hyundai accent 2011 : Mahinang aircon

[makro]

My car is running more than 3 years now. I noticed the aircon is not that cool anymore need to set the fan in level 3 or 4 but still not sufficient to cool down the car esp during summer. Do we need cleaning na ba? Or any internal AC problem?Any advice?

I also noticed a problem on the fresh (blue light) automatically/intermittently turning off during the cooling process. Minsan maaamoy mo nalang yung usok.

Is that the removable filter below the dashboard? I already replaced it with new one.

ok, since you have already replaced the cabin filter, check for freon content.

if symptoms is cool in the morning and hot at noon, possible na wala or kulang na ang refrigerant mo.
in that case, i would suggest na pa thorough cleaning with refrigerant charging mo na.

AFAIK yung blue light indicates whether the car recirculates or gets fresh air from outside. If the light is on, then it is on recirculate. If it is off, then it gets air from outside - hence you smell smoke coming into the cabin.

You can have the freon level checked, kung mababa na, you may need to have it serviced. This looks like it's going to be an interesting thread. I am sure fellow accent owners are curious as to whether cleaning the evaporator coil will entail pulling down the entire dashboard
