AOA,
from few days my civic exi 2005 ac was not working properly.i got visted to a ac shop who charge some r 134a and said that compressor is weak so u better change this.after 1 day of that visit cooling was again too low i visted that ac shop again.they sad that car compressor is weak so tha he leaks th gas.
i went an other shop..they also said that compressor is too weak to work.
so i decied to change the compressor and yesterday i done it and now its chilling even in city drive in these hottest days of summer.
to my surprize when thay opend the whole ac unit there was lot of some thing like blackish mud and it took 3kg of r 22 gas to wash the condenser and pipes.ac shop wala said that this mud is becoz of brsted drier bottel.this mud was blocking the gas from circulating and thus the compressor got overload and stop working and became weak and weak.
here r the details of what thay charged me.
