the mere sound of the air con when tuned to the max freaks me out
never ever that i tune it to the max
air cond temp turned to the max lah.....not the fan.....never ever that i tune it to the max
the sound comes from the fan....which is controlled by the fan speed knob....
TS was referring to the temperature knob......

they myth depends on how to look after the air-con. just like your engine, it needs periodical service and maintenance. so compressor oil and air-con flushing and freon maintenance should be kept maintain all the time. if your compressor is running low on lubricant, it will breakdown early. if there is no frean gas due to leakage, then the compressor will have trouble working properly. and if there is blockage on the airway. then the compressor will work so hard that it will get faulty soon. for me, leaving on to the max is a need, cause i prefer not to sweat while the air con is working either.
if not mistaken, the air-con works accordingly to the timing of the engine. when the compressor is working, the timing of the vehicle will increase. correct me if i'm wrong
agree....just turn on the air cond and uselah....otherwise.....buy car without air cond loh.....if not mistaken, the air-con works accordingly to the timing of the engine. when the compressor is working, the timing of the vehicle will increase. correct me if i'm wrong
regarding the service thing....i do not fully agree......
nowadays air conds are designed to last long......just use only....once the air cond not cold enough....then start to service it like changing the spoilt parts......
i have 4 cars at home and I can't remember when was the last time I serviced my car air cond.....never got leaking or the air cond not cold yet.......iswara already 5 year old, hyundai 3 year old, kia 3 year old, kenari is 6 year old.....and the last wira before sold, changed when it was 5 year old (the cooling coil spoilt) and sold it at 10 year old without air cond problem.......
air cond service is not really necessary like changing the gas for example.....if the system is working properly...no need to change gas....the gas will not deteriorate in the system.....if have to often add gas meaning the gas is leaking so just change the spoilt part......plus once you start to change, better do a full inspection on the whole system and change any other parts that looks spoilt too.....else....the good parts will start to spoil faster as it needs to work more to compensate the not so good parts......
