hi guys,

can someone recommend an air con specialist in the Sydney area?

having issues with my car's aircon that is currently playing up.

It will go cold, then hot then cold (when moving) and then stay hot for awhile (even when moving).

If i try again later, it might get cold for a brief period and then start blowing hot air again when i come to a stop.

it is hit and miss and sometimes will not get cold for a long period (20-30mins) and with sydneys heat wave this week, i was dying in the car.

had the aircon checked at local mechanics and there is definitely gas left and is not leaking.

so after recommendations for a air con specialist to have a look and determine what the exact root of the problem is, as it is very frustrating.

Thanks in advance...

There used to be a group buy for Frosty Auto Air in Bass Hill. He does good work. I've also used Hahn Automotive in Alexandria, but that was just a re-gas after i changed the condensor. Also seemed good.

Also dont forget the auxilliary fan diode mod in the DIY section. It should help with the going hot when stationary issue.

Hey guys,

Call Pete from Pulse Auto Electrics. His shop is located in castle hill and has heaps if experience with aircon and also imports.

He should be able to mate, just give him a call and have a chat to him

Pulse regassed my aircon, after finding a leak in one of the lines and after pulling half the car apart to get to it.

Excellent service and a good price for the amount of mucking around to get the pipe out which needed to be welded.

BE AWARE WHEN BUILDING DUMP PIPES TO ALLOW ROOM TO GET AIRCON REGASSING FITTING ON.

On this topic is there any info for a recommended aircon place near lower north shore? I think mine needs re-gassing, but would good to get hychill if anyone can recommend a place? I have done a bit of searching online but can't tell who has it without calling each joint.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
