Hi,

I'm driving a Myvi1.3 2006.

Recently, it seems that gas leakage happened to my car.
Could you please advice the following matters?
- average/maximum cost to solve it?
- estimated repairing duration?
- your exact shop location and business hour?

Thank you.

Normally when not cold is due to a few problems, lack of gas, AC fan motor faulty. I am supplying parts only, currently did not have the workshop.

Yea, most of the time the clutch set can be replace and some of the workshop will not interested to help car owner to replace one, i guess somehow they will earn less compare to a whole new unit of compressors.

thanks for the sharing smile.gif

I am driving a Hyundai Accent 00' model. There is a high pitch sound like "vew~~~" when I accelerate the car when compressor is running. See my mechanic, he suspects not enough lubricant then added for me, but then the sound still remain. The air cond is still running cold just the sound is annoying... Can you roughly tell me what is the problem? Is the air compressor dying or?

And today I found out that the compressor does not cut off when idling, the air blow out is cool still... What caused such problem? Is it part of the reason because overfilled of air cond lubricant?
*
Firstly, where is the high pitch sound come from? It is inside the car or front part?

Lubricant oil have a certain amount of level to be added into differ compressors. Too many oil will cause the aircon system overfill will oil and refrigerant gas will be hard to pass through condenser tube and etc, this will cause high pressure to the system, aircon not cold , discharge hose burst out .......

How about your aircond function during the day? Will it be cold during hot afternoon?

If the sound is found inside the car, sometimes it will cause by the cooling coil or the expansion valve as well

hi bro,

i need some advise from u regarding my air cond situation, my car air cond (satria 1.6, 1996) actually very cold  till march this year(i bought it 2nd hand on 2009) where the air flow from the a/c vent start to block after some driving around 30 minutes, i need to off the a/c for a while then turn on then it will be ok and the a/c is still very cold, then the problem will repeat again and again as long as im driving.

i go to an a/c mechanic around my area(shah alam) on april and they told me that problem came from my thermostat sensor(rm140) which i need to replace. they said i need to service(rm110+ gas rm40) the a/c becoz  the sensor is attached to the cooling coil. so i just agree with the suggestion. during the servicing process they asked me to replace the valve(rm140) near the coil and the filter(seems like a tube or can)(rm70) too. so i have paid rm500 for the job. sweat.gif

then the blocking problem have gone but i can feel the a/c is not very cold anymore. when i ask the mechanic they say its normal and asked me to wait around 2-3 days for the a/c to be normal back. I've waited for a week and the a/c still the same and i notice it not cold at all when its hot outside on afternoon and not so cold when its not hot outside during daytime and only cold during the night.  unsure.gif

when i go back to the mechanic, they said may be need to top up the gas abit more(from 23psi earlier to 30 psi) and i end up paying another rm40. they asked me to test it around another week. no different after a week waiting then i go back to the mechanic again to complain. then they suggest me to re service back as they suspect something may be wrong and i may end up paying more if they encounter other problem within my a/c system. i started to get fed up with their behavior and i refuse to follow their advise at that moment. hmm.gif

so my question now, am i being conned here? what are the advise and solution for my problem? what is the estimation on the cost to fix the problem as im still a university student where my cash flow is not as smooth as working people.  icon_question.gif

thanks.

Hi ferDy,

Regarding the part price selling by the workshop is differ due to different supplier. But I definitely can provide you with a cheaper price.

For Satria car, air conditioning system is assembly by PATCO. Once you release the gas and compressor oil, the correct amount of refrigerant gas and compressor oil have to replace back.

valve. gas quality, level of compressor oil etc also will cause your aircond system to be not so cold, is hard to tell what went wrong.

Have to let technician to check which is the problem again.

regards.

Hi,

Need help on my 2004 Ford Ranger AC problem.  Yesterday, otw back home (in KL traffic jam) the cabin starts to warm up slowly.  After about 30 mins, its totally like a sauna in the cabin.

I presume, gas is leaking somewhere.  But later i check, the compressor clutch is not engaging.  i am pretty sure it was working when the incident happen.  Could the leak cause clutch not engaging or damage the compressor?

Went to a local repair shop, that guy said "compressor leaking,change new compressor".

Please advice.[attachmentid=2967206]

How much is it to repair?

smile.gif

Thanks in advance.

Yes, leaking from the shaft seal will cause the clutch pulley to malfunction, the oil will disturb the electrical power to supply towards the magnetic coil. So you might find the clutch suddenly working, suddenly not.

Compressor we selling a re-conditioning units at price Rm350. This do not include labor charges yet.

If only leaking, we can repair back and will cost about Rm150.

For further information you want to know, kindly drop me a message with your contact number, I will call you shortly.

thanks.

Hi K-Max

My car has this zzzzzzzzzzzzzz sound coming from the compressor at idle, if rev above 1500rpm or driving normally no sound. But air con is cold
What is the problem? Can it be repaired? I checked with one guy he said this is a rotary compressor going to kaput.

Thanks

Oh, Just the tension belt loose or too tight, something with the belt. Can be adjusted.

Bro, I already service my aircond.. Change filter, coil, refill..last month Bla..bla..etc.. But now I only feel angin from blower.. Tak sejuk... BUT bila jalan baru sejuk...what is the problem actually.. Tired of this thing... Spent a lot for aircon but failed at last... Is my compressor problem?

Check your AC fan, functioning well ?

When your car stay stationary, try rev your engine till 3000 rpm, if doing this only feel cold means compressor also provide less pressure to the ac system.

Normally is the fan problem, both ac fan or rad fan.

been driving for 20 years now.....

for a/c problems....just some experiences of mine..... doh.gif

- usually a/c start problems after 5/6/7 years with refilling 134a after the 3rd/4th year
- lots of money wasted for a/c maintenance changing itu ini begitu begini
- tried many a/c workshop....the best only last for 2 years....then leaked here and there....changed all new but a/c cold won't last for a year

- change all ori parts also don't guaranty for top and long lasting cold  doh.gif
- change 2nd hand from halfcut.....depends on your luck
- change recond and want to save more but end up more $$$$  cry.gif

i have wasted a lot for a/c maintenance and i believed many peoples are having same problems.....

once my friend said, they could produce 100% top quality product not only cars but everything.....but there will be no after services or maintenance done by customers so there will be no new business/opportunities for workshop/spare parts.....

nowadays bmw/merc/toyota/honda/nissan/mitsubishi and so on ( google for their problems, more luxury car more $$$ to maintain ).....and entire of businesses around the world also dragging into this scam of money hungry activities.....well that's the way it is.....money.....money.....money

lastly my advice.....no need to major repair and no pening kepala  rclxub.gif .....but hey, still new cars got some problems that's why the cycle keeps to continue....just use your car for 7 years than sell it up  thumbup.gif .....don't expect too high on car's quality nowadays.....wear and tear too quickly....

dah le malaysia panas.....aircond keje problem.....tensen²  rclxub.gif

end of story

Well...... sometimes the "skillful" workmanship will be require to do the job well. Some workshop still not perform that well, as you mentioned he problem cause.
