The car's air conditioning pump, also known as the air conditioning compressor, falls under the category of the vehicle's overall warranty and cannot be repaired—only replaced. If the car has been purchased for more than a year, the owner will need to pay for the replacement of the air conditioning pump. Below is more information about the car air conditioning pump: Symptoms of Damage: The car's air conditioning pump is like the heart of the car's air conditioning system. If the pump is damaged, the most obvious symptom is that the air conditioning will not cool. Methods to Avoid Malfunctions: Refrigerant should be filled in appropriate amounts—too little should be replenished, and too much should be released; otherwise, the air conditioning should not be used. It is best not to run the air conditioning for extended periods while the car is idling or parked under direct sunlight. If a fault is detected in the air conditioning system, it should be promptly addressed to prevent serious malfunctions. Additionally, the refrigerant and compressor oil should be checked regularly; the condenser and evaporator should be cleaned periodically; and the high and low pressures of the car's air conditioning system should be maintained within the normal range.

As someone who frequently tinkers with car air conditioning systems, I must say that the AC compressor can indeed be repaired, but it entirely depends on the extent and cause of the damage. For minor issues like a burnt electromagnetic clutch or aging seals, disassembling and replacing the parts usually does the trick, costing significantly less than a brand-new unit. However, if internal core components such as bearings are damaged or the compressor is seized, repairs can be time-consuming, expensive, and unreliable—making replacement a more cost-effective option. For daily use, it's advisable to regularly check refrigerant pressure for leaks and avoid overloading the compressor, as small issues can escalate into major problems. Remember, professional tools are essential; DIY attempts can easily disrupt system balance. If you notice the AC isn't cooling or there are unusual noises, promptly seek a reputable repair shop for diagnosis—don't let the problem worsen.

How to Maintain an Automatic Transmission Car That Has Driven Through Water Without Stalling?

As long as the water level reaches two-thirds of the bumper or tires, driving through water poses certain risks. Higher speeds will increase the actual depth of water the car passes through. When driving through water, in addition to maintaining a low speed, it is also essential to avoid stopping or shifting gears. The car should pass through steadily at a low gear with moderate to high throttle. If the car stalls unexpectedly in water, do not attempt to restart it immediately. Instead, take measures to tow the car to a safe location with less water as soon as possible. After driving through water, it is necessary to promptly remove moisture from the brake pads, especially for cars with drum brakes, otherwise the vehicle may lose braking ability after water exposure.

What is the Difference Between a Used Car with 2 and 3 Ownership Transfers?

1、Different number of ownership transfers: A used car with two ownership transfers is considered a second-hand vehicle in China. A car with three ownership transfers has undergone three sales transactions, meaning three transfer procedures. 2、Different value: As the number of ownership transfers increases, the selling price of the car tends to decrease. Affordability is the biggest selling point of used cars. With the same budget for a new car, buyers can purchase a higher-grade used car. A car with three ownership transfers is even cheaper than a regular used car. 3、Different safety levels: Used cars can still be used as long as they meet national scrapping standards or remain within their economic service life. However, a car with three ownership transfers typically has a shorter lifespan, and its corresponding safety performance may decline.
