Just wanna share my experience...

A couple of weeks ago, I had this problem with my car's air conditioning. Specially during our uber hot summer afternoons when the sun's directly above our head, it doesn't seem to be able to cool the car's passenger compartment, more so if I have 3 other people with me in the car. I distinctly remember bringing the car 2 months ago for a refrigerant refill, so it shouldn't be that ... then again could it be leaking? I had it checked, there was no problem.

Recently, I made this long trip up to Caliraya Lake. We started our travel fairly late in the morning, sad to say we caught the monstrous traffic at Bicutan and it was 1pm. Suddenly, as if it had a mind of its own, the thermometer needle in my console, suddenly started moving up and down. I observed it for a while and realized that it jumps up when I was moving slowly but goes back to its normal position when I speed up. Since the road to Caliraya ain't exactly like NLX, I was moving at a fairly conservative pace, I was in the brink of overheating. Luckily, we made it to the resort before it became critical, I immediately cooled her down and refilled the radiator with cool water. I think I've poured in over 3 liters of water! She was dry to the bones! It was amazing the engine didn't seize up. Lucky me ... or so I thought.

I said to myself, maybe, water was no longer sufficient. With temperatures in the shade during the afternoon reaching beyond 40 degrees celcius, I was convinced that I needed something better. So I got myself to buy 2 liters of radiator coolant to mix with my "pure water" radiator. At first I thought the problem was over, for a while my thermometer's needle was again still and stable but it didn't stay that way. The following day, the problem was back. Now this time I'm really worried.

I brought my car to an aircon / electrical shop and found out my aircon fan's motor is busted, carbon brushes were all used up. We replaced the whole motor and everything's ok. My car's a/c is now cool again and its been 3 incident-free days... maybe its just me but I feel its even cooler than before.
