Aircon di kinakaya pag mainit

[ParticleX]

Terrano JDM. Nung unang kuha manginginig ka talaga sa lamig, pero ngayon hilaw ang lamig. Hindi pa pala nakakatikim ng cleaning ito for 7 years

Malamig kung maganda panahon, pero pag tanghaling tapat or kahit hapon hindi malamig
Hilaw pa rin ang lamig kahit at highway speeds pag mainit
Hilaw din kahit buhusan mo ang condenser
Drier(?) yung contraption na may glass may bubbles
May nakabalandrang tube sa side ng air filter ko, so when I check it once in a while, pag ginalaw ko yun may sumisingaw (freon?), also may kakilala ako na sinabing hinawakan nya isa pang metal tube almost above the engine bay, dapat daw malamig yon. I see it dripping although at a very slow rate.
Sa center console, yung left air duct parang hangin lang, while yung right malamig, plus parang may lumalabas na hangin from the footwell kahit hindi nakadepress yung switch para don.

So rule out compressor? Possible dun sa tubings na i've mentioned? Possible din na sira na ang evaporator?
Magkano kaya to have these tubings replaced, cleaning, at flushing ng system? Estimated cost ng evaporator?

[ghosthunter]

We can keep on guessing all week. But why not just have it checked over at an auto-aircon shop? It doesn't cost much for a check to be done and you'll know what is really the problem with your AC.

Call this number 984-4881 and look for Anthony of CoolSpeck. At least you can have idea how much it will cost you.

malaman sir may leak dun sa may drier... dba kamo may sumisingaw pag ginalaw nyo.... baka loose lang ang fittings...

[mitzusu4DJ1]

Sulit ka na diyan 7years, pa servisan mo na, kung butas ang evaporator around 4k yon mataas na yon, ang refrigerant 134a ngayon nasa 500/kilo nalang, ang mahal diyan yun talent fee ng gagawa...

[miko101130]

pa general service mo aircon system...
-check for leaks sa system
-check clutch fan mo kung ok pa( pinapalitan talaga iyan, it will cause high pressure sa system pag madulas na kaya mahina lamig.)
-check the compressor itself ( ok pa ba yung pressure generated at both Low side and High side)
-check the condenser ( baka madumi na puro insect at mga dahon dahon at iba pang dumi) less airflow kaya hihina exhange ng heat ng freon)
-check if freon is at correct level( baka kulang lang, pag kulang meh leak yan)
-check and clean you cooling coil ( baka madame na din dumi o alikabok, at meh mga flux residue sa fins kaya again less airflow)
-check the drier/humidifier ( napapalitan din yan)
-check expansion valve ( baka madumi na at barado ) be sure na orig na expansion valve lalagay

madame shops gumagamit ng china na freon o kaya mga unknown brands.... mas ok if US brands dapat makita mo yung tank nila ng parang gasul na maliit... wag ka papayag pag freon eh galing sa isang canister that looks like refillable... baka peke yun..

Sumaglit ako sa Evangelista kanina, pumunta ako sa Maroon Car Aircon (Dallas st., left side if coming from EDSA). Eto quote sakin:

Suction hose Php900
Discharge hose Php900
Labor, freon, cleaning, flushing Php1800

Di ako nakapagpa pressure and leak test kasi lakas ng ulan kanina. Kulang nga ang freon. Ok naman yung prices above?

[kinyo]

I just had my car checked for a similar problem. It was found to be simply low on freon. The car is also 7-yr old and never had aircon service.

Ganyan talaga ang presyuhan sa City, mataas ang patong nila.

Sure bang my leak ang suction hose, bihira lang nasisira yon, ang malimit masira Discharge Hose. Kung walang patong 80/ft ang hose ang crimping 50pesos each, 500 lang dapat ang discharge hose assembly.

Sabihin mo sa shop kung marami ka sanang pera sa Rapide ka sana nagpapagawa ng sasakyan

ayaw lumamig kapag mainit panahon? lumalamig ngunit bitin kapag malamig panahon?
typical symptom of low freon.
but that's the easy part. the hard and potentially expensive part is, why are you low on freon? looking for the leak is the difficult part. it may be as cheap as improperly set valve. or as expensive as worn compressor. have it checked. if you don't believe the first check, have it checked by another shop, preferably not in evangelista.. baka mag-tawagan lang, e..

you haven't leak tested yet, and they are already saying you should have your hoses replaced??

I was the one who wanted to replace both hoses and fittings na lang since alam mo naman when they convert JDM vehicles, typical cut and weld, hanging freely yung suction hose near my turbo (also a year ago I had a hard time steering the vehicle, the pipe interfered with the steering gearbox ) , while my discharge hose ay nakaharang sa air filter ko and when I move it, may hissing sound which I suspect is freon.

I'd still have it tested for leaks first. Yun nga lang kahit 2kms away lang ako from Evangelista eh walang oras to have it checked. Siguro pag pumasok na ang summer months at nabwisit na ako eh dun ko pa lang ipapaaayos :D

Request muna ako opinions from other shops

papalitan mo na nga sir mga hose... a.c. flexible hose usually last for 5-7 years lang.... (especially sa area ng comprerssor) katagalan nagiging brittle na po... and be sure din pag pinalitan hindi kumikiskis kung saan... pag simulan po ng leak yun...

[ParticleX]

Finally napagawa ko na, replaced discharge hose and fittings, top up ng freon, replace ng aux fan relays (gumagana na ulit yung dalawa) sa suking mekaniko. php1.1k cost

~ 13 year old honda CRV 2.0 liter. exactly ganoon ang symptoms. It all happened one day when biglang walang lamig. busy ako so pina ayos ko sa relative ko na amatuer mechanic. pumunta sya sa local aircon repair shop owned by his friend. butas evaporator. new evaporator + freon + labor cost 6000. symptoms like the above happened after ma ayos.

so since humina ang aircon after ma replace ang evaporator I assume na either maliit/low quality made in china ang evaporator or maybe somethings wrong with the freon. magkano kaya ayusin ito, using a good quality evaporator?

it should have been a back job right? there could be a slow leak in your system, have it rechecked

[vmaldia]

its been a couple of weeks. the quality of the cooling ahs not changed. doesnt that suggest that its not a leak? of course only checking the freon with a shop's meters and guages will show it for sure

may leak na yan sir ala na freon kaya hindi na malamig.

Nagpa cleaning ako kahapon, binalik sakin ng malamig (no. 1 na lang sa gabi kasi lumamig ng husto, dati no.2 pa) and medyo lumakas ang blower. Kaninang umaga, tinanggal ko yung resistor block(?) sa evaporator para macheck kung pinull down nga talaga nila (actually iniwan ko lang yung sasakyan, kasi may minor latero works pa), and malinis naman evaporator. Umalis ako ng mga 8am to MOA. Pagbalik ko ng mga 11am, may nakita na akong tubig dripping from the evap, i dismissed it as normal, pero yung lamig ng aircon humina ng husto, until halos mapuno na yung passenger floor mat. Pinacheck ko ulit sa kanila and barado daw yung drain, halos mapuno na yung evaporator, and nung nilinis yung drain hose eh sobrang lamig na tubig yung lumabas.

May dapat pa bang ireplace dito? kasi nung umalis ako ng shop (after declogging the drain hose) eh hindi pa rin masyado malamig, or nagkataon lang na sobrang init kaninang tanghali? Tignan ko tomorrow morning if ganun pa rin yung lamig nya.

[sotel]

mga sir ganun dn ung liteace ko pag tanghaling tapat hindi lumalamig ung buga pero pag hapon o kaya umaga e sobrang lamig naman, madalas mag automatic na mamatay ung compresor pag umaga o kaya hapon pero pag tanghaling tapat never na mag automatic na mamatay, kakapalit lang dn ung rear evaporator,
sa tingin niyo po mga sir kulang lang po kaya ng freon ?
