The Importance of Car Air-Conditioner Maintenance
by mosbus cool
If your car has an air conditioner, and it most likely does, then it is important to get routine maintenance done on it. Many people don’t think much about their car air conditioner until they need it and it’s not performing correctly. But the best way to keep it performing at its best is to get routine maintenance done as needed.

Routine maintenance is important for every car air conditioner for several reasons, including:

• Keeping it cool. There are a number of problems that can lead to an air conditioner not working as well as it should. Before it becomes a problem these issues can usually be addressed through routine maintenance. That way you never miss a beat in the heat.
• Keeping it clean. When you have a clean air conditioning unit you will help to keep it in good running order. Routine maintenance will keep the hoses and belt clean and running as they should.
• Keeping it from getting worse. Routine maintenance on your car air conditioner will help us catch problems right away, rather than them compounding and getting worse. The sooner you can catch and fix a problem, the better off you will be in the long run.
• Keeping up the value. You paid additional money to have an air conditioner in your vehicle. The good news is that it will help keep the value of your car up if you take care of it. Once you go to sell the vehicle it is a plus if you can demonstrate that you have had routine maintenance performed, including having it done on the car air conditioner.
• Keeping you comfortable. One of the best reasons to keep up on air conditioning maintenance is so that you can actually enjoy the cool air. Being able to beat the heat on a hot summer day is worth the little bit of effort it takes to keep your car’s air conditioner maintained.

It is a 2010 Honda Accord, honestly given the testimony I have seen on your thread I would definitely love to come over, but I am so busy right now, more reason why I'm frustrated I had to do this again. I'll bell you though and try to fix an appointment

No problem sir,I will be glad to see you around.

wizard007:
I refilled my A/C gas like a week ago, was driving down from Marina to Ikorodu last night and it was working perfectly until I got to mile 12 and I didn't feel the coldness again, switches it off and on thrice, still no changes. Before it was refilled the technician that worked on it last year told me there's a rubber ring that leaks it, so he traveled out the new guy I gave it to I told him about the problem and he said he changed it, I'm so furious now, cos it's frustrating going up and down a service workshop. What could possible be the lasting solution to this?

there is still leakage in the system,what kind of car is it.the leakage is not from the O-ring,can you bring it to my workshop,leakage testing is free for now till 10/3/2017.I assure you the leakage problem will be solved with warranty.

We are running free leakage diagnosing test this week offer end 11/3/2016

jodeci:
Yes,factory air condition. Nissan pathfinder 2007.

Service your nozzles and throttle head.give me a feed back if that has been done

jodeci:
Why does my engine vibrate when ever my ac switches off. It only happens when Ac switches Off.

What kind of car is it,and I hope is a factory air conditioning.

A/C Compressors: Why the right oil matters
A/C Compressor oil is the biggest cause of product failure.
Maintenance and repair of automotive air-conditioning (A/C) units, either manually or automatically controlled, represent a real expansion opportunity for garages and workshops. Indepth technical knowledge of A/C systems, common faults, recommended components and oils are all essential to achieve customer satisfaction and build return business.
Central to this technical know-how is a comprehensive knowledge of compressors. This is because 99.9% of all compressor problems are not related to product failure, but from a poor understanding of A/C system operation, maintenance and repair.
But there is one aspect in particular that causes the majority of avoidable A/C Compressor problems is the oil.
Universal oil: a key cause of compressor failure
Compressors are vital to a vehicle’s A/C system; compressing the low temperature, low pressure gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator, into a high temperature, high pressure gaseous refrigerant, and discharging it to the condenser.
Oil in the A/C system is essential, primarily to lubricate moving parts, i.e. the compressor and the expansion valve needle. It also enables heat to escape from the compressor. As with refrigerant, oil in the A/C system must retain its chemical stability.
However, it is vital to choose the right oil for the job. Insufficient lubrication due to universal oil is the second most frequent reason for A/C compressor damage and failure.
What are the pitfalls of universal oil?
The use of incorrect oils, such as universal oils or oil mixtures, inevitably leads to A/C compressor damage. This is because universal oils, often preferred by garages, are PAO-oils, or mineral oils with a different viscosity than synthetic PAG-oils. The difference between these two types of oil means that they do not mix, leading to poor lubrication, damaged seals and increased wear.
If the oil is diluted, the lubricant base layer decreases. This results in the piston rubbing against the cylinder bearing surface. If the oil is too thick, it is unable to ‘squeeze’ between the cylinder and the piston. change in the oil viscosity can result in more frictional resistance, leading to an increase in compressor temperature and subsequent seizure.
Blending or mixing of different types of oils may lead to the formation of paraffin. This can block the flow of the refrigerant and oil, leading to seizure of the compressor and system failure.
Quantity as important as quality
It is not only the quality, but the quantity of oil in the system that is of great importance. Too little oil leads to poor lubrication of the compressor, rising component temperature and oil scorching on the suction side of the compressor. Too much oil in the system will increase the load on the piston-crank system, which can lead to a block in the body of the thrust bearing and the hard front piston co-pivotable skid plate.
Is the oil filtered?
It is also essential that any solid impurities in the compressor oil are removed in the filter-dryer. The filter-dryer will also capture moisture from the oil. As part of the annual maintenance of the A/C system, it is equally vital to remove a proportion of the oil, replacing it with the same quantity of fresh oil.

its a toyota camry 2000 it does not use cabin filter. the cooling is not what i want.
i believe its low on gas just my layman submission

in that case make sure you check for leakage before refilling,bcuz there is a leakage that is why your gas is low,and also they need to vacuum the system before refilling

depair:
pls i hear hissing sound from the vent when the ac is running pls what is the cause and solution if any?

What kind of car is it,well possible cause is if your cabin filter very dirty and secondly is if some of your vent is not opened properly.Pls those your car cool very well despite the hissing sound your hearing.

nickxtra:
Air blows out of one of the air vents in my car (the driver's side) when the car is in motion, but without the AC on. Any cause for alarm, sir?

What kind of car is it,and I hope your air recycling switch is not off,bcuz in most cases when the switch is off there is a door inside the engine room in which the switch controls,once the door is opened the air from your engine will be passing through.so confirm the switch and put it ON
Here is the switch below

Bro @mosbos, I just want to thank you for a job well done. My Accord A.C is now cooling like I'm sitting down in a 'cold room' nak3d. I never thought an AC technician will have an actual infrared thermometer, when compared to 'a kaseem' "feel and tell" (e don dey cool, oya come touch am). I was very impressed, keep up the good work bro.

Thanks for your patronage.

Thanks

captainking:
Ur number is not connecting.. I stay very close to your side.. Precisely at ire kari.. Transformer bus-stop enroute ilasa Road.. I would like to visit you.. Cos my ac I filled last week just finished.. Thanks... Holla back pls..

stanlotion:
Morning Op, thanks for this cool thread.


I have a toyota camry. The A/C has been good until recently. Once I put on the A/C through the knob, the A/C button comes on with a green light and starts working, but sooner, the green light starts blinking and the compressor cuts off. I have been advised to run the wire to the Knob or change the A/C button totally. Please advise.

Blinking is an error signal, it could mean low compression from the compressor, lack of torque from engine, faulty pressure switch...... and so on. do not connect any funny wires, take vehicle to a technician that can explain what the blink is.
Experienced the same problem yesterday. Ac tech said my compressor has failed. Is he right??

your compressor is very good,the sensor that senses torque from your compressor is faulty,the sensor is located under your compressor.fill free to call me is you can't locate it 08026941215

GAZZUZZ:
Pipes icing up is not normal.

You right Isn't normal the system needs to be vacuum,there is excess of air inside the system,
So pls look for a technician that has vacuum machine before you damage your compressor.fill free to call me for any more questions 08026941215
