MOTIONTECH:
if your AC is not cooling anymore no be to top gas, bring it to us the technician to diagnosis it first

autologic:
Dont put the cart before the horse ,the first step in right direction is to find out why the ac is not cooling fine.Of what use is the best gas in the world (if such exist ) wen the system is already compromised.

Car was parked for 10 months toyota camry 2009 XLE V6 .. the first day I drove it, noticed the AC is blowing hot air ... I immediately went for a refill , after the refill, the Cold air wasn't top notch, also the drivers vent was blowing warm air , but the other vents was blowing cold air ... The AC guy suggested my valve wasn't good , he suggested I should drive it around for a day and give him feedback, a day later all the vents started blowing hot air , I went back to his garage he removed the radiator and Condenser , he checked the Compressor , from his diagnosis he said the compressor is bad .. that it's turning almost at will ( free will) ... He suggested I should change the compressor and condenser also the valve. .. he suggested manual Compressor , that the Automatic compressor will pack up real soon .... When we went to buy the Automatic compressor like I insisted , on getting to the Tokunbo shop , the sellers said they won't give me any warranty for the compressor, it's at owners risk ... Please what's you guys suggestions What happened to my Ac is it a packed up Compressor Should I go about getting the manual Compressor fitted

MOTIONTECH:
where is your location first?

autologic:
There is no definite standard test done that proof that you have a bad compressor .u need to understand the strategy of this local ac guy about issue fixing :f they are not able to figure out whatever is wrong, they will suggest swapping out the whole system.
Take you car to recommended technician that can perform standard test that tell you with 100% assurance whatever is wrong with your ac .
Standard Diagnosis of ac system will involve using ac manifold Guage to observe the two low and high pressure side depicted below,anything short of this is not acceptable.

I am in Aba

Kingsdave:
Thanks for the advice... But there is no AC Technician with fancy gadget around here ... They are all local guys

MOTIONTECH:

went to my mechanic on Saturday,narrated my ordeal , he called an AC guy , he told me the guy knows his onions , the guy came , I narrated everything to me , he told me from what he understands my compressor isn't bad at all, he opened my bonnet checked the Ac told me there was no oil in it... He recommended ND 11 oil for it , he told me those guys used cheap harsh gas for me , he said I'm lucky it would have cost me my compressor cos the compressor uses sensor , he asked if I perceived any gaseous smell when I on the AC ,I said no , he said my evaporator is good ,he told me my seals are one also the condenser bolt are broken , probably from the first guys that checked it out , they broke it and left it like that for me , he said I will change the condenser , I was like protesting , thinking it was another antics, he gave in and tried filling the gas, I was told to on my car Ac , when I on the AC there was little blast like sound , I thought a hose blasted, it was the condenser , he removed it and he performed a test told me to keep my finger close to one of the two holes , if he blows in air into one hole and it come out of the other , then it's good .. he did and no air came out.. he recommended I buy a new condenser , I bought a condenser and we did the test and air came out .. he fixed it , also fixed the seal and recharged the gas , the car is mortuary standard now ... He told me the other guys wanted to play games with me , they would have ripped me off without getting any solution.. he said it was just oil , good refrigerant and condenser was the problem

WycliffeSMB:
Pls can you direct me to this same AC technician who fixed yours?

I'm also in Aba.

Kingsdave:
Would have helped , but I lost my phone in August, I'm not in aba currently , don't make a mistake of going to Alaoji to sort out the issue , Dem go add additional problem to it... Find an independent Ac tech guy around anywhere,or ask any mechanic around to recommend one for you ,it was my mechanic that referred him ...
