Why is the air conditioning in Wuling Hongguang not cooling effectively?
2 Answers
The reasons why the air conditioning in Wuling Hongguang is not cooling effectively are as follows: 1. Refrigerant leakage in the air conditioning system, resulting in the air conditioning not cooling. You can check whether components such as the pipelines, air conditioning pump, condenser, and evaporator in the air conditioning system are damaged, leading to refrigerant leakage. 2. Internal damage to the air conditioning pump, such as damaged piston rings or clutch discs inside the air conditioning pump, causing the air conditioning not to cool. You can inspect the air conditioning pump, and if it is damaged, the air conditioning pump needs to be replaced. 3. The condenser fins in the air conditioning system are too dirty, causing the pressure and temperature in the air conditioning system to be too high. To protect the air conditioning system, the air conditioning pump will stop working, resulting in the air conditioning not cooling. You can use a high-pressure water gun to clean the condenser fins and then dry them with a high-pressure air gun after cleaning.
I've been driving my Wuling Hongguang for almost five years and often encounter issues with the weak air conditioning. On hot days, the air blowing out feels like lukewarm water, which is incredibly frustrating. The main problems likely stem from the refrigerant leaking or being insufficient. The sealing of the cooling system in Wuling vehicles is generally not great, and over time, it tends to develop leaks. Another issue is the buildup of dust in the air filter, which blocks airflow—this becomes especially noticeable when there's a lot of dust inside the car. Once, I took it apart myself and found the filter completely blackened; cleaning it helped a bit. Additionally, compressor aging is another pitfall—the compressor in this model isn't very finely made and tends to fail under the high workload of summer. I recommend paying close attention to your car's condition regularly and not waiting until it breaks down to fix it. If you drive this model, make sure to frequently check the radiator fins and pipe connections to prevent small issues from turning into big ones, saving you from unnecessary expenses of replacing the entire system. Driving without AC in hot weather is pure torture and also a safety hazard—if something goes wrong on a long trip, it could be disastrous.
