Oga Gazzuz good morning, i drive an RX 330,the AC stopped working i left it for months, when i decided to fix it,the tech guy changed the condenser but after a month the compressor packed up though it started making noise before getting stiff and burnt out.Another compressor was installed after 3 days,AC stopped cooling,the tech guy brought the compressor out,i observed oil was on the body of the compressor,he said there's so much pressure in the system that is affecting the compressor rubber seals one on top and below, he advised we introduce an external drier to reduce the pressure, i declined because that will change the OEM standard of the system just like removing thermostat and connecting the fan direct, he changed the seals and installed the compressor and the cooling is back but last two nights i came back placed a neat carton under the vehicle, in the morning i saw drops of oil from the compressor. Please what could be wrong and what is your advice to it. |

Gurus please I have a little issue concerning my car AC, it works well and blows cold, but the Radiator fan doesn't come on to cool the condenser and compressor. I actually didn't allow Kazeems to remove any of my car's thermostat so the radiator fan only come up once a while when temperature rises then stop after few seconds/minutes when everything goes normal or when moving. I believe when the AC is switched on, the radiator fan should start Automatically Just like my 2nd car but this one won't just come on. There was a time i started the car and switched on the AC trying to see if the fan will actually come on, i waited for about 4 minutes and then the Compressor started bringing out smoke due to overheating because the fan wasn't coming on since the engine temperature itself didn't rise. Now i am forced to only use the AC at high speed so air could blow into the system or remove one of my engine sensors to allow the fan start running immediately when the vehicle starts. Am not convenient with this as the Check Engine light is always on. Is there something i can do about this please? I dont want my fan running everytime the vehicle is working, neither do i want my compressor fried because fan wont respond to the AC coming on. Is there a fault somewhere? Help please. Car is Nissan Primera p11 1.6 |

Re: Closed by Rayd502(m): 5:18pm On May 31, 2018 |
@Gazzuz My AC works perfectly well but when turned on it makes a rattling noise,i noticed the noise comes from the pulley/belt around the compressor. I just want to seek your expert opinion b4 taking it to a technician.its a Camry muscle. Thanks |
Re: Closed by SortOut: 5:42pm On Jun 03, 2018 |
Why is it that whenever I switch On AC rev drops to about 700rpm and car starts shaking vigorously, and to put on D, Engine goes off, my Mechanic later increased the idle speed to about 1200rpm to sustain power for AC on D-Drive |

@ Gazzuzz, please I need your advise.. Vehicle is a Toyota Rav4, 06 model. The AC suddenly stopped cooling without warning, the AC technician traced and diagnosed the fault to be the sensor on the compressor and advised we: 1) buy a new sensor (advised against it as it might fail agaim) 2) convert to manual compressor ( claims this is the best action) 3) buy a new compressor 4) buy a Belgium compressor. Please what are your thoughts.. |
