Air con no cold during hot weather

[vr2turbo]

Yes you are right Liong, they claim to be specialist...

But when i ask them questions,

They will always say have to check first...

They also wear uniform so and so brand specialist...

But some of them only wear the uniform given...

Could be some apprentice of other trade, not specialised...

When they could not detect the fault, they do trial & error, got to change many new parts before the problem is solved...

Exactly, they wear uniform, outsider also think they are the specialist.....ha! ha!
But if cannot pinpoint the fault and start to ask you change this and that, means they also not sure....

The expansion valve is fitted just before cooling coil. If not mistaken, as the gas passes the expansion valve, it is like sprayed into the coil causing it to cool the coil, and the blower blowing air through the coil takes the cool air into the passenger compartment. If the valve is adjusted to big, it does not cool, and too small it might get stuck, so it must be properly adjusted.....my 2 sens

I will try to locate air con station current address and let you know

check by the air con specialist. He top up gas, then aircon become cold already.
He told me the compressor got problem because the red need on the meter there goes up and down. He suggest me no need to change the compressor. If really become hot again within 6months only change/

Maybe got gas leak some where??

Not sure,I think want to get a full check. It is true that the red(red for high pressure) needle on the meter goes up and down. There is problem at the compressor?

Goes up and down by how much? When system is hot the pressure goes up, and when cool down it comes down slightly. Sometimes they test by splashing water to the front condenser.

Why I ask, maybe got gas leak, because you mentioned after top up it was cold, and now not cold. If compressor have problem, then won't be cold at all.....

My Wira converted to GSR turbo, the aircond got problem, but mine is idling at hot weather is cold. When driving upto 90km/hr and above, the aircond cut out fast (fast at 10sec) and kick in slow (slow as 40sec) Can any members had the problem as same me before, Please share yours experience with me. Thanks!
