Vios 2005 Air Cond Smelly

[lengonn]

Dear Sifus,

I encounter burning smells whenever I accelerate above 130km++, brought my car to a few workshop and even Toyota Service they could not identify the problem.

Actually I did off my aircond and accelerate above 130km++ but the burning smells still come in. I'm not sure if the smells are from aircond or not?

Any Sifus can guide me on this problem? I took for servicing a few times and changes the filter but still the same problem encountered.

Please help. . TQ

the compressor could be giving symthoms of problems...

confirm again whether is it exhaust fumes or burnt smell?

 

[arturo]

yah...could be a/c compressor...try revving to hiway speed rpm at idle n ask somebody to check if any burn smell coming from engine area n where the source. could be compressor oil low...

 

[risyia]

it could be a slipping air con/alternator belting at high revs, the friction btw the rubber belt & the pulley giving out burning rubber smell

 

[lengonn]

I had it revved idle and the smell are definitely coming from the engine area but could not identify where and which parts is causing that rubber smell problem..

arturo, does this mean I need bring to the service shop to check my compressor oil?

 

[arturo]

if it smells like rubber burning...means is most prolly as Risyia says. any smoke?

 

[lengonn]

never notice any smoke coming out for so long since the smell occur..

If I were to bring the car the workshop what should I ask them check on directly? Otherwise they are gonna tell me the same thing that my aircond corrupts.. =)

if u wanna cure the problem , straight forward send ur car for Ac service , they will change the gas n add compresser oil for u, and u can also ask them to check ur fan belt whether is gud condition or bad or mayb too tight

Hi, when i start the engine in the morning and let it idle, i open the bonet and could hear noise coming from the compressor before it even kicks in. The drive belt is rotating it and it gives off noise. I just fill up gas the other day after i see many bubble at the tiny round window, already fill gas now no more bubble already. I just do an inspection and i hear the noise. I never ask the pomen to add oil to the compressor coz i dun know it needs to in the first place. Why we need add compressor oil and when to do it? I just spent RM45 to fill gas, if now i go add oil, do i need to fill gas again? Hope add some oil could solve the noise problem. May i know how much i need to pay for the compressor oil? Is it like engine oil that needs to be renew?

HI mike,

If the gas is sufficient, when you add oil, you do not need to fill gas again.
Normally, the compressor oil is about RM60 and not necessary to be renewed.
Sometimes, the noise may be caused by other issues, such as belt. It's better for you to get some technicians check on the problem.

Or you're welcomed to look for us for FREE thorough air-cond checking.

lengonn, like Vol Tex mentioned, you'd just find any trusted technicians and indicate the smoke issue as you stated earlier. I think they'll check the necessary. It's good to do air-cond service if you haven't done for some time.

If you don't mind, we'd like to do FREE checking on your air-cond parts on the smoke problem.

Thanks,
Fei
