R32 A/c Not Cold?


T04GTR

I was having the problem with the hot/cold mixing actuator not working. When I got down in the passengers footwell I tried to move the rod by hand but it was completely stuck. After a bit of stuffing around I got the part with the motor that controls the actuator out and I started playing with it. When the motor was not connected to the other little cogs, it would run constantly. Also the cogs would turn freely on their own, however put them together and they wouldn't budge. Also I think I may have damaged the motor because after a while it wouldn't run at all.

Any ideas of what's going on?

Is it possible to have the locations of all the temp sensors. My Outside, Inside and intake sensor are reporting -21.6 whatever which means it isnt connected or is dead, but as most people have noticed the downloadable workshop manaul's pictures are too monochromatic to define exactly where they are.

I know that the Inside sensor is below the ashtray and from what i remember it looks like a funnel, or is this an airhose for a gremlim inside the dash of my car...

Widebody180: Apparently the majority of motor faults is broken solder points inside the motor box. I saw a tutoral on how to fix it, and you to go through where your sterio and A/C controls are to get to it without removing the entire dash.

Cheers!

i'd like to know the locations of sensors as well, is the interior 1 in an r32 on the top of the dash passenger side right under the window OR is it the 1 next to the ashtray?

Hi All ,

I have a 32gtr with the a/c not getting cold at all

i have done all the checks and all sensors temps are ok , all door and flaps work but still no a/c

Tried the FC option still no a/c

Had system regased - still no a/c

The compresor is not pulling in at all . the only way to make it pull in is to by pass the relay- then it will get cold

Any ideas as to where to look for the problem ????

Will be getting hot soon so would like it to work!!!!

i have a r32 gts t

my a/c works but not 100% it is not as cold as i would like but i can live with it. i had to disconnect the hotwater hoses coming into the box. From what i have seen the flap is not working. My main problem though is when i turn on the a/c it does not throttle up the car so it will shut off.

my readings are -21, 25, -26, 27 and this is in the night.

questions though

1. i do not need the heater but will the heater flap open caz it not to be as cold as it should

2. does these readings show that any sensors are gone bad? if so whats the fix

thanx in advance

they are my fault codes. so is there no hope ?

i think i am much better off than a lot of people on here with a/c problems caz mine is blowing cool and nice.

what does the codes i have show.

if it is sensors cant i install resistors or something?

Fault Codes

20 - all is normal

21 - outside air sensor

22 - Inside air sensor

23 - Water temperature sensor

24 - Intake temperature sensor

25 - Sunload sensor (small sensor on the left hand side of the dashboard near the windscreen)

26 - PBR

27 - Refrigerant temperature sensor

you fix sensors by replacing them. you add resistors if they are out of calibration - or - you want to over ride them.

so if my faults are21, 25, 26, 27 how do i know if they are gone bad or need calibration? or will i have to test the temp.?

Hi all awesome thread handy info cheers guys, my ac prob is abit diff.

All the sensors and that seem to be swt but the ac blows ambient air and when I turn it on and off it always resets and goes back to 25 degrees. Anyone had a similar prob? Or able to help?

Thanks Corin

Hey tested it on my mate 32 yesti and his one doesn't reset when u turn the ignition off, but it does when u disconnect the bat, anyways looks like I'll have to get an auto sparky to have a look

SMIK YER!!!1 this worked on my car , cost me nothing for the resistors too hahaha i got 2 and they were 6c each but the chick said they were on sale 1c each hahah so she just gave me my 5c back , went to the parking lot put the 2k resistor in and WOW cold freakin air ! love it , thanks heaps for everyones input

    • Sorry to sound thick....but what does the "faceplate" have to do with adjusting the odometer? Surely the odo stays put and you change the fascia. Surely they are not the same thing.
    • I know its been 13 years since this topic, but it came up when i was searching to fix my problem so thought i would add my 2cents in and how i fixed my issue.  my r33 had air coming out off all the vents except the center one. i went straight down the rabbit hole expecting it to be a mechanical issue, pulled the dash apart tracing lines, checking linkages etc. it turned out the very fine fly screen mesh behind the center vent was actually VERY blocked so when i had the air on face the air would take the path of least resistance and come out the 2 side vents but allow nothing out the center vent. a quick clean fixed the issue. once the mesh is clean you can see the air direction flaps moving inside through the mesh. 
    • Glad that worked out for you. I think my Joyeauto one is coming this week but I won't get to install it til closer to end of October. Will update when I get around to it. Just standard CP and nothing else. Hopefully the cameras all work without needing to get out of CP and get back in as they advertised. My other worry is sound quality. Fingers crossed!
    • Yeah, it is possible. But like many related things (ie, alternators), it's getting harder to find anyone who does and will, given the change to just throwing shit away and replacing with new cheap shit from Chinese factories. If you want to pursue the option of rebuilding, you'll have to dig up an auto A/C specialist or three to find out whether they still do.
