I just came from a smooth drive from Sta Cruz Laguna yesterday until my aicon suddenly lost its usual temperature. My suking repair shop's diagnosis said that "nag yelo" daw ang aircon. After putting the thermostat to full heating position, water flowed from under the vehicle. Since the vehicle did not have any cleaning records since it was passed on to me, I decided to have it cleaned na rin. The unit is working fine now and smells nice too!
How can I prevent this from hapenning again? Should I put the thermostat into heating position once in a while during long drives para maiwasan ang pag yeyelo?
By the way I drive a '98 Isuzu Trooper (local UBS69) and just to share my experience with this vehicle, driving was very comfortable. I tried cruising at 160kph with no sweat at all!

simply keep your evaporator clean and free of dirt... so having it cleaned on a regular basis will help prevent this from happening.
another way is to avoid setting your thermostat to full cold.

Ghost,
Where do you usually set your thermostat? Yup, mine is always set at full.

troopers have thermostat or climate control? most cars 1995 up have climate control as opposed to thermostat.
yup yearly cleaning will prevent it from freezing up, also will make the lifespan of the evaporator longer.

actually di naman porke naka full cold ang thermostat magyeyelo na yan eh, as long as malinis ang expansion valve and walang bara kahit iwan mo whole day sa full cold yan di magyeyelo yan.

Minsan, mabagal ang ikot ng evaporator blower or ng condenser fan kaya nag-yeyelo.
Either you lower your temp setting or you full blast the fan.
Ok lang iyan, my former vehicle used to do that a lot.

September 6th, 2005 01:09 AM #10dirt on the evaporator will restrict cold air passing it and would condense the cold air passing it into water na siya namang magki-cling sa evaporator fins...eventually the water gets too cold and reach it solid state (ice formation) so mag-yeyelo na ang fins totally blocking the fins...so unless matunaw iyun, the aircon can't blow cool air outside its vent.
So the culprit is a dirty evaporator fins and full-cold setting sa thermostat...
my 2 cents.Last edited by wildthing; September 6th, 2005 at 01:16 AM.
