My Engine Vibrates each time I switch off my AC. As soon as the AC is switched off,the car RPM drops suddenly to 300 and rises again to 800 as the engine vibrates. Initially I thought the issue was with the serpentine belt,I changed the belt and problem still persist. AC works perfectly well. |

I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla whose interior blower or fan stopped working and that means the A.C did not come on too. I have searched for the fuse peradventure that was what caused it, but to no avail |

@ Gazzuzz My friend with the EOD was lucky to get a compressor and drier from Company old stock. The a/c works, but we noticed a loose connection on top of the receiver drier. I asked him to plug it back in after we got online to discover that it was a pressure switch. He tells me now that, while plugged in and without switching on a/c, ice forms on some lines inside engine bay. Says he disconnected switch on top drier and that didn't happen again. What's wrong? (I adviced him to plug it back. I believe more in design knowledge, not user/technician advice) |

GAZZUZZ: Good evening gurus in the house. If I turn on the Ac, it kicks in with the fan speed at 4. But then it will be blowing warm air until I put the fan at 2 or even 1 (lowest); then it will begin to chill. At times it happens dat with the Fan at 4, the compressor will be turning with a hitch, at other times it will be turning freely (ie normally) but in any case it doesn't chill until I use lower button as earlier explained. The problem started few months ago after the dashboard was removed in order to change the evaporator. Please what could the issue be? Could the electrician have messed up some connections? The car is Mercedes W202 (C-Class). |

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? GAZZUZZ: |
Re: Closed by GAZZUZZ(m): 3:55pm On Feb 04, 2018 |
payne4real: compatible manual compressor that will fit in a 2zr or 1zr engine is a Hillux compressor(best fit). It costs ove 50k. |

Re: Closed by abnot: 12:51am On Feb 15, 2018 |
My camry 2014 3.5L XLE cooling system has been somewhat erratic. The refrigerant dries up after a month or there about. Following the third refill, a technician at a Mobil gas station told me the need to replace the evaporator. I proceeded to the Total Service center for a second opinion and was told the same thing (Replace Evaporator as it seems to be leaking). Not satisfied I proceeded to the the Oando service station and told the same thing. I am now convinced that the evaporator needs to be replaced but I'm now worried about where to have the done. As it involves taking out the steering, dashboard , air bags, etc I'm now seeking a capable hand that will be able to do the job without causing other problems / mixing the bolts & nuts. In addition what's the market price of a good Evaporator for camry muscle (xle) ? |

Re: Closed by dapotemi: 10:52pm On Feb 25, 2018 |
My AC fan was change and gas refill. The AC technician said he notice a leak and according to him he has fixed it. I drove my car and i test the AC , it was chilling perfectly well, i did about 10km and it was cold. I was satisfied. But just after two days, i notice it was blowing hot air again. Please what could be the reason. What could have happen within two days. Its camry 2003. cc Gazzuzz Abeg Gazzuzz |
Re: Closed by snipesdam(m): 9:43am On Feb 26, 2018 |
Gazzuzz, a leak test is done and no leak was observed. After refill 3 months later refrigerant is low the system was checked again still no leak. Tech guy says there its an internal leak, that the refrigerant is drying up inside. Advised to change the Condenser and Compressor, says evaporator is OK. Condenser is already very aged anyway car is already 9yrs Old with ODO 137000 km on it. Corolla 07'. (Note AC system was taken out completely and tested outside the car 1st time). |
Re: Closed by GAZZUZZ(m): 10:01am On Feb 26, 2018 |
snipesdam: What test was used? Vacuum? U.V dye, electronic sniffers? Or detergent? |
Re: Closed by snipesdam(m): 10:22am On Feb 26, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ: I'm very sure they don't have a sniffer. UV dye was used for the first test when it was disassembled. Then detergent was to observe when i complained after 3 months. |
Re: Closed by GAZZUZZ(m): 10:35am On Feb 26, 2018 |
snipesdam: Was U.V light/U.V glasses used to detect the U.V dye? |
Re: Closed by snipesdam(m): 11:20am On Feb 26, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ: Not Sure about. If UV dye was used, isn't it possible for he to have use the glasses and UV torch to check these.... |

Re: Closed by Princelumide: 6:28am On Mar 16, 2018 |
Hey GAZZUZZ, I own a Mercedes Benz and the AC was formerly working but along the line it stopped and I visited my mechanic to check it for me and I was told it was empty, then I refilled it. It only cool for few days and it stopped and then later I visited another AC specialist, I was told there's gas in it but not just cooling,... But I just don't want anyone to tamper with my engine anyhow... I need ur assistance. Thanks |
Re: Closed by tundebabzy: 9:56am On Mar 22, 2018 |
Hi Gazzuzz, Can you refer/recommend any shop in kaduna or Abuja? I'm pretty sure I'm low on freon but there's not one single shop in my locality that has a pressure gauge not to talk of vacuum pump or freon recovery setup. Please help. It's getting really hot in these parts |
