Ever heard of "Liquid Separator"

I dont think the vanette was designed poorly with regards to its airconditioning system. I think there is definitely something wrong with your cooling system.. Relocating the 1st condenser would only be beneficial kung may overheating problem radiator mo, or mahina na yung radiator fan mo and able to cool the 1st condenser. Kung wala nman leak radiator and condenser mo, pabaklas mo na lng at ipa high pressure water cleaning mo na lng/sundutin mga clogged areas. Have the fan checked din kung malakas pa. Make sure the gap between the condenser and radiator is not too far (15-20mm daw ideal) so the air pulled in by the radiator fan is forced thru the condenser first rather than thru the gap. Also hav the 2nd condenser pressure hosed and have the fan checked too. Replace your drier (mura lng nman yun), check the expansion valve also (low pressure reading pag stuck closed or kung barado), chek the compressor kung adequate pa din ang vacuum (dapat tama ang low pressure readings and di dapat close sa high pressure side). If your system doesnt have any leak at tama naman amount of refrigerant, ok na cguro yun..

I dont know...just a thought

What? Not all stock Vanettes overheat? Here I thought it was the rule rather than the exception.

Do a lot of hillclimbing or traffic in the older Vanettes, and even when new, they would get hot and sometimes overheat. They only fixed the cooling issue for the later Grand Coaches... and even then, after a few years you had to watch out for heat problems.

There's nothing wrong with the aircon per se... it's just a symptom of the general cooling issues with stock Vanettes.

siguro naayus na ni TS ung vanette nya, 5 years ago na, baka nabenta na nga yung unit.
