slow to cool aircon

[dx8976]

what could be the reason for it to take as much as 5 minutes before the aircon starts to get cold?


when the aircon is turned on, malamig naman ang hangin, but not as cold as i think it should be, after around 5-10 minutes then the temperature reaches level i like.

Pa check mo sa aircon service center baka kulang sa charge ng freon

[smalltimer]

baka sa temp sensor mo kaya hindi pa gumagana compressor

sir, napalitan na ba ng evaporator yan, kasi kung napalitan na at fabricated lang yung evaporator medyo matagal lumamig.

[johnart]

when was the last time your aircon system was serviced ?

[dx8976]

im actually planning to have the a/c serviced soon, just wanted some ideas on what should be checked to ensure the technician doesnt miss it. TY!

[theveed]

Well, a couple of things you can check for yourself.

Try pouring water onto the condenser as soon as you start the AC, if it cools fast, then your aux fans may be slow or condenser may be too dirty (clean the fins).

But your symptoms may be as simple as a dirty evaporator... possible din baka nagbabara na expansion valve mo.

I suggest you bring it to Zeagle's shop (Denso Coolmate)

si mang mario ang katapat niyan!!!

ahem... yung sinabi ni sir theeved.. este theveed.. very true yun kasi sakin pag ka nag pa engine wash at sabay pa clean yung condenser ang ginaw na ng aircon ko and to think tapos na din ako ng pa cleaning sa evaporator ko sabay change ng freon ko.. so dahil malinis na yung condenser ko tapos okey lng yun buga ng condenser fan.. ayun gumanaw na sya ng mabilis.. baka minor prob lng yan bro possible cause nga sa akin is yung di gaano maginaw kasi dinadaya ako sa freon hindi sakto yung freon na nilagay.. pa check mo na din kung may leak tapos yung condition ng a/c linya, evaporator, condenser, fan and fan ng aircon etc. gud luck!

di kaya talgang mainit ngayun ang panahon?

[jim]

ok nga yan aircon mo at least lumalamig. sa akin naman malamig tapos nawawala ang lamig. napansin ko mahina ikot ng fan tapos di ko na makita yung flow ng freon sa evaporator. time to go to my trusted aircon shop and flush the system, change evaporator, charge freon and to fix the fan.

[attic_dude]

di kaya talgang mainit ngayun ang panahon?

factor din yan sa tingin ko. before feb, yung aircon ko nasa 26 deg lang di ko tinataasan, ngayon i put it na sa 24-22 deg para lang malamig sa cabin. (pero during lunch time naman to, when it gets really hot, around 11am - 2pm onwards)

[dx8976]

how do i locate the condenser?

lately kay ang mario kami nagpapagawa ng a/c, would it be better sa coolmate?
i'm unsure kung denso ang a/c, would it matter?
sa la fuerza ba yung coolmate? is that near rats?

TY

[sirkosero]

hmmm... thats new.... di nagawa nila mang mario ang air-con mo? first time ako nakabasa ng ganito ah...

[dx8976]

this problem car has not yet been to mang mario.

although i had one before na ilang ulit din bago nila nasolve, although i am satisfied with their work naman. kahit na 3 balik, at least mabait yung nagasikaso and no charge na sa huling balik.

maganda ata coolmate or Denso

yung condenser before mo makita radiator may maliit na box kagaya dun sa likod ng ref nyo.. nka dikit yung intake fan doon.. depende sa model ng sasakyan mo ah..

[theveed]

Yes, Coolmate denso yung sa Pasong Tamo, you can PM Zeagle about it, sila may hawak. A lot of Benzes and BMWs go there as well.

Yung condenser parang radiator na manipis in between the grille and the radiator itself.

[dx8976]

had it checked by over at mario's and they did some cleaning and freon charge. so far, nawala yung bad smell sa start and cooling has been more consistent. will try coolmate next time.

follow up question lang, may nakita ako sa service manual something about a microfilter for the a/c. ano yun?

TY.

[theveed]

microfilter, di ko sure sa BMW, pero sa Nissan may extra filter lang before the inlet of the blower para di umabot sa evaporator ang dumi...

Think of it as the A/C filter you have at home that you can pull out for cleaning.

[finchy18]

hi theveed! my aircon filter ba yun corolla mo?
