ifyeez I will send you the 2k to do the advise, I just gave you. If it work return my money, if didn't work, keep the 2k.

I have paid the price when I own my first car 8years ago, lies upon lies, just to take ur money.

I'm sharing my experience, so Uber guys won't be loosing most of their earnings to mechanics, my corollas behave that way sometimes, whenever I apply the same method, everything works fine.

U don't need any damn diagnosis to fix that ac, dirty cabin filter is one of the common thing, that makes ac not cool very well

10k vs 2k. Seems you not so sure of your diagnosis.

Let's make it easier.

Ifyeez, just remove the filter and test, if it works the parrot was correct an I owe you 10k

Filter clog is caused by dirt and restricts the flow of air.
When that happens you would have to use the blower fan at higher speeds to get cabin to cool. Removing filter temporarily to test has eliminated the clog.

Waiting for results.

Please I need your candid opinion also help too, my Honda Accord the AC gets cold very early in the morning till like around 11am when the sun is up, then once the sun gets really hot around that time, the AC kinda only blows air and little ac, especially when am in traffic, then evening from 7pm when the sun has gone down the AC gets really cold again that I ve to reduce it to the lowest. My ac guy has changed almost everything about my AC, now his telling me to buy a new compressor for 35k again. Please help a brother before this guy kill me, he has finished my Taxify money.

thebigkendo:


First of all Sorry to disappoint you, am not a mechanic.

AC chills in the morning and evening and not chilling hot afternoon can be caused by
1. Clogged/faulty condenser
2. Weak compressor
3. Shortage of gas: Ideally AC system is a closed system, gas should not short except the system has a leak.. Topping up of the gas will just be a waste of money because it will still leak out and he will be back to square 1..

NB. Clugged filter will not stop AC from cooling on hots days or when car is stationary, it will reduce the overall AC efficiency be it morning afternoon or night.
With the symptoms he stated my bet is on either NO 1 and/or 2
And it is not advisable to top up gas, It could actually cause more problems in the AC system.

blackfm:

ok. it sounded like it was on your NL profile.

ogunvic41:

Check the EXPANSION VALVE...

herbalists all over the place

What equipment will u use to detect a faulty expansion valve?

Throwing parts at a problem does not always solve problem.

payne4real:
Boss in the house, my Toyota corolla 2008 car AC is not blowing cold air. i took it to a car AC repairer for gas topping he said the system is not allowing gas topping that the compressor is bad that i'll need to change it for about 35,000 and that he will change it to a manual compressor instead of the automatic compressor that came with the car. BOSS i need your advice , i dont have that kind of money right now. what should i do?

slamstanlee:
yea... A healthy car AC shouldn't leak out gas and should last for up 2 years when fixed and gas refilled. According to my AC guy sha... I replaced ur no. 1 and 2 and i was delivered

Me sef dey find this engine..abeg if you see make I know...

qLast time I was in this situation, I was in the trip already and the lady has to do shopping, after waiting for 15mins, I politely called her that I have a flat tyre and I have to go fix it, it was a cash trip and I ended the trip with out collecting the money. The second day I just wrote UBER, rider didn’t pay and I was refunded. You have to work smart. uote author=iamoracle post=64869555]
Any answer for dis?

Lol Somebody is topping every year & feels its normal..

entparrot:


Less than 2k, is what it cost with my recommendation to fix the ac, instead of him to think the money will be waste as  thebigkendo suggested.

Why are you missing the part, the guy says ac works and chill only morning and evening, but during hot afternoon not so cool.

I have had couple of the same experiences in the past, and what I recommended worked for me, and still working.

Now since you suggest it won't work, I challenge u to tell us, what will work, you break down my explanation as an expert, now break down ur 10k diagnosis.

jarkbauer:



My advice is, dont dislike gazzuzz for his charges Hes only selling his expertise and na Ibo man, though a little expansive for an average Joe but in the long run its good that good a mechanic handle your car. from my findings he is good and more honest than a lot of mechanic that i know.

entparrot:


Who is disliking who? I have no problem with anybody.

Someone stated exactly the same problem, I have faced in the past, and I gave my honest opinion. And it has worked for me.
slamstanlee confirm the same thing.

Even my house ac, if the filter not clean, the ac won't chill properly.

So tell me where the dislike is coming from, we should stop sharing opinions and follow only gazzuz opinion?

Any question you ask gazzuz diagnosis, you have a flat tire, diagnosis!

Na wow!

thebigkendo:


Lol Somebody is topping every year & feels its normal..

slamstanlee:
not too bad if you ask me... I was topping barely every 2 months

GAZZUZZ:


from my experience with that model of toyota, the compatible toyota single displacement (manual) compressor that will fit cost about 60,000.
Others will cause your car to vibrate horribly when they engage.

You need to review your budget.

For now

GAZZUZZ:
if you have headache drink agbo jedi-jedi.

Malaria..... Drink agbo

Typhoid.... drink agbo

Waste pain..drink agbo

jarkbauer:



I can smell beef with gazzuzz. He is free to collect diagnosis fees. I think gazzuzz trained abroad. "In the abroad" you will get a quote for diagnosis, price for replacements parts, the actual fixing and tax. and this is his model. You know it is like when we are sick, instead of going to hospital for proper diagnosis we go to chemist and the chemist will treat us.Some people will even call their doctor friends or neighbors for free diagnosis.

slamstanlee:
My advice.
Be your own first mechanic. An experienced driver should be technically inclined about his/her car. Watch them and learn a few things.
Then when it's more than what you can handle, call your expert/mechanic/electrician.

The other day i had a flat tire on eko bridge, and i had to call LASTMA and response unit. Cos i couldn't place the jack very well. Now i can change all 4 tires.

About the AC cabinet filter, i saw how my ac man removed it and blew the dirts out. 3 months later, i carefully open where it's located (quite easy) blew the dirts myself. And i will do that again if need be.

6 months ago my kick starter wouldn't kick, just when my riders entered the car... I had to go look for the closest KAZEEM electrician around saka tinubu. I didn't know how he joined wires and started the car, then we drove to his workshop. He tapped the started several times with a metal and it started. But he said my starter needed some touches.... (i suspect friction or rusts) He took it out and worked on it, then he said i may never encounter that again soon. This morning after cleaning my car, tried to start it, but was hearing this tick tick sound from within. I flashed back! Took a metal from my boot tapped the starter several times and voila! It working till now... And i hope not to go there another six months...


Or was it when the fan stopped working in my uncle's car, i just pressed firmly the connector and it came back to life...

Or is it about break hydraulic oil lickage.? What to do?
Or is it radiator coolant i bought myself and put in our blue car, for just 450...same coolant i bought 2000 at uber inspection center yaba... So many experiences... You have to learn every day.

Pay attention to your car, ask questions... But no go do oversabi....

But if it's beyond what you have experienced or can handle consult people like GAZZUZZ or ur preferred/trusted mechanics....

(Na who send me this plenty epistle sef). Lol.... Cheers!

My brother drove Camry tiny light for 8 years. He did not top any gas. He only air-washed his condenser and changed filter. The Ac was working when he sold it last year.
