My engine bay is always clean but as I m using it as a daily driver for the last 4 months hence the grime.

saeen, install a MF condensor from a corolla or something, basically the largest available brand new condensor. Then use it with R134 like it was meant to. Jugaar will never work

i think...if the previous compressor died after malfunctioning and threw debris into system before dying...then there is no way condenser/ evaporator of this size can be 100% cleaned...some particles will always remain there which will keep creating issues every now and then..

if you want to keep it trouble free and enjoy peace of mind...then try to find a replacement condenser and evaporator, WASH all the lines...rinse compressor couple of times to clean it...get a new dryer bottle...also a new expansion valve..meant for R134a also go fo R134a gas...

fit everything back using fresh o rings, get the ND-8 oil as required...while fitting the dryer dont expose it to atmosphere...install it as soon as possible ...dont use air to pressure leak test, rather go for nitrogen...

fill in R134a made by honeywell as per required quantity...sit in the car and drive...thats All!

too much for desi ac wala 30 salaaa tajurbaa ustaad to understand and implement

they will always blow in dryer bottle to check blockage and install it everytime back saying its working OK.

janab....to address the debris issue...i suggested to find a replacement condenser and evaporator...means change them...means big $$$

if agreed for above then go back to r134a....otherwise you can take chances and fix the current configuration...good luck with that as well..

also in Pakistan below cars came with serpentine type condenser from factory with R134a application, i think AC worked pretty well, what do u say:

1. Indus shape Corolla E100
2. Suzuki Baleno
3. Dolphin shape Civic

Unfortunately, I can't. Let's say that the 80 series has been unofficially been sold.

i think that something is freezing up and causing a blockage, probably the expansion valve, is the freezer still working? look into solutions related to the expansion valve as probably getting frozen and stuck, if there is nothing that you can find, then its back to stage 1, this time take a sensible and more situation friendly approach.
Some times upgrades are better than the original, especially when its something that has to be serviced

i think sticking with r12 at the moment is the right approach.

try and trouble shoot in a sequential manner.

you can also by pass the climate control to be sure that it has nothing to do with cooling of the system.

i recently faced the issue of no cooling in the cabin and otherwise on the outside AC is working best, upon investigation (without messing with anything) a simple observations solved the issue i.e. the hot and cool knob (in manual system) was turned by some kid to hot side.

so please look into it one step at a time. i dont think its coz of debris in the system or expansion valve malfunction. just check it slowly and easily in a step wise manner.
