The reasons why the Changan Eado air conditioner sometimes does not cool are: 1. The condenser is too dirty; 2. Damage to the air conditioning compressor, throttle valve, or expansion valve; 3. Belt aging or looseness; 4. Water in the pipeline. The Changan Eado is a compact car with body dimensions of 4730mm in length, 1820mm in width, 1505mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Changan Eado is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 116kW, a maximum power speed of 6000rpm per minute, and a maximum torque of 260Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving the Changan Eado for many years and have encountered the annoying issue of intermittent air conditioning problems. Here's my experience sharing. The most common cause might be refrigerant leakage, where slow seepage leads to insufficient pressure, making the issue more noticeable in hot weather; it could also be poor contact in the compressor clutch, causing unstable current during startup and shutdown, resulting in intermittent operation. A clogged air conditioning filter can also block airflow, leading to poor cooling; another possibility is a dirty evaporator freezing up and blocking the passage. I recommend first trying to replace the filter yourself (located under the glove box) and cleaning it thoroughly with a vacuum cleaner; if that doesn't work, quickly take it to a repair shop to check the pressure or refill the refrigerant—don't delay, as stalling on the road can be more dangerous. During maintenance, pay more attention to cleaning the air conditioning system; regular upkeep can save a lot of trouble.
