Ive got a few pics, they arent very interesting, but ill put one up for you

[Trust33]

Yeah i went there yesterday and the air is like ice.When he was testing the temp from the vents it was measuring 4dc to max of 5.5dc.Pretty cold.

He also said to give him an hour and a half but he was only an hour.What he did was change the filter,seals and regas.

Hey steve he looks like a relative of yours.I could see a bit of facial resembelance.:lol:

[N1GTR]

Yeah - its that cold you wont be using full fan with ac on, i cant handle 100% fan and ac at 18 now. Ice is a good way to describe it!

..........no relation

[Trust33]

haha!

hey im missing this little bottle in top pic do they replace this in the change over

[N1GTR]

Yeah it gets replaced, just make sure you have the connections though

[SXC180]

hmm sounds great ... ill give them a call in a week or so when i get some cash mine is just blowing out normal air which isnt anywhere near cold an is very annoying in this heat lately

[N1GTR]

Like the above posts, you wont have a problem with heat after getting it done

I had the A/C in my R32 GTR looked at on tuesday by a local mob. They hooked up the gas rig to re-gas it and told me all the pressures and everything was perfect. They regassed it anyway (for free) and their was no difference and then told me it was because my FMIC was blocking airflow to the A/C compressor.

Anyone else had this problem or do I just need to visit a better workshop (ie the mob in this Groupbuy) ?

Edit: Well Phil just told me more about my A/C problems on the phone in 5mins then 3 local workshops did in 3hrs (my last tuesday afternoon) so i'm booked in tomorrow to get some work done

Post up how you go

[PHATR32]

hey guys, i hear that the new gas slowly leakes through the rubber ac hosing? would you aircon guy have anymore info?

wish he was in perth

[Trust33]

I am going to call phil 2moz.

I have this problem when i turn the air con on.It makes a loud gassing sound about every 5 mins just cruising which in turn dips the power for a second.It could just be the compressor tho.

And lately it has made an even weirder sound.And i think it is air con related.

I will post up how it all turns out.

Rock on SAU BBQ!!!

hey N1GTR - can he rebuild compressors?

I need new bearings, and maybe get the clutch done at the same time. If i send him mine could he rebuild it and send it back to me here in Adelaide?

Could you ring and ask him prices etc for me? (save me an interstate call )

Cheers

[N1GTR]

I would ring him for you but am flat out this week - when you say rebuild the compressor wouldnt it be cheaper and easier to buy one off a half cut?

[Bl4cK32]

Then i end up with another second hand compressor vs. a rebuilt one Thats ok if you cant ring this week, maybe when you're free after?

[benm]

Bah give him a ring yourself, it'll cost you like $2 which is money well spent

[benm]

Well I visited Phil this arvo and he certainly knows what he is on about. Took a whole 5mins to diagnose my problem (leaking hose) so he just regassed it to get me by until I can get the car back to him for an entire to have it fixed/serviced.

When I arrived the AC was set to 18.0c but was actually blowing 27c air and when I left it was blowing 5.1c air, friggin freezing (but its leaking so its quickly getting warmer again).

Bl4cK32 - Phil can rebuild the compressors, I asked him today for you. He said to definitely give him a call so that he can grab some more details.

[Bl4cK32]

thanks for that benm. I'll ring him soon

[N1GTR]

As above, id ring him for you next week if you want, but i would be wasting his time seeing as i dont have the part in front of me and couldnt answer his questions on the unit

He is a good guy, and knows his stuff, im sure if he can help you he will

[firecracker]

Hi SAU members!!

does anyone knows a part number for R32 GTST A/C compressor? and if you know other alternative compressor that fits R32.

my A/C been a pain in the b**t! first Outside temp sensor was out and I fixed it.

second, gas was out so I regased it and now, compressor won't kick in and keep blowing fuses.

any help will be great!!

Cheers!!
