What to Do When the Tiida's Air Conditioning Is Not Cooling?
2 Answers
Solutions for the Tiida's air conditioning not cooling: 1. Add refrigerant; 2. Replace the air conditioning flap; 3. Clean the air filter and screen. Functions of the air conditioning: 1. Filter the air entering the cabin; 2. Absorb moisture from the air; 3. Maintain air cleanliness and prevent bacterial growth; 4. Prevent window fogging; 5. Adjust cabin temperature. The Tiida is a compact car under Dongfeng Nissan, with body dimensions of 4393mm in length, 1766mm in width, and 1539mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Tiida is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 90 kW and a maximum torque of 155 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. It features a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I've been commuting in my Tiida recently, and the weak air conditioning has been quite a headache. Generally, this could be due to insufficient refrigerant or a leak, which is common in older cars. Last time I encountered this, I checked the AC filter first - if it's too dirty and blocks the airflow, cooling efficiency drops; cleaning or replacing the filter is something you can do yourself. Also inspect the condenser fins; dust or debris can reduce heat dissipation efficiency - just rinse them with a high-pressure water spray. If these don't work, suspect compressor failure (you'll hear buzzing without cooling), then you'll need a professional shop to test pressure and recharge refrigerant. When AC isn't cooling, don't force it - turn it off, park, and check wiring or fuses to avoid damaging more components. Regular AC system maintenance prevents this, like recharging refrigerant before summer annually. For regular car owners, these basic procedures should suffice.
