air con blowing warm air at 25deg and above
« on: January 31, 2011, 11:25:52 AM »
Hi all,

Got my 2nd hand Latio Premium (2006 registered) 3wks ago. I noticed the air con isn't v cold at 25deg when i got the car.

Just yesterday afternoon, the air con was blowing warm air at any temp 25deg and above, but anything 24deg and below was cold air. When the car was stationary (with engine running), the air was cold (at 25deg), but it was warm air again when the car started moving.

However, during the yesterday evening and this morning, the problem was gone.

Any guys here know what's wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Nothing is wrong, the temperature outside is colder than inside the car when the car is moving, never happen during hot days but is happening every morning for the last few days due to the cold temperature.

hi, i posted a similar problem in an earlier post.

was quite sure that the air con has some faults based on all the noise im hearing from within.

sent it down to TC 2 days ago and they replaced the sensor and evaporator assembly for me..

so far (fingers crossed), it seems fine.. my 2 cents worth.

According to the mechanic, the air con coils have to be changed.

Also, after driving my 2nd hand Latio for 6wks, the front shock absorber and lower arm are failing too...

Common problem for Latio. It would cost $400++ for the aircon coil. Mine failed at 3.5 years.

I do have the same problem last year a few month before warrenty expire. My air con only blown out warm air no matter what temp I adjust.
Sent to TCM to check, found out evaporator faulty and replaced for me FOC. Think you should sent your car for checking to clear your doubts.  :out:

my air con blows out cool air when i lower the temp, so i suspect it's cuz the thermostat turning off the cooling when the temp has reached. Anyway, changed to a brand new air-con set, and tested it out, still blows warm air when i go above a certain temp...and cool air when i go below tat temp...

There are two reasons:

your aircon got problem.. check with aircon people ... maybe filter dirty, no coolant etc...

or at 25 degrees or higher it is suppose to be warm air - I use it a lot during heavy rain.. when I am all wet... to dry my shoes!!

Think IIRC, there a thread regarding this topic quite sometimes ago, my personal experience, if normal hot and humid days should be o.k, but if encountered few days raining and the outside ambient temperature is cooling, if you set your aircon temp higher that the outside temp it will blow warm air, so if you want to be cold, you have to set 20 or 18 degC.
