AoA all,
i saw lot of posts regarding the AC issue with Cuore and couldn't found the right solution for my problem. Currently, my mechanic is trying to fix the AC issue and still no results. Here is the problem in details and what my mechanic did so far:
Problem:
After running the car for up to 15 to 20 minutes with AC on, my AC start tripping. It's trip for like 2 minutes and then start running again for 15 seconds or so, then trip again and so on...
Short-term Solution i used often:
When i have to drive for an hour, i usually keep a 1.5 litre water bottle with me. When my AC trip most of time (i.e. not running for even 15 seconds), i stop the car and pour the water on Radiator (note: not inside radiator, just pour on it like spray). After doing this, When i start my car, my thermometer drops to "C" and my AC start working for at least 10 minutes!!! ... Now, i want to fix this issue.
Mechanic Analysis:
When i told this problem to my mechanic, he said that my gaskit is half burned or misplaced. He suggest me that i should replace my Gaskit with new one and the problem will get resolved. Last saturday, he took my car and replace the Gaskit but when we goes for test drive, my AC stop working again (just like before).
Today, i told my mechanic that last year, when i service my radiator, then, we found out that my cuore ThermoStat was not working at all (it was jam up badly and also melted from the top too). At that time, we just throw the thermostat out of the car and from that day, my cuore is running without Thermostat. By doing so, my cuore AC is now run for upto 30 minutes.
Currently, my mechanic said that if we install thermostat then the problem will resolved but unfortunately, this is not the case. Right now, he is replacing the AC trip control plug (i don't know what they call it) and saying that it will resolve the issue (which i doubt it). So, here i am ... looking for EXPERT advice
One more thing, my mechanic is against the use of Coolant (i don't know why). Right now, i have no coolant whatsoever in my radiator and every time i remind him to put some coolant in it and he said coolant se tu gari aur garam ho jate hai :S
Please... help....
