Should I Blame the A/C?

[lowrider03]

Guys share ko lang experience ko sa oto ko,

I got this car since college a toyota corolla xe big body..

Pag hindi ako nka aircon ok ang takbo "smooth", but pag ON ko na A/C prang hirap na sya umarangkada..

what should i do?

ano kya problema nito?

The compressor might need to be checked.

perhaps it is oil starved? just recently, I learn from an expert here about the freon/oil ratio. it seems my a/c technician is oil starving our compressors for more than 50% it really needs.

I was thinking it would be the bearings.

Cguro pa check ko na nga A/C as well as compresor..

Bearing saan?

Two places where the bearings could have started to fail:

-tensioner pulleys
-shaft bearings on the compressor itself

BTW, if someone did any work recently in the general area like replace a fan belt to the a/c compressor, it could also be an overtightened/over-tensioned fan belt.
