    We had our car aircon serviced a couple of times, pagbalik ok naman, but after a week or two nawawala na ang lamig. What could be the cause of this?

    Baka panay ang pa-charge lang ng refrigerant. Ingat baka masira ang compressor.

    lately naging problema ko rin ang a/c ... "2 weeks wala na ang lamig" ... turned out to be very minute leak sa evaporator ... unang leak/pressure test pumasa, hindi lumabas ang leak, so ibinalik ang evaporator at kinargahan ng freon ... 2 weeks later nawala na ang lamig ... checked out compressor and pipe lines, ok naman ... ibinaba uli ang evaporator, it took about 10 minutes under air pressure under water before the leak appeared ... super liit ang leak, parang tuldok lang yung bubbles

    leak yan. kung yung dating gumawa e walang leak tester (as in they just remove the a/c parts then pressurize under water lang to look for bubbles) then they might not find the leak. lalo na pag ang leak sa compressor seal dapat yun may leak tester na gamit. it is a gas detector especially made to detect freon gases.

    or use a UV leak detector kit, u inject UV dye into ur system then use UV light to detect leaks. i have one n it works wonders, can even be used on other kinds of fluid leaks. bought one online for $100+

    dont know pero meron ata mahal lng masyado dto kaya i opt to buy online ganda pa ng quality, dun sa online meron dun larger quantities of dye. best is to ask around on a/c specialty shops.

    most likely me leak yan. I just had my aircon fixed kasi nga wala na yung lamig. Me ga tuldok na leak sa may pressure switch tapos replaced din yung mga old orings (tama ba?) para maiwasan leaks.

    there is a leak definitely on the system. just have your aircon shop perform a leak test. also, if possible, wag nyo apurahin ang pag-observe kung may leak nga. like what the other forumers have already said, minute or pinhole leaks are really very hard to trace

    brought mine to sir mario's. Pareho tayo reklamo but mine is only good for three days tapos wala na lamig. Turned out that there was a leak sa mga turnilyo o dugtungan ng tubo. ayun, hinang and kabit ng anak ni sir mario, ok pa din hanggang ngayon. last Feb pa yun.

    Cost me 200 petot for the hinang, replacement of fixed turnilyo and lagay ng freon.
