Good afternoon, ladies and gentle moimoi I was gifted a vehicle recently and I need advice on how to fix its air conditioning system. I don't even know if it's still working or not coz I tried to switch it on a couple times, air vents were just releasing dust and lizard poo

If in Lagos, contact mosbus

Let them vacuum your air system to check for leaks first, then fix the leaks, they also check if your compressor is also good before they can fill in right refrigerant

Who does vacuuming of AC in Benin city

i already tested the compressor and it seems fine. The clutch didn't engage at first but when I used a special wire directly from the battery, it engaged. It rotated with the pulley perfectly and the compressor didn't make funny sounds so i guess the coil is still intact but it still keeps blowing hot air. It might be a low refrigerant or probably leaks as you said or air cleaner blocked(very unlikely).

Take it to a competent AC person. First he should drop the compressor and empty the oil in it. Then fill with the correct quantity of oil recommend for your car. This would also give you an insight as to the health of your compressor by looking inside the discharge and suction holes.
Then he should couple it and pull a vacuum. Though this might not be possible in your location. Check for leakages. Then fill gas and also check for leakages. The truth is that you will have to drive it for a while to know if any other fault will surface.
Good luck.

take it to an ac repair shop let them check for leaks since you say the compressor is working well. Let them fill in the right refrigerant
