Advice On My Car A/c by dbalinga(m): 8:25pm On Jan 21, 2010 |
NLANDERS, I need expert advice on what to do as regards my car A/C. The A/C was working perfectly but recently noticed that it wasnt as chilled as before. I filled the gas about a week ago. What do i do? |

It's always a good idea to have the system checked for leaks. This is done by evacuating the R134-A remaining, and creating a vacuum. How long has the re-gas taken place? |
Re: Advice On My Car A/c by dbalinga(m): 9:32pm On Jan 21, 2010 |
the re-gas was done about 8 days ago. Its really surprising that i have never had cause to regas my other vehicle |

how do u mean Creating a vacuum? I cud tell the technician to do that |

If the re-charge took place 8 days ago, you must have a major leak. Creating a vacuum is when the gas is sucked out, and negative pressure is applied to the system. This vacuum is maintained over a set period, usually about 20 minutes, and gauges are monitored. As long as the vacuum is held, the system is gas tight. |

Re: Advice On My Car A/c by dbalinga(m): 12:37pm On Feb 17, 2010 |
yeah, the technician discovered that there was leakage of oil from the compressor, and at the same time a leak from the elbow that goes into the condenser, it was fixed and the AC is as chilled as ever. Thank you guys. |
