Aircon Repair: Mario Reyes

**Rats** · March 25th, 2007 09:34 PM

Nagpa-cleaning ako ng aircon ng adventure kina Mang Mario. Binaba yung evaporator assembly sa may likod ng dashboard compartment pati yung buong overhead assembly sa gitna ng sasakyan. Si Mang Mario mismo naglinis nung mga cooling fins ng evaporator although tauhan niya ang nagtatanggal-kabit sa sasakyan. Okay naman experience ko sa kanila. Lumamig at lumakas buga ng hangin kesa dati. Ang dumi na pala after 5 and a half years since nabili yung sasakyan ko

Is it necessary to have your aircon clean every year and may significant change ba sa lamig kung papalinis mo every year kung wala naman problema.

have a problem sa dual aircon ko, un harap na aircon lumalamig, un sa likod fan lang

In my old Besta, MM traced the problem to a faulty expansion valve.

panu ba maglinis ng aircon na european car si mang mario?

Dunno about the Vito L but for the MB100, Revo, Volvo 850, and a host of other vehicles, tanggal dashboard talaga.

Mga '97 din ako nag-start kay Mang Mario. College days.

I was there last Monday. Pa-check ko lang yung idle up ng Land Cruiser before handing it over to the new owner.

Been to Mang Mario this morning kasi nawala na naman ang lamig ng ac ko blower lang, the first time I brought my ride sa kanya ang mga sintomas is pag natraffic humihina ang lamig pag tumakbo na medyo ok na uli hanggang sa mawala na talaga ang lamig, pinalitan ang magnetic kasi sira na raw, at kung gusto ko raw palitan narin ang belt dahil luma na rin so palit din, after two weeks while cruising along Quirino avenue sa manila biglang nawala lamig as in totally dead the following day dinala ko uli kila mang mar and long found out na patid ang fan belt sabi ko bago yan last two weeks lang pinalitan so ater palitan ulit ng bago fan belt ok na ulit hanggang after a month bumigay ulit at dinala ko nga kanina the culprit daw is the evaporator kasi nag leak test sila sumusuka na raw ng langis at di na pede iwelding so binigyan ako ng option ni Mrs. ang original daw na evaporator is 6800 with labor oil and freon charging na raw and the other option is the fabricated na 2800 with everything na rin piliin ko na sana yung fabricated kaya lang di daw kagaya ng lamig dati bawas daw compared sa original na babalik ang dating lamig so kahit sagad na sa budget pinili ko na ang original at pinalitan nga kaya lang parang di ako satisfied sa lamig niya para bang hilaw, pag tumatakbo nako saka lang siya lalamig pero pag naka sotp parang kulang, What do you thingk peeps? Dapat di ba kahit nakahinto ka o tumatakbo ay same lang ang lamig? I will still observed it pa ng ilang days bago ko ibalik kila mang mar. One more thing pag nagrerev ako ng medyo halfway na umiingay ang fan belt sana mawala di naman ito ganito dati.
Before I forget nakatwad nga pala ako kay Mrs nung una 6500 nalang daw from 6800 eh talagang sagad na sabi ko 6000 nalang sarado pumayag naman, sO I thank her.
