can form caustic corrosive substances which can eventually perforate the surface of the evaporator. These same substances can also sometimes lead to an odor problem inside the vehicle, most noticeable when the system is first operated. The evaporator fins are also likely to get clog from dust or organic materials.
At time can cause your pipes to freeze up because your evaporator is clog,and air can't pass through the thinning evaporator fins.

AC of 93 Honda Ascot Innova (Honda Bullet) leaked out second day after filling.help

that is a serious leakage check the pipes,hoses and condenser,if there is know trace of oil spills around check the cabin evaporator.

afoife:
oga
my ac cools at will. sometimes it is doing well and at other times not cooling live in ibadan

what kind of car is it and year model.
But does it get cold when you drive faster.

chukel:
Please for your professional and top notch ac work, mosbus is the guy to call. Engaged his services and I must say I'm all smiles. From my experience with ac issues, it may be too early to commend him. But when u see a perfectly done work, you will know. Car ac restored to factory condition. Chills extraordinarily. System was vacuumed and recharged to specification using his Ecotechnic ECK 1500-N8 automatic refilling and recycling machine for car air conditioning. I'm really impressed. Nigerians are doing well. Just praying I get this satisfaction from the paint job I will do at pristineautos. Kudos moses. I will recommend people to you.

thanks bro........
