Hi,
Usually, when I press the air-con button, it will give a "tuk" sould and a short "hissing" sound.
Today, I no longer hearing the above sounds and my air-con is blowing warm air.
What could be the problem ? My Latio is coming to 5 years
- Compressor spoilt ?
- Coil leak ?
- run out of gas ?
:unsure:
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
-
Just a quick check before you send it to workshop.
Check the AC button. Is it on?
-
yes it is on
-
I think my ride has similar problem too, 5.2 years.
During hot days and stationary, it blows hot air, when moving at 2k rpm, the a/c blows warm air.
No problem when the day is cooler, such as rainy day or night time, a/c very cold.
Advice please!

May we know what temp you set ? Maybe you can try to set to lower temp than your current temp to see if there any diff.

Ah forgot to mention, my temp setting is always 22c. Last time no problem, hot day with 22c also cool, now...not so anymore.
Will give your suggestion a try, may be drop to 18c and see if its help!

Hi all,
Thanks for the help and advise
I went down to TC today and they diagnose that my cooling coil / evaporator assembly leak. Got it change under their seasonal campaign, cost $440 (inclusive labour charge and GST), warranty 1 year or 20000km.
-
Good to hear that. $440 indeed very reasonable. Nowadays, weather so hot, got to spend the money.

Hi Hammer,
Do you know when the seasonal campaign ends? I may send mine to them next week.
Which branch have you send your to? And how long does it takes?
Thanks

Hi wrxykh,
If you know any of the SA from your previous servicing with TC, if not their contact numbers are available on TC webpage.
Call them, enquire on the seasonal campaign and make appointment. In this case, you may be able to reserve the current price, even
you send in your car in the month of May.

Hi Hammer,
Thanks. Went to TC and check, the SA said they have plenty of stocks, so not to worry.
He has done a simple diagnosed to my air con, and advice me to top up the gas and monitor.
That was exactly what I've done and now my air con is damn cool now :) Well, I will monitor for a few months, if not cool, then confirm somewhere is leaking gas!
Cheers
-
if they need to top up ur air con gas,then there sure to have a leak.it will not last long.
-
hi. i have the same problem with my aircon too. hot times the aircon won stay cold, at night no such problem.
I have not been to TCM ever since i got the car so can i just drive in anytime to let them have a look or do i have to make an appointment prior to going down?
And hammer, may i know which TCM you went to? or all the TCM will have this service because i am quite near the Toa Payoh branch.
tyty!

Got that changed outside, $300. :smile: AC edge (http://www.acedge.com.sg/catalogue/ACEDGE_Evaporator_Catalogue.pdf). It comes with one year warranty.

Hi all,
My 4+ yrs old Latio aircon is failing me as well.
Hot days not cold, nights are all right.
Even if I lower till 19 deg on hot days, it is not cold also.
Can I know, if i go TCM to ask them to check/diagnose, do they charge?
How much do they charge if I ask for gas topup?
Thanks in advance ;)
-
fessm, don't waste money to topup, evaporator has started to leak. "Hot days not cold, nights are all right" is one of the tell-tail sign. Try listen to the gaseous sound inside your cabin, this is another sign of insufficient gas. Mine got the these two signs and after changing the evaporator, the aircon back to normal, 23 to 24 degrees were cold enough during the hot day. Maybe ask them to open up the area to see evaporator any sign showing it is leaking before dismantling it. (greenish sticky liquid at the sides of the evaporator). Decide fast, before it affect other parts, such as your compressor.

Hi wooks, noted. thanks! :thumbsup:
Which workshop did you went, can send me?
-
hallo bros.
sorry to dig up old thread but it seems like my a/c also up lorry liao.
last night tried to turn on the aircon and faced the following problems:
1. when turn on the fan, there is a "tuk" sound. A/C button was lited and air was on circulating
2. the hissing sound came on, but it never stopped.usually the hiss will stop after 3-4secs and subsequently cold air is felt
3. then the cold air never came even after 10 mins of drive on the road
am probably gonna call up the tcm SA and see if the 'seasonal package of $440' is still available. any bros took up the package and had theirs changed in tcm in the last month or so? pls share your exp?
thanks!

Hi. I was in Genting when my Aircon failed me. It suddenly don't blow cold air anymore.
Some details:
1) Aircon blowing but hot air.
2) press a/c button got the tuck tuck sound, meaning the switching is ok right
3) day or night, always hot air
4) at KL outskirt, got it inspected at a local workshop. Boss say got gas, likely compressor spoilt. Is it true?
Do u have any workshop to recommend???
-
i think same problem as mine. better bring back to TCM. they got promo going on, i just got my ******** cooling coil replaced. $504 incl GST!

I got mine changed at a regular workshop.
$550 change compressor, dryer, top up gas and labour. Reasonable right?

My Aircon compressor up-the-lorry on 9 Jul 11 half way to JB. Went to a 1 shop in JB to check and found that 1 fuse under ECU, controlling the aircon, burnt. Replaced it and aircon compressor start working. After running a while, the mechanic touch the fuse again and comment that it is very hot and told me the fuse will burnt again due to compressor having problem. I touched it and indeed very hot. He manage to get 1 compressor, used by M'sia Lavina/1.5 latio(S'pore) made in M'sia. He commented that there is only 1 such compressor in the market for 1.5l nissan latio in M'sia.
Bargain with him and settle at RM800 with following :
1. Aircon compressor
2. cabin filter
3. dryer
4. Chemical clean on Condenser
5. Top up aircon gas
-
I got this probelm and recently rectifed.
The compressor wasnt engaged..
The valve which is suppose to engage to compressor fails.
Therefore, bearing and valve were change and now under hot sun also ok.
-
Hi all,
I have last mentioned my aircon is failing me 2 months ago, then last Thursday, it totally died, no cold air at all.
The hissing sound will be there constantly.
So I went to change my cooling coil last sat morning, total damage is $460.
Cost includes cooling coil, filter, gas topup, labour, gst.
It took them ard 3 1/2 hrs to complete.
Location is at Tomika Bukit Merah, they have another shop at Ubi.
Quite satisfied for now, although not the cheapest if compared to the bros posted above.
Shall monitor for the next few months :yehyeh: :yehyeh: :yehyeh:
-
Got this air con problem also. Air con suddenly blowing hot air. I off the air con for a minute and on it back, the air con blow cold again. After a few minutes, the same problem occur again.
When to a workshop in JB and check told them the problem. Directly he can pinpoint the magnet coil faulty. After checking and is true that the 'Magnet Coil' in the compressor is faulty. .
Option 1 : Change Magnet coil at RM280
Option 2 : Change re condition compressor with the magnet coil at RM550++
Opt for magnet coil changed at RM280 and it took about 2 hours
Now my latio aircon is normal. hopefully is will last for a while.
-
Just changed my cooler coil, filter, valve and top up gas plus normal air con servicing <400 at Kim Aircon. Just a few shops away from Tomika at Ubi. Highly recommended. Look for the boss, Mr Loo or Ah Khim. He is knowledgeable and will give you genuine advice. Price is very reasonable as well. TC quoted me >550.
-
Same issue as you guys... i've made an appointment with Huat Lee Batteries at AutoBay Kaki Bukit... read from somewhere Nigel is pretty okay... anyone got any feedback about the shop?
My Latio has tonnes of issues... but the aircon is now a priority as the weather now is a killer...
-
Sometime, the cooling engine could not be working could be due to one of the fuse blown, this we can easily change by our self.
I change mine compressor at one of the WS in woodland, $600 for everything (labor + compressor + fuse + connect to the fan).
