    Hi, 3 weeks ago, napansin ko lang na hindi na malamig yung aircon ng civic lxi '96 ko so pinatingin ko ito sa isang auto shop and they said normal pa daw yung pressure pero yung freon mababa na so kinargahan lang nila. After 2 weeks though naubusan nanaman siya ng lamig so pinacheck ko na talaga and linis.

    Since Sunday lang yung available time, sa auto-doctor na lang ako pumunta kasi yun yung may mga magandang reviews at kailangan ko na talaga gamitin yung sasakyan tuwing weekdays. They cleaned and leak tested everything. Evaporator, Compressor, Tubes and Condenser were pulled down and leak tested. They told me that everything is still fine and charged me for P4300 including change in drier but had a small discount so I got it for P3800 only. Yung sa drier pala naka bypass yung pressure switch so naka short lang yung wire and sinuggest nila na ipaayos ko yun sa electrical but until now di ko pa napaayos.

    Kinabukasan eh may tumutulo pa rin na transparent oil in small amounts PERO MALAMIG PA RIN PO YUNG AIRCON and I informed auto-doctor about it and idaan ko daw kasi may warranty from them. They checked it but wala silang makitang tumutulo kasi nga bihira lang siya tumulo so sabi daw nila obserbahan ko na lang muna kasi baka naman nasobrahan lng ng oil yung compressor at dahil MALAMIG PA RIN YUNG AIRCON. Hindi daw tatagal yung lamig kung may leak yung compressor. The day again after this eh may tulo pa rin siya ng oil and same amount lagi na minimal. So, kahapon dinala ko siya sa ibang shop at pinatingin sa ibang shop and they said nasa bandang pulley yung oil na tumutulo. Pinalift ko rin sa isa pang shop and nakita namin na sa pulley banda yung oil kasi doon yung wet area. The mechanic there told me that I should replace the oil seal. Sabi din pala ng mechanic sa pinatingnan ko kahapon eh kapag nileaktest nga yon eh hindi makikita, pero kapag pinaandar doon mo raw makikita kaya di nakita ng mga nagclean sa auto-doctor.

    Questions:
    1. Are they referring to the compressor SHAFT SEAL?
    2. Are they right about this na sa SHAFT SEAL yung problem?
    3. Can you suggest what should I do next? Replace the compressor or have it fixed?

    Salamat po ng marami!

    p.s.
    Few weeks after kong mabili yung second hand na car eh may tumutulo lagi sa garahe pero di siya ganoon kadami na parang 10-20 droplets lang a day. Hindi ko alam kung oil yun o moist na galing sa water na humahalo sa madumi kong pang ilalim kaya medyo madumi siya tingnan.

    what pulley are we talking about, sir? crankshaft pulley? compressor pulley?
    and what oil is it? is it really clear, colorless, aircon oil, or is it clean engine oil (that, even if new, still slightly colored?)
    other source of aircon leak include the fittings, and the service valves. sometimes, they forget to check these valves.

    and where is it i read before, that compressors can be repaired, but their expected service lives afterward are quite short..

    malamang nga shaft seal na nga yan tulad ng na-experience ko, at tama yung sinabi nung 2nd mechanic na di ito makikita sa static leak test, dahil ito ay dynamic lang meaning kung tumatakbo lang. katagalan mawawalan na din yan ng lamig dahil sasama din yung freon sa leak

    pinapalitan lang yan ng shaft seal, at ganun yung ginawa sa akin at tumagal din ng 2 yrs, pero nagleak ulit at ipinagawa ko ulit.

    sana ay makakuha ka ng mahusay na mechanic

    saang banda ba tumutulo at ano ang itsura ng tulo..este oil pala.
    sa AC compresor kasi white oil un transparent..
    sa makina naman .bunutin mo dipstick tingnan mo kung anong kulay at kung ganon din ba ung tulo na nakikita mo sa sahig.
    may langis din yan sa tranny kahit manual.

    obserbahan mo kung saang banda may tulo..

    maglatag ka ng dyaryo sa ilalim ng makina mo saka mo paandarin tsikot mo..saka mo tingnan kung saan tapat tumutulo..


    OT
