    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...

    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?

    ~ 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

    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

    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.

    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 ?
