Why is the air conditioning cooling effect of Wuling Hongguang S not good?

Wuling Hongguang S air conditioning malfunction can lead to poor cooling effect. The following are the specific reasons for the poor cooling effect of Wuling Hongguang S air conditioning: 1. Clogged air conditioning filter: A clogged air conditioning filter is a very common phenomenon. When the car has been driven for a long mileage or used for many years, the air conditioning filter will be covered with impurities such as pollen, dirt, and sand particles. If the air conditioning filter is not effectively cleaned, it will affect the air supply capacity of the car's air conditioning, resulting in a poor cooling effect. This situation is relatively simple to handle, only requiring the air conditioning filter to be cleaned again. It should be noted that the air conditioning filter is generally replaced every 5,000 kilometers of driving. 2. Insufficient amount of Freon in the air conditioning: Freon is the refrigerant of the air conditioning, and it is a consumable. When the amount of Freon in the air conditioning is insufficient, the air conditioning will also lose its cooling effect. This situation only requires adding Freon to the car's air conditioning. 3. Air conditioning compressor failure: The compressor of the car's air conditioning can compress the air to make it cold and then send it into the car through the air outlet. There are many reasons for the failure of the air conditioning compressor, and the specific situation needs to be checked by professionals at a repair shop or 4S store.
I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang S for a while, and the poor air conditioning cooling effect is mainly due to the small engine displacement, which can't power a strong AC system, making the compressor struggle. The car's body has simple insulation materials, allowing hot air to easily seep in and counteract the cooling efforts. Additionally, the design didn't account for efficient heat dissipation, so the condenser accumulates dust quickly, affecting the refrigerant circulation. When driving, I recommend opening the windows to let out the heat for a few minutes before turning on the AC, and switching from external to internal circulation mode for slight improvement. Regularly checking refrigerant levels and cleaning the filters is crucial—otherwise, the performance will worsen. In short, for such small vehicles, a bit of maintenance effort is needed to handle the hot summer.
Frequent exposure to this type of vehicle reveals that poor air conditioning cooling is commonly caused by refrigerant leaks or insufficient levels, as well as compressor aging leading to reduced efficiency. Blocked pipelines or dirty condensers can also affect heat dissipation. The Wuling Hongguang S system is relatively simple, making issues more prominent with neglected maintenance, such as uncleaned filters obstructing airflow. I recommend owners conduct professional inspections every six months, test pressure levels, and replenish refrigerant promptly. Avoiding prolonged idling with the air conditioning on can reduce the load. These minor issues, when accumulated, can easily diminish cooling performance, making proactive care the best approach.
My Wuling Hongguang S always feels insufficiently cool when the air conditioning is on, likely due to poor body sealing allowing hot air to enter quickly. In daily use, not paying attention to closing windows tightly or parking in scorching spots leads to strong heat retention. The compressor starts slowly, the system has low power, and weak resistance to high temperatures. A simple solution is to ventilate the car first, then switch to internal circulation. I regularly replace the air conditioning filter, which can increase airflow and slightly compensate for the cooling shortcomings. During actual driving, appropriately lowering the temperature setting to avoid overload can also improve comfort a bit.
