    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?

    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.

    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...

    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?

    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??
