    patulong mga peeps baka may idea kayo kung ano problema ng kia carnival ko.
    pag start malamig ang aircon pero after a few minutes hindi na gumagana ang compressor. variable ang tinatagal, kung minsan 20, kung minsan halos isang oras bago mawala yung lamig. suspect ng technician yung relay kasi pag nirekta yung compressor gumagana naman at saka pag namatayan ng aircon, pag tinanggal yung relay tsaka ibalik after a few minutes gumagana ulit. kakarga lang din ng refrigerant.

    thanks in advance

    I second the motion... Not to mention the loss of cool air which makes the passengers uncomfortable when the problem strikes...

    Check maybe the line is freezing. Then when you off your a/c for a few minutes then on it again if its cool again then better check you thermostat. Its not functioning. The compressor is keep on running without tripping then the line starting to freeze and lose the coolness.

nawawala ang lamig after a few kilometers
