Portable Air Conditioner for Car - Car Talk Community
2009年5月27日 · There exists no portable air conditioning unit for cars. Your car already has the ductwork and the fusebox AC capability, but you’d need to add as a minimum a compressor, a condensor (in many cars it’s a part of the radiator, in many it’s a seperate small radiator), and an evaporator, as well as the control panel.

2010年7月8日 · “I had the car for about 4 years now, and the air conditioner had been all right when I first bought it, but it has been progressively getting warmer.” Since the performance of the system seems to have deteriorated, an automotive AC shop visit is in order.

Emergency air compressor blew cig-lighter fuse? - Car Talk …
2014年10月19日 · Trying to stay on top of my maintenance, I was topping off the air pressure for the spare tires in my 2 vehicles. I only have access to those tiny, cheap compressors (2) they put in emergency roadside kits. The cigarette lighter in vehicle A (Equinox) was not working, and being that it had been left uncovered, I think some food crumbs and possibly rust killed it. Not sure. Cig lighter in ...
AC low pressure port doesnt fit freon hose - Car Talk Community
2020年6月7日 · I know I’m using the right port. I am not using the high pressure port. And I can not for the life of me fit the hose onto the low pressure port to charge my ac.

Weird air conditioner noise - Car Talk Community
2009年6月10日 · My 2007 Honda CRV makes an ear-piercing noise, similar to what a dog whistle sounds like when I’m driving at high speeds on the interstate. Some times it’s when I’m driving 40ish mph on a city street with an incline, or an incline on the Interstate. I thought it was my engine, but now I’ve noticed it only happens when the air conditioner is on. When I turn the AC off, the noise stops ...
Better for air conditioner unit: recycled air or outside air?
2010年9月3日 · Theoretically only, the recycled air is both cooler and has less moisture in it. The cycle is designed for quick cool-down when you start up the car. However, car manufacturers HAVE to tell you that it’s not healthy to recirculate the same air over and over. You need fresh air; so the recycle is only recommended to start the cooling process.
Air Conditioner Oil Slick on Windshield - Car Talk Community
2009年7月13日 · Replacing the compressor would have no effect. If it’s not antifreeze (still my first guess), and it is oil from the air conditioner, the only way it would get on your windshield is if there is a leak in the evaporator coil. If it’s a big enough leak to cause this rapid of a problem, an AC shop should be able to detect it with a leak finder.

2014年9月3日 · I own a 2001 Toyota Echo. When I turned on the air conditioner, the fan would run, but there was no cooling. I took it to the Toyota dealer for repair, and the problem was a bad compressor. The compressor was repaired and the a/c worked. Twelve days later, the a/c would not cool. I took it back to the dealer, and the problem was “Found clutch melted to AC compressor.” Fortunately, the ...
Lexus LS460 air conditioning acting weird - Car Talk Community
2020年3月7日 · 2011 LS460, 26,000 miles. About a year ago, the Lexus dealer replaced the a/c air filter (I believe it was the one behind the glove box.) Since then, the a/c has been erratic. Among the things it has done at least once include: Cold air from dash vent, hot air from bottom vent, simultaneously; blows cold air from dash vent when car starts, even when the ambient temp is cold; outside temp reads ...
