Thread: Weird Aircon / Cooling Question

Well I realised that my fans were dead when my car (RRC 92) was difficult to start in Kunnunurra and the V belt slipped , even though I knew it was tight.

So I only used the aircon while moving over about 40 Kmh until I got home.
I noticed that the air was not all that cold, so after I fitted new fans, I had the local aircon guy come out.

The aircon had lost a lot of gas because the head pressure was much higher than normal although the low pressure cutout had not tripped.

If you could guarantee that you never used it while travelling slowly or stopped you could not replace them, but who can guarantee that.

10inch Calibre fans are about $70 each from Supercheap and they are easy to fit and blow up a storm. I fitted one 10 inch calibre and used an old 12 inch Davies craig I had under the house, but the calibre is by far the better.

if it aint broke, dont fix it!

Just checking that you've found that the two interlocks are working and that the fans are seized or something.

It's always handy to have a backup fan if the main fan flips a blade.
