Honda City 2015, Strange Ac issue, running 50k KM

[atif.saeed.355]

Pakwheelers please help and suggest reliable Ac service shop near wapda/johar town
i was travel from KHI to LHR, after 4-5 hours AC cooling slowing down and down, even we have stayed 2-3 hours car stopped but again when car running about 1-2 hours car ac cooling slowing down even on high speed fan, i have checked my bonnet the ac pipe water is not cooled too much, we reach bahawalpur around 10PM night and keep rest for 30min, cooling started but again after 1 hour i have checked my bonnet car ac pipe is freezing as seen in pic
normally Ac running perfect in Lahore city even this season, there is no issue
again yesterday i travel from ISL to LHR, the ac cooling slowing down after 1.5 hour of driving and seen ac pipe is freeze (also saw white smoke or cooling vapours from ac grill in cabin), stayed for 10min in rest area then there is no issue from Chakwal rest area to LHR, ac working fine and cooling at its peak

my point is if there is gas leakage then why its cooling is normal in LHR city or short trip
i guess from 2015 there is no AC service done, i purchase car at 21000KM OCT 2017 its in genuine condition
recommend good ac technician in Johar/Wapda town LHR to check car or may be doing ac service problem will resolve
please comment

Seems like low gas pressure. Maybe some leakage in the system which cause the refrigerant gas to escape leading to low cooling. Need to get the complete refrigerant circuit checked for leakage and then refill with gas. Better go to a Honda dealership if not familiar with local AC mechanics.

Visit reliable honda dealership. City sales and honda township is closer to you.

Gas leak causes this. Get it serviced. Usually with honda city the o rings get old and needs replacement which are not that expensive.

I wouldnt recommend them for AC diagnostics. For me they told me ac sensor needed to be changed. Went to honda gateway, it was just low gas. Problem solved.

Read the below, key line 'Plastics usually become porous over time which contributes to refrigerant loss in car systems.'

https://www.advair.com.au/why-you-shouldnt-need-a-regas-of-your-home-air-conditioner/

when gas is low, it can cause ice to form over time on the inner condensor. Thus cooling is lost after some time. I had a similar issue, topped up the gas. Honda gateway have a gas charging machine. It will take out whatever gas you have and fill it back up to the proper amount. I was told 420 grams of gas is the required amount.

zabardast. sir did u also sort the leakage out ? why was the gas low ?

[crude101]

which brand of gas do they use ? just for my information !

[adeelbhutta79]

How much did they charge for refilling of gas?

[roony]

there was no leak. According to them, and from what I was able to research later its normal for the car ac system to lose gas yearly. It was 6 years since the last refil so since then gas became low. 2 summers now no issue.

I dont know the type of gas used, didnt think to ask.

[roony]

went with a reference, they didnt charge anything.

[crude101]

Chalein as long as ur problem is solved. Good luck

Salam
I have same problem with my city 2015. Uploading...
So was ur problem same? Like loss of cooling after 50 km and blower speed dies to minimum.
If it is so then plz tell me what u did to solve ur problem.

[atif.saeed.355]

yesterday went to Honda gateway they charged 8000 plus tax total amount: 9280
Ac complete service, didn't find any leakage, they told me your model is 2015, its normal problem dueto ac service not done since 4 years, also they are using Honey well USA gas, my car gas quite low only 220 gm, they filled remaining quantity to make it 420gm

[roony]

solution for me is here

Salam Is ur problem solved? As im also having same problem with my city 2015 If solved then what was the solution? Im quite worried about this as i live in remote area where no good mechanic is available

same as mentioned in the above post.

[hassan_khan2]

Salam can i get this done from outside other than honda.
Ask the mechanic to i just check the leakege and refill the ac gas full?
Other than this?

[atif.saeed.355]

wsalam yes you can do this if ac guy is reliable, i know same work done from market may be in half price but going to Honda just for piece of mind

[emzee92]

What was the breakdown of this expense?
