My Myvi aircond just done refilling gas a week ago

Then I notice when idling at hot weather, the air cond compressor turn on and off randomly and then the air cond becoming warm until the car is moving at around 50km/h then the cold air is back

The randomly Aircond compressor On and Off is very quick, its like 1st second it turn on, then 2nd second it off, then on and on for few times and it totally went off

I've checked the temperature it seems normal all the time.

I suspect the air cond compressor went overheat and cut off... is there anything I can do with this? Radiator fan seems working good with strong wind

relay kong or thermostat kong

also, when u refill a/c gas, didn't they check oil level for you too?

No.. they didn't check...

Is there a way to check this? Because long ago I met a mech who ask if I need to top up compressor oil, I ask him left how much and he say we wouldn't know, I end up didn't top up cause that statement sounds vague..

I kena before similar symptom right after refilling. my car not myvi though.
the technician refilled too much gas. pressure too high. the compressor had to frequently cut off even though not cold.
sent to another technician, released gas back to normal pressure. no more issue

That sounds pretty simple, I'll give this a try first

The amount of refrigerant to be refilled into any air con or refrigeration system is measured by weight. Its not by litres or by some pressure measurement. Mechanics use their experience and estimation to what is sufficient. The sight glass at the receiver dryer is only a fair indication of the amount contained. Air con system is also a calculated balanced system of evaporation and condensation. Overfilling or underfilling can result in numerous symtoms of operational defect including compressor malfunction and "not cold". Mechanics can make mistakes to overfill refrigerant especially on complaints of not cold. Refrigerant don't leak out or empty itself unless there's a leak. Its a sealed system as always. In your case it could be a case of fan coil is dirty or need a total washdown, including possible defect of the thermostic control components. Insufficient cooling is also a result of dirty fan coil, where the coil can freeze up, cause the thermostic control to cut off compression on & off (when its melted down) As I said, its a balanced cycle system. Inbalance anywhere cause the thermostatic or protection controls to activate. The same apply to any room airconditioner too...just that its compressor operate on electricity, not car engine.
