Is there a write up anywhere that show how to service the AC on the X? tried looking but no luck car AC just isn't as cold any more, it's an 2008 MR. Don't know if charging the system is any different than my Nissan or Mazda. So any help is truly appreciated!

 

If your a/c is not blowing as cold, chances are you have a leak somewhere in the a/c system. Being that the a/c system is a seal component it shouldn't leak, If you're not too familiar with a/c system, I would just pay a local shop to evacuate and recharge the system with some dye in it, drive it around a week or so with the a/c running and take it back to them so they can see if there is a leak anywhere. If its not a huge leak you may be able to just live with it until it gets worst.

 

thanks for the advise

 

definitely check for leaks. no point adding refrigirants as it will only leak again.

currently fixing a 1999 suzuki grand vitara, have to change the dryer. whats weird is i did not find any leaks on any "joints" but rather around the sight glass so there is no way to just tigten it but have to replace the entire dryer.

 

I will add if your pollen filter is dirty it will restrict airflow making the cooling element freeze faster, in turn cause your compressor to release clutches early and more often.

 

hey thanks everyone for all the advices. I'll will try the cabin filter first than onto looking for leaks.
