[QUOTE="amizana, post: 40826, member: 130"] My air-cond went out of gas on Friday (31 Dec,2004). The gas has just been re-filled 3 weeks ago. The mechanic checked using bubble along the tubing, tabung gas and found leakeage at the connection between the tubing and receiver drier (the tabung gas). Changed a new drier, O-ring and refill R134 gas. Total cost + labour = RM150. After changing the new drier and trying out for 2 days, the air-cond is not cooling enough (compared to the old drier) especially in the hot afternoon. The old drier looks OK to me. But the mechanic insist to change a new one. The O-rings have worn out and that is why I think that the leakeage encountered was at the tubing and the drier joint. The mechanic I went to is a normal workshop were I always send my perdana for servicing. Any of you had the same problem? Then, how to regain coolness during afternoon hot weather? Should I change back to the old drier and replace only the O-ring? The air-cond receiver drier can easily rosak meh..? :( The history of the former drier is unknown. Maybe the previous owner never change the drier before. [/QUOTE]
