Car Talk › Re: "Decarbonising Your Engine With Water" Whats Your Take? by Piyke: 8:08pm On Mar 10, 2016
Kashif:
Okay sir, but am not sure I am going to try that. What if the cylinder suffers thermal shock?
Ran into this a few weeks back. Some suggested using a spray device to make the water a mist, thus minimising the risks.
I respect Eric a lot, but...not bold enough to attempt this.
Let me await Gazzuzz's experiment.

Siena any thoughts?

WITH THE SYSTEM UNDER VACUUM, IE HAVING VACUMMED THE SYSTEM..U CAN REFILL QWUICKLY tru the side..by adding liquid refrigrant...the car must be off...turn the can upside down...the vacuum will suck in the liquid through the high side...very fast...u reduce ur refill time from the average 45mins to abt 15mins...using this method..

its best you use a weight balance to measure out the excat qty of refrigant specified for your car.
congrats on ur aquisition...i bought mine 2yrs ago.....n never let those clowns called ac techs touch my ac again [refill]
Thanks Earthrealm, for now I'll leave high-side charging for the pros wink will be managing the longer charge time through the low-side. I'm a very patient person cheesy
But seriously I read on one HVAC forum that depending on the proximity of the high-side port to the compressor, damage can still after liquid charging when the car is started.
I actually added 539g of refrigerant using a scale. A full charge is 500-550g for the 2003 -2007 4cyl Accord.

Piyke is living my dream. I tried to get a set of those to no avail.

I thought a two-stage pump is better for AC works? (though not easy to find).
More expensive and added to what mayor just said single stage is perfect for this kind of work.

OK. Weldone pyike. Please how did you introduce the oil into the system and at what point. U haven't responded to my pm.
Oil is introduced after you have placed a vacuum on the system. Measure out the oil, add it to the yellow service line, connect to refrigerant can, purge air, and then charge.
Responding to your pm...

Sorry I missed this earlier. Would be happy to assist for a small fee especially if it would require me charging the system. Are you in Owerri?
Car Talk › Re: I'm Now Ready For AC Work! by Piyke(op): 12:43am On Mar 09, 2016
chukel:
Pyike, I read ur blog. Weldone. But I tend to disagree with the way u filled your gas. I was made to understand that liquid refrigerant must not go into the low side pressure valve. Only the high side pressure valve should take that. As a result, if u are recharging through the low side valve, u don't turn the can. U only leave at 12 O'clock position as turning it will introduce liquid refrigerant. Also read that recharging through the low side alone takes a long time. Charging through the high side is only done with vehicle off and can turned upside down. I still stand to be corrected. I sent u a pm.
I simply followed the directions on the refrigerant can. The Harp gas (made in UK) says alternate between 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock every 2-3 seconds. Charging through the low side as gas does take longer, but for now I prefer to stick to that as I am not conversant with charging via high side.
But going by first principles, if you intend to charge through the high side with the engine off, I doubt that this small can will have enough pressure to deliver the total amount of charge to the system. It will probably deliver to a point and stop. The compressor plays a big role in drawing in refrigerant into the system except you are using one of those charging stations.

I was in Lagos recently and picked up all I need to correctly charge an AC system! Thanks to Gazzuzz who gave me the right market to get these in Lag.

https://www.diyautoworksng.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/20160305_142735.jpg

I've already used the tools to give the perfect charge to my AC. I documented the DIY procedure here: http://www.diyautoworksng.com/recharge-car-ac-system/

I had to do this because when my magnetic clutch was replaced 3 years ago, no vacuum was applied on the system angry. I just couldn't find a shop with a vacuum pump. Now I know better.

My cabin now feels like trekking unclothed in Antarctica cheesy

Car Talk › Re: Washing Automobile Mechanical Parts With Petrol; Is It Really Wrong? by Piyke: 3:00pm On Mar 05, 2016
mayor2013:
Basically the use of either of the mentioned products( petrol or kerosene) by the "op" should be dependent on the part or the component to be washed.

@ sienna would you use old diesel to wash excess of grease that finds its way out of drive shaft housing as a result of a torn shaft protector splashing all over chassis, oil drop pan, belly housing etc. Diesel is sticky so therefore if in a situation where its used to wash out excess of grease in this case, don't you think the sticky nature would attract lot of sand when the car is being driven therefore making the bottom of the car more messy and uncomfortable for any technician to work on?
For washing off oil and grease from the chassis and the engine in general I tend to use engine degreaser. Although it can be hard to come by sometimes in Nigeria.
This is off topic though as its not used for engine parts per say.

It would be nice if the work could go on as planned. Hoping that all that have the money available can pay up while we trust God's provision for those that do not.

Politics › Re: Buhari Jets Out To Saudi Arabia, Qatar by Piyke: 12:08pm On Feb 22, 2016
I am yet to hear the government declare an emergency plan tasked with identifying, fast-tracking and making market-ready, raw resources in this country that are in high demand in the international market. Just the other day I heard Shea butter is in high demand (didn't confirm though).

To continue to focus on oil with no plan for commodities that would increase our dollar income is really not the best.

The question I expect the government to answer is; what commodities can we bring to the international market within the next 1 - 4months and how do we make it happen?

Help Help. My sister vokswagen passat has issues. She initially started seeing oil in her radiator compartment. A mechanic said the radiator was bad. A new radiator was bought, later the gear stopped working. The mechanic said water must have destroyed the gear system cause water entered the gear oil. What can we do, it's a 1999 model automatic transmission. Who know a good vokwagen mechanic around surulere, like how much will it cost. Help, help, help.
