Dear All,
Would like to ask, my car AC is giving my symptoms that it won't engage properly. There are 2 scenarios to describe my issues:
1.) When outside is damn hot, the compressor clutch will stop working all of the sudden and blows hot air. It's random and it can be rectified if i turn on and off the A/C system.
2.) At high fan speed, the compressor clutch will stop working at random timing.
So far the things i did to try and fix it:
1.) Replace the freon filters
2.) Replace the compressor oil
3.) Replace cabin air filter
4.) Recharge gas
5.) Pressure is optimum
Results: Ice cold aircond but still clutch behaves like what i described.
I consulted with 3 aircond guys and each other came up with different solutions:
1.) Replaced the magnetic clutch and keep the compressor, my compressor is quiet and pressure is well.
2.) Replaced the whole compressor
So i need some insights on how i should proceed, an original Lancer 08 compressor can priced up to 1k. Appreciate any feedback from expert.
Thanks,
Ken
