Hi guys,
today i experienced a weird problem with my aircon...
driver side of the car, the air blowing out is cold, however, on the passenger side, the air blowing out is warm! :ohmy:
anyone experience this problem or can advise?
thanks. :unsure:
-
I have experience before. During early morning or evening, the car is cool, but during afternoon 'bua tan han'.
Went to Kelvin workshop and change out cooling coil and one pipe, ok already.
Suspect is cooling coil spoil. Bring your car go for diagnose.
Cheers.

Thanks for your reply :smile:
I have already book an appointment with bro kelvin to go down tomorrow for him to have a look :yehyeh:
today afternoon drive realli bueh tahan... so humid and warm in car :crying:

Air-con gas leaked, cooling coil need to be replace.

Confirmed. Anyway, the main prob is not enough gas. Where leak I dunno but very likely to be cooling coil. Changed mine @ Kelvin's workshop (really recommended) :thumbsup:

Confirmed. Anyway, the main prob is not enough gas, the air isn't cold enough so by the time the air gets to the passenger side (which is the furthest) it becomes warm liao (thanks to Kelvin for explaining). Where leak I dunno but very likely to be cooling coil. Changed mine @ Kelvin's workshop (really recommended) :thumbsup:
-
yes. replaced cooling coil at bro kelvin's workshop.. now aircon is cold ~~~~~~ and no more hissing sound. :yehyeh:
-
I meet both Kelvin and Teo this morning and they did a fantastic job. They were patient with their explanation, took out 4 wheels to inspect all the brakes, replaced 1 of the brake rubber seal (used) FOC and changed the aircon cooling coil (no more hissing sound) at a reasonable price. I am a layman in terms of maintenance and I appreciate their honest feedback and transparent pricing. A good turn deserves another. Well done guys and keep it up! :thumbsup:
-
after high rev eg overtaking etc, the air blowing out from the air-con vents is not cold
need to switch off and re-start the engine before getting cold air again
any prognosis?
-
Compresser up lorry soon, as it not kick in anymore. :(
-
Mine too.. early morning is cold air.. but after travelling for a while, become warm air.. need to turn off the aircon and wait for2mins, on again and air is cold.. but after a while, warm air again. Is this a coil problem or condenser problem? Thx
-
looks like compressor up lorry soon.... i also had the symptons and changed the compressor at kelvin's place. It will get more and more frequent till one day only hot air come out......

Anyone experience water leaking from the cooling coil at the driver side? :confused1:

think one of bro here experiene before, its due to the water tray at cooling coil, check if its leaking.
did you ever change your cooling coil at outside workshop?
i realise when i was changing my cooiling coil at kelvin workshop that the previous workshop(located at toh guan) that replaced my cooling coil actually cut the water tray to save time when replacing my cooling coil, they then used tape to stick it back :nonod:. i was lucky it never leak.
kelvin helped to patch up my water tray with silicone as thee was no spare water tray avaliable at that time, lucky for me.
-
That would be me.. My entire driver side was always wet beneath the car mat...

Yup. Replaced my car cooling coil at Mark Cool few months ago :mad: :mad:. Will it be a safety problem? If not, will let it be... I stick a cloth there to absorb the water.

better get it fixed.many of my customers got this problem after doing their cooling coil else where.... :crying:

Anyone experience aircon not so cold after changing compressor? I used to set my aircon temp around 23 or 21 deg. But after changing compressor, even at at 20 deg, the aircon not as cold as before.....

For those interested to know how your compressor looks like, here's the pictures. It's hard to find via Google or Yahoo so I guess for the convenience to all..
Old Compressor

Compressor still going strong
Probably a slow leak
Gas topped up & now cold
Will continue to monitor
-
Confirmed. Anyway, the main prob is not enough gas. Where leak I dunno but very likely to be cooling coil. Changed mine @ Kelvin's workshop (really recommended) :thumbsup:
Hi,
Can pm ME WHAT IS THE DAMAGR?
-
Where to check and top up gas? And how much is top up cost?
-
top up gas 20
-
How much to change compressor? Recon price? Or original price?
-
compressor price is about 500 to 600, new set.
-
Wow, when should it be change?
-
Aircon also blowing hot air recently. Changed cooling coil as leaking for $400 and new compressor for $560.
-
Hi All,
I was wondering beside compressor and cooling coil, what other factor or parts that will make the air-con not cold?
Radiator?
-
Radiator is to cool engine
-
There are 3 sensors in the air con system, one of mine was faulty, as a result 25 DC and 18 DC had the same level of chillness.
-
Think my radiator also up lorry liao.
Anyway, anyone happen to hear/use this K-seal product? It seems like it can seal up those leaks.....
-
Anyone can advise on the cost to change the cooling coil. Was quote $600 at a workshop in Loyang. thanks

For those who on their aircon, usually will have a "thun" sound coming from compressor in normal working conditions.
So for those who on their aircon but did not heard this sound, most likely is the compressor got shorted.
I got this problem when travelling from one area to another area and the aircon was working fine, park there for a few hours and start engine hot air blowing out again. Did not heard the sound. After diagnose at one of the WS, found that is compressor problem.
The person just use a tester to test on the fuse and the fuse was open. He inform just change 1 of the part in compressor (repair) and top up gas. Now working fine.
Meaning to say, actually no need to change out the compressor which I did about 3 years back. Just change one part inside compressor ok liao.

This seem very intersting....
Can share more?
Like..Do we need to remove the compressor, How long the repair need, Cost of repair....
Lastly...Where is the workshop?
Thanks....

Maybe I can share my problems so others can also benefit.
My car was about 5 years old, and aircon started not able to cut in (no "thun"sound) when in jam like causeway to JB. But when checked at workshop, the aircon worked fine. It happened more frequently after that. Even while waiting in the car, the aircon would not cut in. So my problem with aircon is only not cool during jam/stationary and under hot sun. I went to Tomika @Alexandra and they changed the compressor magnetic clutch @200.
All went well for another 6 months, then after another long 1 hour jam at causeway, the aircon totally not able to cut in. Went to Kelvin's workshop and they showed me the fuse broken and advised me to change the compressor. Now the aircon cools much faster than before. Hopefully it can last me a few more years.

less than a year after changing cooling coil.. aircon start to have hissing sound on driver side again... =(
-
you can try topping up gas and monitor first, mine so far no more hissing sound after topping up gas many months ago
-
Aft changin my coolin coil for 1 week, hissin sound can be heard under dashboard on driver's side. A/c is cold at all times juz dat è hissin sound is irritatin esp when drivin w/o turnin on audio system.
Enzoni: ur's aft top-up gas no more sound ah?
-
pizzaboy,

-
