Title: Aircon became not cooling / cold after sometime, especially during in slow speed
Post by: tchekchuan on July 21, 2012, 09:40:39 PM

Hi,

My aircon became not cooling / cold after sometime, especially when slow moving / less accleration.. However when i press harder on my accerlation, the aircon becomes cold. 

When i acclerate, i heard a short hissing (gas) sound and the aircon eventually turns colder; however when i less accleration, the aircon becomes not cold again.

Any idea?

Thanks for viewing

It could be due to the radiator leaking - please check - very serious... just go to workshop and ask...

engine can burn and car can catch fire

Hi bro,water leak will only caused engine to overheat and burn the head gasket,it will not catch fire.but for bro tchekchuan case,it should be the cooling fan,cooling coil or compressor.

Hi tchekchuan, Sorry to hijack your post.

Mine having similar problem. During noon time (hot weather), when on the air-con with 3 fan and 23deg (or even 18deg), the air-con doesnt seem to work. But when I travel a long distance, the air-con is working fine. I change my cooling coil last year only. Could it be due to never install solar films and the car unable to cool down? Or suspect the fan going soon liao?

I went to Mark Kool at woodlands for diagnose and he said the aircon compressor is on the verge of crapping out...

Price for a brand new aircon compressor he quoted me for $600 + 3 months warranty.

I havent have it serviced, may be wait till it 100% cannot make it then change lor.. no budget.. :weep:

I change mine at woodland and he say is original. That was last year already.

Anyway, any one encounter this, the driver and passenger seat both have 2 blowers ( driver side 1 on left and the other on the right - same as passenger side). The one the driver side is much cooler than the one on the passenger side. Anyon have any ideal?
