Hi Guys,
My AC is not working properly. My car is a 2008 GXL with climate control and rear air con.
The symptoms are as follows:
Not very cold at front drivers side vents. The heater system works. I occasionally get a foggy mist from the vents.
Ambient temperature on passangers side vents. The heater system works.
Not very cold at rear vents.
There's no water dripping out of the front system under the car but there is water dripping out of the rear system under the car. I checked the front drain pipe coming out of the fire wall for blockage. It's clear.
The high pressure pipe at the compressor is too hot to touch but the low pressure pipe is only slightly colder than ambient.
The fan on the condensor didn't kick in after the car idled for 10 minutes with the AC on. The fan does work as I tested it by unplugging and connecting direct to 12V.
I've checked for signs of oil stains on the parts of the system that I can see under the engine bay. There's nothing obvious.
The compressor clutch engages when the AC button is pressed. It didn't cycle in and out in the 10 minutes I ran it at idle.
The system was regassed 3 weeks ago. I was told by the technician that the system was low on gas, down to approximately half weight. The system was evacuated and held vacuum for 40 minutes before it was regassed.
I'll be taking it back to the shop that regassed the system. Any idea as to what the problem could be?
Thanks,
