    This kind of Thai male profile is frighteningly pervasive in Issan now, they sit around the villages making themselves a nuisance. Now with Covid they seem to have received reinforcements from those who used the pandemic as an excuse to quit their jobs in Bangkok. 

     

    IMHO the army should pick them all up and put them to work on all the dearly needed infrastructure projects that would give Thailand's economy a head start once the situation gets better. 

     

    But anything, short of making unemployment illegal for young men, would be welcome with the current rot the bring to the rural communities.

    no, I think they should better grow weed and stock it until tourists come back !

    anyway it will be fully legalized soon, better be ready !

    For a perfect job; I already mentioned this place. The owner has also taught his son (I think he speaks English). Air (R134a refrigerant), sound, batteries.

    Search Google maps:

    พัฒนาการออโต้แอร์, Phatthanakan Road, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, Thailand
    Double shophouse 50 meters after Soi 57/1, and just before UOB Bank.

    Ariel, what did they do on your car ?

    Sounds like the compressor to me. 

    Just call a service shop and have them come out. ACs are pretty basic machines; troubleshooting isn't a big deal. 

     

    It seems that you have never seen 4 DAIKIN technicians from the main daikin center in BKK not being able to locate a problem after 3 full days...

    sorry but it's so funny how foreigners understand life and people here !

    @sncoem Was it actually working reasonably well before being "serviced"?

     

    There are a whole bunch of scenarios from earlier posters which could be relevant (did they even use the correct refrigerant!).

     

    Either way, there's not actually a lot you can do if we identify an expansion valve fault.

     

     

    it was working not as good as after cleaning, maybe 48 hours to reach 26....

    now 24 hours only !

    I cleaned it one more time because it is not possible to fix it if it's not cleaned: the genius who called themselves engineers in this country are so sure that dirt is the only cause of the problem, that there is no way to discuss.

     

    As I said, no new refrigerant has been used, so there is not even one option explained until now that can be helptful.

    What about expansion or thermostat ? I am not a local genius but even without knowing anything it seems that the only 2 possible options are the valve and the thermostat. Why people cannot think about it ?

     

     

  5. Please people, I have explained that this aircon cool the room, just slower than before, so of course it blows cool air.

    and I repeat that it is clean. I just want to find what could be the cause for not cooling as fast as before.

    And I repeat before someone tells to clean it, blablabla... it is perfectly clean already ! thanks again.

    Nothing's good about BMW... Take a look at your own car, the inlet manifold is made of freaking PLASTIC! 

     

    Not even a Toyota Vios uses plastic for the Inlet Manifold! 

     

    BMW expensive as premium, yet gives you plastic all around the engine, which sooner or later causes oil leaks, compression leaks...

     

     

     

    no plastic in any benz...

    do you know if any new THC shop is now open at Pattaya ? As I won't visit the ridiculous clinic selling overprice useless GPO. All these places selling ganja food or drink do not sell weed to take away ?

     

     

    no, only the scammer sell its useless stuff...

     

     

  8. hi, aircon working but needs 24 hours to reach 26 degres.

     

    it has been cleaned 1 week ago and gas checked.

     

    What can be the problem of not cooling enough air conditioning ?

     

    I try to read and maybe it could be thermostat or expansion valve ?

     

    aircon cleaning company said that it works perfectly, when in the past if could reach 24 degres in 2 hours !

     

    It's a daikin inverter, is it possible that compressor works slower after few years, and then cool slower ? what else ?

     

    Thank you.

  9. Another thread was closed so I post here again what was explained and requested

    Car AC aircon air conditioning gas refill shops, how do they know that they put enough ? I think they just don't know ! But maybe you know ?

     

    Cheers,

    My car AC has a leak and until I fix it I have o refill few times a year.

    What is funny is that the only real way to know how much gas there is in the system, is to empty it (flush), and then put the amount required.

    When they just refill I wonder how they know what is the total gas in the system.

    For example my car should have 630g, but what they see when they refill is only low and high pressure, not the total gas in the car. Please check the pictures before and after refill, do you think that they refilled enough ? Or it's clearly impossible to know ?

    And what if they put too much ?

     

    I am wondering if any place is actually able to totally empty/flush the gas and refill it with required amount ?

    But how can they know that they inject 630g even when they gauge does not show any quantity ?

    Please tell me what I do not understand ?

     

    Greetings !

    I wish that people do not comment to tell me to fix the leak blablabla... as you can guess I already know it !

    The title of this post is:

    Car AC aircon air conditioning gas refill shops, how do they know that they put enough ? I think they just don't know ! But maybe you know ?

    And this is the only thing that I ask you. If you don't know, please just do not reply.

    Please correct me if I am wrong, but isn't flushing the system just a marketing gimmic for re-charging the AC with new/more gas?

     

    No diagnostic is done, so a defect expansion valve will not be detected. 

     

     

    Flushing is the only way to inject proper gas amount. Nobody knows how much they put when they refill because they didn't know how much gas was in the system before refill.

    Hi, do you know any Pattaya shop / garage that has this equipment to test air con system ?

    Thank you.

     

     

     

     

     

    Most do not have any equipment and detect leaks by experience. It's so funny how these "experts" are ridiculous and do not even know that if you detect leaks without a gas sniffer or dye, you are an idiot.
