A/C is intermittently warm and cold especially during a hot day. Took the car to an A/C specialist shop - the gas refrigerant was found to still full. The A/C specialist mechanic concluded (from experience) that (normally after 4 years) the A/C bottle (i.e. dryer) and the expansion valve would need replacement if it exhibits this kind of anomaly. Both items were replaced and no further problems with cooling were encountered - repair costs included refilling the A/C system with new refrigerant. |
