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?

salamat po sir lowslowbenz, dr.d and macsd. bumalik po ulit ako kanina dun sa car aircon repair para itanong yung nangyari at wala nga daw po masamang epekto yun. salamat ulit mga sir sa mabilis nyo na sagot. nga pala sir dr.d hiwalay po ang belt ng alternator.

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.

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.

ask ko lang po..dati nag-o-automatic on-off ang A/C ng pregio ko pero ngayun lagi na lang naka-on. bakit po kaya? TIA

Saan po ba pwede magpa-check ng a/c? Yung kotse po kasi ng uncle ko sira ang aircon. Last time na napalagyan niya ng freon, 3 days lang parang oven toaster na uli sa loob. Tapos kahit ilagay mo sa full yung selector ng aircon, ang buga niya minimum lang ng mga bagong sasakyan, yung parang halos walang lumabas na hangin sa vent. Pag tinuturuan niya tuloy ako mag-drive, para kaming nag-sauna! Haha! Anyway, saan po kaya place na pwede? We live in Tatalon area by the way. It would be best if you can give a name of a shop, if it's not in violation of the forum's rules and regulations. Thanks in advance!
