    Dear fellow tsikoters,

    Does anybody know the major causes of insuffecient cooling in car aircon. My van with dual air con feels it needs some time to cool the cabin(hilaw) although kaya naman kahit puno pero compared to my sedan with single unit mas offensive ang cooling. System has been cleaned(i.e. pulldown evaporator and gauges pressure seems to point to normal). Hope you can help.

    -low freon
    -filter drier need replacement
    -expansion valve
    The expansion valve is an intricate part 0f the aircon system.It causes the freon gas to expand which in effect cools the evaporator which is fanned by the blower to the cars aircon ducts.If the expansion valve is blocked the aircon system would not reach it's optimum cooling capacity or worse not be able to cool the evaporator at all. -shoven888 member of topgear phil

    yung sa akin, stuck up a/c fan ang nakita ni mang mario two weeks ago kaya konti lang lamig ng a/c ko.
    pinalitan ng brand new tapos general cleaning na rin ang ginawa and reload ng freon, ayos na! P2,400 ang nagastos ko. P700 daw kung palinis lang.

    Is there a way to check this, because replacing the expansion valves requires once more pulling down the evaporators which is difficult work. By the way thanks to all who responded to my querie.

    insufficient cooling of aircon radiators. sometimes akala natin kasi umi-ikot yung fans ok na. peru wala na palang hangin o sobrang hina na yung fan sa condensers...

    Starex 98, mine has twin sunroofs so the evaporator is different at the back
