Car aircon on the driver side not cold, but passenger side are cool sent for checking & re-fill the Gas..RM95(gas) + RM28(leak detector)..RM123 burn...v

Fire,

Which workshop did u go? Seems funny that gas will leak out.
BTW, what is a leak dectator? [/b]

The gas are not leak out..it just tht the gas has reach low level..so whn you have very low gas inside the cylinder, the blower are not cool which are on the driver side due to aircon piping which is near the heat element in the engine compartment . due to insufficient gas, the air blow out is a bit humid and not cold..if comparing on the passenger side, the piping is not near the heat element tht why it is cold...leak detector basically is a liquid(flouresent green color, very small bottle) been mix together with the gas upon refill to enable the technican to troubleshoot your aircon. with leak detector, you don't have to leave your car overnight for them to dismantle everything on your aircon just to test whether it is leaking or not...you just drive & if it is cold, then there are no leakage, if still not cold, then there is a leakage...2 notice improvement after visit the aircon mechanic..1. the coldness are improved way better, mean very cold after tht..2.No more chirp chirp sound, which previously very annoying as .this "burung" keep on harping on you during drive..Now the aircon are very silent no more sound...

The name of the aircon shop is " U need Aircon" located at Ellis Road.

[chubby]

Where exactly is this place?

BT!

:yahoo:

 

[vinson]

MSP Auto is at No 19 Jalan SS 25/41, Taman Mayang Industrial Park, Taman Mayang, 47301, Petaling Jaya. :yahoo:

On LDP, leaving from Taman Tun Dr Ismail, make a U-turn under the overhead bridge before Giant. Then take the 2nd left turn where you see a large billboard (cannot remember what billboard due to the frequency of the ads changing). You will see a large Supercab workshop on your left. Go further up and you will see MSP. :yahoo:

Chubby, if you need help, call me. :yahoo:

air bag warning light on again yesterday

:angry: :beaten:

 

[tkew]

i think is the loop/sensor on the front seat lah my brother car got the same problem coz fabric for most jap spec,

fren what u do on the front seat until air bag also on..... 2 not enough ah..................

 

[vinson]

Common problem. During warranty, I replaced the air bag sensor under the driver's seat too. Due to numerous adjustment of the seat - back and forth - the plug tends to get disconnected and the cable tends to break.

Check connection...if fail, sad to say that you have to replace you air bag sensor.
:beaten:
The function of the sensor is to ensure sufficient weight is on the seat for the air bag to explode. It is a safety function. For example, if you have a baby chair with a baby on the seat and the seat belt in place...the sensor is suppose to tell the airbag NOT to trigger as there is insufficient weight to be an adult in the seat. :yahoo:

In simple words...it is to prevent suffocation of your baby in the baby chair. :yahoo:

whn running the DVI., at the ZKE General Module V section, it'll check all of the 29 relays......

any one of them relay kaput, will show up as FAULTY in the DVI..

(mine, the central locking kaput...no way i hope to just change THAT relay.)

so, lifespan? honestly how do one rate all the 29 different parts and its relays lifespan altogether?

point to note : once any of the elecrtronic devices acting up...go chk with the ZKE...

cross your fingers then........
