Aircon Question (help me please!)

**i.s.bulalas** · September 6th, 2012 07:09 PM

Good day mga ka Tsikoters pa tulong naman po. pina check ko po kasi last week yung aircon ng auto ko (toyota 97 xl) at na diagnose na sira ang compressor. kaya lang po ay next week pa ako magka budget for new compressor. ang siste po di sinasadya na buksan ng pamangkin ko yung aircon habang patay ang makina at naka baklas ang compressor. meron po ba hindi magandang epekto yun sa aircon system ng auto? salamat po sa pagbasa ng aking katanungan at sa pagsagot narin... Godbless.

Wala, naka baba ang compressor diba? So ang gagana dyan blower lang and/or condenser fan. I see no harm happening.

my fear is, since the compressor is already out, the fan belt powering that compressor pulley isn't going to do anything else. i'm not familiar with the xl, but i hope the alternator is powered by another belt..
btw, i read sometime back, that some compressors can be rebuilt, but they won't perform as good or as long as original.
is it worth having them rebuilt?

follow up question narin po. ok din po ba i-paayos ko pa yung compressor kasi pwede pa naman daw gawin yun nga lang pareho nung sinabi ni dr.d na kahit maayos ang compressor ay hindi na katulad ng performance ng hindi pa nasisisra. baka po may suggest kayo na mabibilhan ng surplus na compressor or brand new nalang talaga medyo mahal lang talaga at kapos pa sa budget. muli salamat po.

naaayos pa naman, depende sa condition ng seals. try mo muna yung option na yun.

Yung compressor ng Sentra namin, repair lang din since wala pang budget to buy a brand new or kahit surplus. Nagawa naman po ng aircon shop na napuntahan namin yun nga lang hinde ganun kalamig kahit nasa number 3 or even 4 na yung aircon. Main player po ba ang compressor sa pagiging malamig ng aircon or meron pang ibang parts na dapat icheck para mapalamig ito ng husto?

compressor.. freon.. evaporator coil.. auxiliary fan.. metal tubing! they all have their roles to perform, and if any one of them fail to do so, we all get hot under the collar.
but the compressor is the most visible and most expensive of the bunch..

In the long run, you will spend more if you opt for multiple repairs of those items, not to mention the time you spent on it. Getting a new one is always better.

My compressor on my 13 year old car was about to give up, I think, when I went to my trusted shop, the cost of repair would amount to around 4 to 5k, same as a suplus, a reconditioned would cost around 10k, and brand new was 16k. I went for the brand new, at least nothing to worry for the next 10years or so. You will always get what you pay for.
