What are the reasons for the air conditioning not cooling in Wuling Hongguang S1?
2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang air conditioning system faults: 1. Clogged air filter. The air filter needs to be replaced in time. 2. The condenser is too dirty, leading to poor heat dissipation. The condenser is prone to accumulating dust and small insects. If not cleaned for a long time, the heat dissipation of the condenser will be poor, and the cooling effect of the air conditioning will significantly decrease. Clean the dirt on the condenser by rinsing it with water, but be careful not to use too high water pressure as the condenser is quite fragile. 3. The cooling fan is not working. A non-functioning cooling fan greatly affects the heat dissipation of the condenser, so it should be repaired or replaced promptly. 4. The refrigerant pressure is too high or too low. Refrigerant, also known as coolant, is the cooling agent inside the air conditioning system. There is a certain natural loss of refrigerant in the air conditioning system. If the refrigerant pressure is too low, the cooling effect will deteriorate, while if the refrigerant pressure is too high, the air conditioning may sometimes cool and sometimes not. The refrigerant pressure must be adjusted to the standard range, as both too low and too high pressures are not good. 5. Refrigerant leakage. This situation is more troublesome, requiring the use of specialized equipment to locate the leak point inch by inch. Common leak points include air conditioning pipelines, evaporator boxes, and other parts, which require replacement of related components. Operational issues: 1. The air conditioning switch is not turned on. The air conditioning switch is the A/C button. 2. The air outlet is closed or the airflow direction is incorrect. Ensure the air outlet is open and not blocked by any foreign objects, and also understand how to adjust the airflow direction of the air outlet.
I've driven the Wuling Hongguang S1 for several years and encountered the air conditioning not cooling several times. The main reasons are insufficient refrigerant or leaks, with aging pipes and fluid leakage being common in older cars. If the compressor's belt is loose or the internal components are damaged, it will stop operating. A dusty condenser surface leads to poor heat dissipation, and a non-functioning fan also causes heat buildup. A clogged filter reduces airflow, resulting in poor cooling performance. Electrical issues like blown fuses can cause control failures, so it's necessary to check if the relay is functioning properly. Driving in summer without air conditioning is unbearable. I usually start with a simple check of the filter and fuses before deciding whether to take it to a repair shop for pressure system issues. Regular maintenance can reduce the probability of malfunctions, saving both money and hassle.
