    galing ako kela mang mario kanina.. yung a/c ko kasi kulang sa lamig, paggabi or early morning lang ok then pagtanghali di talaga kaya.. ang ginawa lang ng mekaniko e tinignan yung freon level then qoute ng P6,300 for evaporator and labor.. wala akong pera so umuwi na muna ako.

    ask ko lang.. enough na ba yung ginawa nya para masabi nya na evaporator nga yung problem?

    vios 06 yung car ko.. salamat!

    He should have check the presure on both high and low side, check the aux fan operations if it's working, check for visible leaks at the very least before going to the evaporator which is the most cumbersome work.

    hmm i guess nacheck nya naman yung aux fan kasi under the hood lang naman yung (tama ba?).. hmm pano naman matitiyak yung evaporator ang sira? kelangan ba tong kalasin at i pressure check?

    mga magkano kaya evaporator ng vios? and pwede ko bang ipakabet jdm evaporator sa vios ko if ever..

    thanks!

    sa akin performance test muna at sa manifold gauge makikita kung kulang ang refrigerant .

    then leak test , gagamitan ko ng electronic leak detector specially sa evap , tago pa naman yan para sigurado

    siguro nagawa nila ito bago i point yung evaporator

    [SIZE=3]Tama ang ginawa niya to check on the Freon pressure. That is the correct procedure to diagnose the a/c system. You forgot to mention the result of the test. [/SIZE]
    [SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
    [SIZE=3]This should be following the next goal. If the a/c system is below the standard pressure, the question is why. This means there is a leak in the system. The technician should visually inspect all visible a/c lines. Hoses and piping. If there is none, There is this possibly it is in the evaporator. It is impossible for the refrigerant to leak out since the a/c system is a closed system. That is why he quoted for the evaporator replacement. [/SIZE]
    [SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
    [SIZE=3]Once you have your a/c done fixed. Make sure he will do pressure test of the evaporator unit, unless there is a positive visual refrigerant oil sticking on the evaporator unit.[/SIZE]
    [SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
    [SIZE=3]Please be aware that refrigerant is good for your health. Try avoiding smelling it.[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=3]I hope I gave you a sound advise. Thanks.[/SIZE]

    sabi mo sa gabi and early morning lang lumalamig yung A/C mo and sa tanghali d na kaya. pagmalamig yung outside temperature malamig din ang A/C mo pero pag mainit d na rin kayang lumamig posible causes nyan d gumagana ang Fan or marumi ang condenser fins mo or mahina na ang compression ng compressor.

    check mo yung fan kung gumagana... engine running... aircon ON... dapat automatic na aandar yung FAN ng car mo. pag naka ON ang A/C mo nage-engage ba ang clutch ng compressor then after a few second mag O-OFF? pag ganyang symptoms it's either kulang sa freon or sobra kaya bumibitaw ang pressure switch then mag o-OFF ang clutch.

    pa check mo rin kung ok pa yung compressor mo, baka mahina na yung compression kaya d na nag cicirculate ng maayos ang freon.
