Why is the Sagitar's air conditioning not cooling?
2 Answers
Sagitar's air conditioning not cooling reasons are as follows: Radiator and condenser are too dirty: This can lead to poor heat dissipation, which not only causes the engine to overheat but also has a direct impact on the cooling effect of the air conditioning. Therefore, when the air conditioning performance is unsatisfactory in hot weather, the first thing to consider is whether the vehicle's cooling system has been cleaned. Air conditioning filter is too dirty: The role of the air conditioning filter is to prevent dust from outside the car from entering the interior. Over time, the air conditioning filter can accumulate dirt, develop odors, or even become clogged. When the air conditioning filter is blocked with dust and debris, it severely affects the airflow of the air conditioning. This results in high fan speed settings producing loud noise but very little actual airflow, significantly reducing the amount of cold air blown out and affecting the cooling performance.
I've driven several cars, including the Sagitar, and it's quite annoying when the air conditioning isn't cold. Common reasons might be insufficient refrigerant, such as a leak in the AC lines, or a compressor malfunction, leading to poor compression cooling. In the Sagitar, some model years have cooling system designs that aren't robust enough, making the condenser prone to clogging with dust or the evaporator getting moldy, affecting heat dissipation. You can start by checking if the AC filter is dirty—if there's no cool air when the fan is on, that might be the issue. Adding refrigerant should be done by a professional using tools to measure pressure, as overfilling can damage the system. Regular maintenance, including cleaning the AC system, can prevent this problem and avoid discomfort during summer drives.
