Swiftee Clutched July 22, 2012 Share July 22, 2012 Hi all bros, Need some advice on this issue. Recently my a/c only blows colder when accelerating. For example, it is below average cold when travelling ard 50-60km/h but when travelling in expressway it get alot colder. Anyone has such experience? Thanks. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kb27 Supersonic July 22, 2012 Share July 22, 2012 Your radiator fan working ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic July 22, 2012 Share July 22, 2012 When the a/c starts to blow hot air when it's not supposed to dan you worry. Anything other dan that you just ignore it. When the ambient temperature aka outside air is cool and your car is on the move it creates moving air to cool the cooling coil more effectively. If let's say you are driving in the wee hours in the morning you will find that happening. That's why in the morning wee hours windows of aircon buses fog up easily. That's nothing weird about it. It's physics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftee Clutched July 22, 2012 Author Share July 22, 2012 Thank you KB27 and watwheeles for the kind reply. Both sound very logical. Car is coming to 5 yrs old soon. I just did a major servicing on Sat like change the timing, radiator belt....water pump on sat. And this issue started surfacing. Maybe will call the workshop and ask them. See what they say. Hopefully they dont play tai.chi. Sigh...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ER-3682 Twincharged July 22, 2012 Share July 22, 2012 Ask the mechanic check the gas level,if not enough,top it up & see,if 1-2 weeks the level drop,means somewhere leaking[usually the coils]...then repair is needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terratoss 1st Gear July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 Last time I used to have this problem due to low lvls of gas remaining inside the a/c. So you might want to as your workshop to check if gas lvls is low or not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVT Supercharged July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 Have you checked if the aircon directional knob (circulate interior air or in-coming) is working properly? Probably it gets colder when it moving becos it sucks in the air from the front... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyojin 1st Gear July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 check ur a/c fan. 1. open bonnet 2. start engine 3. turn on air con 4. go to engine bay to check if fan is running could also be in sufficient aircon refrigerant (gas) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terratoss 1st Gear July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 check ur a/c fan. 1. open bonnet 2. start engine 3. turn on air con 4. go to engine bay to check if fan is running could also be in sufficient aircon refrigerant (gas) Yea.. I concur with kyojin. Since you mentioned your veh is already 5 yrs old and you did not top up gas at all before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfy3769 2nd Gear July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 maybe send ur car for the radiator wash or engine bay wash... i notice my aircon cooler after I wash the engine bay or radiator.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5936 1st Gear July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 Before going down to workshop, there are 2 things you can do to ascertain aircon's status: 1) check if fan is working- as mentioned by kyojin and others 2) Check refrigerant level- look for a small 10cent size sight glass. Turn on aircon and observe flow of refrigerant. bubbles all the way means low level. Initial bubbling and followed by liquid flow means sufficient refrigerant.

Previous owner did an aircon servicing not long ago. Wonder if anyone experience this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
