air con dramas

[silver gts-t]

having this hot weather comming on and my leather seats burning my a$$ i thought it would be to get my shitty air con working

now theres gotta be other r32's with the same problem out there

basically the air con only blows out air at the outside temp.

the heater works fine though.

is there a part that i can replace that will fix it?? or does it need re-gasing?

if so isnt there an old type of gas and a new type, and the old type would have to be totally replaced?

please help me im losing 5kg everytime i drive

thanks

Check to make sure the air con belt is still on, and if it is, and it's still only blowing outside air, then it most definately from the sounds of it, needs regassing, there are two types of gas, not sure what the r32 uses, and not sure of the particulars, my r33's aircon has always worked fine so never needed to check up on it, but i needed to regas the excel, and that cost me 158 bucks! ... hope some of this helps.

Compressor could also be stuffed. I've got to get mine looked at as well

If you find somewhere good for the regas who doesn't rape your arse pirce wise, post it up as I'm sure there would be a few of us in this same boat.

I've got an 89 R32 which I got regassed a couple of months ago. It had the old gas, so the place which regassed it used a replacement gas, which means the whole thing doesn't have to be replaced, but the gas is safe. All up cost about $160.

no worries sounds like a simple regassing,

thanks for the help

When you turn the aircon on can you feel it kick in and the car jolt a little? if not i doubt the compressor is working. In my case it was a problem with the computer.

and car idles higher

but no cold air!!!!!!!!!!!!!

silver gts-t, its unusual that the clutch on your compressor will engage if you have no gas in the system as there is a pressure switch to combat this. Ask yourself, if you have no gas how did it escape? Usually its due to an o ring failure. If the system hasn't had gas for sometime then the problem is multiplied as a lubricant is added with the gas to keep the o rings moist etc. Plenty of places will be happy to gas the system for you but ensure they use a "squeeler" afterwards to detect if any gas is escaping under load, otherwise you'll be visiting them quite regularly for the $150 privilege.
