AE100 A/C PROBLEM

[mohan]

hi dudes dunno if anyone can shed sum light on this matter
i have an ae100 corolla, but the a/c has given me sum probs awhile now, in the day time its get hot when the a/c is running and in the evening to night, it works rel good.
i have changed compressor, condenser and fan and evaporator in the past.

[dmitc]

i've been there before, had to buy a front half and swap out everything at once, been working fine ever since.
I'll advise you check ravi in the bamboo (saturday morning is the best time) if you from around that area

CALL MOSES @ 7959972 he real good.

[mohan]

d madam gettin on bad lol

[buzz]

i'd start by checkin the condenser fan

my 101 had the same problem, then i checked an electrician who said the fan was supposed to be "2 speed" or something like that

after that fix and some gas topping up i was good to go


but its best you check your a/c tech for the best advice

i had this same problem check my tech in d bamboo yesterday, what he said was d length of time i didn't use it is y i was getting this problem.all he did was top it up check for leaks and it's all good now.

[HondaR]

using substitute gas also cause that problem

What is this substitute gas , some cheap chinese freon or something?Reason i ask is because we had 3 cars topped up with the a/c freon and all exhibit these symtoms and is was topped up by the same person.

[Anil_Sooknanan]

415B gas. many AC men uses this gas because it is cheaper, what it actually does is put a strain on the compressor on the high side blah blah blah, i does use 134A gas on ppl car

[skablow]

R134A Is The Better gas to use most tech's use the other gases cause it cheaper and u will have to keep on going back by them.

[Hook]

^^^ There's no "better" gas to use. You use what the system was designed to take. Newer systems use the R143A.

The older AE100 Corollas use the R12 gas. It's marked on the compressor. Switching to the R134A is not a simple matter of just pumping in a new gas, components need to be changed and it costs ALOT. There's even particular grades of oil to be used for the each of the different gases.

When one of my lines burst and it was repaired and filled withthe R134A, I never got the cooling I used to get, until I was alerted to this and shown on my compressor that it uses the R12, I made the change back to what it's supposed to be and it's been working great ever since.
