As an HVAC Tech I can tell you great video but a couple of tips. I know it’s tight and might not be possible in a lot of cars, I’m not mechanic but as for cleaning condenser coils, you should always wash from the inside out. Flush water through the coil with a medium pressure sprayer, be careful not to blast any fins off, use common sense. And soap from both sides. I will always recommend Nu-Calgon condenser cleaner. Also ALWAYS make sure to wash off ALL residual soap. These cleaners are all very strong and will melt metal over time especially aluminum fin tubes. Besides that great video👍🏻
@N Diesal You want to rinse from back to front because most debris does not make it in too far. If you rinse from back to front, this debris will be easily removed. BUT, if you rinse from front to back, you may end up just lodging the debris further in the condenser.
i have a question that i am trying to find a soultion for me not to bring car to cost arm/leg my a/c air cabinet i just change but its not blowing as hard as it was before even before i change it started doing it. its cold air still though, the sides work better but middle vents barley feel a thing when use to blow very hard and could very much hear it now you can't
It’s been said a clean condenser reduces head pressure, thus easing the load on a older compressor. Also decreases time for cool air through the vents. This information taken from several AC professionals. Take it for what it’s worth.
Doesn't mean much because the system allows the evaporator to only reach a certain temperature before cutting off cooling capacity in some way (compressor clutch disengagement or swash plate angle adjustment). What you need to look for after cleaning the condenser (and cleaning the evaporator or replacing the cabin filter too) is three things: 1)Compressor noise 2)Discharge pressure 3)How fast is the vent temperature reaching its coldest point.
@Teravolt The AC system may limit the temperature on the low end. But this does not mean that the AC can necessarily bring the vent temperature down to the point that the compressor can cycle off under all conditions. For instance, on a 100 degree day, the ac may fail to bring the temperature low enough to cycle off the compressor. The same may be true even on cooler days if the AC is used with fresh rather than recirculated air. Before and after vent temperature measurements would absolutely be useful under these conditions. This is especially true if the AC can cycle on very hot days after cleaning the condenser when it couldn’t before.
Excuse me if this has already been mentioned. Cleaning the condenser greatly reduces the pressure that the compressor needs to achieve in the AC refrigerant loop. You will see a drop in the pressure in red service port on the high pressure side. Less pressure equals less strain on the compressor equals prolonged service life for the compressor. Smart maintenance includes keeping the condenser clean.
You have to keep it clean, but there's something else that often gets overlooked. A shiny clean cond coil is useless when not enough air is flowing through it. I had to get a new condenser fan motor as early as 73k of city driving. The old one was dying, and although cold/coldish air kept flowing from the vents and the fan itself seemed OK and didn't make any strange noise, the compressor was getting really noisy when stopped and during lo speed driving.
to mr. wasiem. ..the noise on your nissan is from the rack and pinion bushings. I have an 05quest myself. and took care of that problem. I am a automotive machinist with 32years. experience. rebuilding heads and motors. for a looooong time.
In my car, the problem is only when I turn right, so it might not be from the rack-pinion assembly. When I do a raw inspection, I see the tie rod inner socket is broken.
i run a loader (heavy machinery) for a living. our equipment runs in dusty/dirty environment and clogged ac condensors are the #1 reason why our ac in our cranes and loaders stops working
to be honest to clean the condenser unless it is really dirty won't improve cooling much. now any type of extra cooling system, be it co2 or just water mist will make a difference, not just in your ac either. and make sure your fans are running good, if you don't have a fan in your car, installing one will help temp a little to. now if you really want your ac yo run as cold and as hard as possible, you must get in there and clean the evaporator coil. it will be right next to the blower motor. just take the motor off and you can reach into evaporator box, and I guarantee there will be more than you expected. get a vacuum with a hose, and a old toothbtush.start vacuuming and breaking the bulk of the debris up with your hand. then use your brush to get into the corners and tight spaces. repeat until all debris is gone. then it's time to use your foam cleaner and get all the little fins in the evaporator unclogged and clean.
speaking of headlights. The headlights on my Buick Rendezvous are extremely easy to remove it's a clip you push up in the front and a bolt that you loosen on the fender and then the whole assembly just pulls right out no tools required stupid easy.
i have a rendevous too.right now im experiencing overheating issues in florida.ive had it for one year.in utah.everythings fine.here...the heat makes everything haywire.i notice the fans arent coming on..and im shocked at the areas im looking into having someone help me with.like the thermostat and the temp.sensor.mainly
Every time the task needs to remove bumper, wing or fender, I give up, at least for now. I don't have tools required. Besides, my car is an old Sunny 97 (Sunny and Sentra are very similar) where the bolts/screws seem hard to remove. So, perhaps, I can clean the condenser by accessing from somewhere without removing the bumper, although the result may not be optimal. Btw, there are some wiring and connectors around the condenser : for headlights, radiator fan, etc. Shouldn't we cover them before cleaning the condenser ?
thanks for the great video. I have a 2006 nissan quest that makes a rusty hinges noise/ creeking when turning the wheels. I replaced lca, bearings, rotors and pads, inner outer tie rods and sway bay links. I need ur help
Lucky for me my car is old and I don't have to remove anything except the radiator and electric fans. only takes 30 minutes or so. . After that I can clean the condenser from the radiator side pushing all of the crap out the same side it came in. Much better results that way . Other wise you're just pushing it deeper into the condenser.
Usually garden hose through the bumper does a halfway decent job on the condenser, foaming cleaner on the evaporator coil is a really big help as that is sealed and never exposed to rain or car washes
I did this and for some reason the temperature guage inside the car now stays less than 200 which used to stay at or above 210. Ac is not colder but car is running cooler. Lol
+MrRangerZr1 Aftermarket headlights can vary greatly in quality. Especially those funky looking ones. Many of those have poor beam patterns and may look neat but not really useable. Just my .02.
+Zain Abidin Everything goes back in just like you took it out. The only thing is those clips under the bumper may break if it's old, but you can buy replacement ones at the dealer (or ebay).The lights are original but not that it's old, I do have to periodically buff them with some headlight restore cleaning products.
hey mr. 2fast...here again appreciating you taking time to give us your ex elect tips on 'how to's' by the way...I live in fullerton ca. how bout a beer?
Man I wish I was had a garage, so I could do this. My ac blows cool air, not cold. Dealer said everything looks good. After 240k miles it's probably just a dirty condenser, guess I'll have to live with it until I get a newer truck or a house.
You don't need a garage at all. Just remove the bumper. Water is enough to give a good cleaning (just don't spray it with too much force, and spray it at a right angle with the fins, otherwise you risk benting them; spray it inside the space between the radiator and condenser also), you don't need to spray any chemicals at all, and if you see any bent fin try reshaping them in the proper shape. After you've done, seal off any gap between the condenser and the radiator so that only ambient air gets pulled through the condenser. If you have the correct refrigerant level and a system in good working order, your ac will be so cold that you'll have to keep the fan low and point the vents away from you to be comfortable. Also remember to clean the evaporator too or replace the cabin air filter if you have one. Managed to get ice cold ac and a quiet compressor on a 15 years old Vauxhall Agila this way.
I have one question after all is done you dried the condenser before putting your bumper back on, does this have do be dried using a blow gun or can it just air dry?
Air dry is fine but there is a lot of water collected and you do want to make sure if are going to drive it, that air will pass through it for proper cooling.
This is actually an unnecessary step. The condenser will become hot enough to evaporate any water left on the coil. The evaporation of water on the coil will actually help cool down the condenser, creating less work for the compressor. Some sealed systems actually use the condensation produced from the evaporator to cool down the condenser.
I don't know if I would use any type of cleaner on that type of coil - that is the same type of coil on an Rooftop A/C unit - it's called a Micro Coil and the HVAC guys say not to use any cleaner on them it could pit the aluminum coil and cause a leak
I'm with you. I would not use anything that doesn't have a neutral or almost neutral pH and certainly nothing that contains NaHCO3, ammonia, chlorine, etc. I have used warm water and mild dish detergent (like Dawn or Ivory) and then rinse well. But usually just gently brushing dry debris and then spraying with the garden hose does a good job.
Well luckily the any brand doesn't exist haha. Honestly though you just need to use the proper cleaner, safe for it's intended use and properly. Note he says 5 min no more than 10 so that pitting doesn't happen. Also scare tactics have been making companies money since Moses was in short pants. Cleaner might damage it, aka may keep us from fixing or replacing your equipment as often.
A specific coil cleaner won’t be any worse than road salt and acids. A automotive condenser is coated for these very reasons. People make a lot of untrue claims. Until there’s a white paper on it, my thoughts are that’s just opinion not fact
It is evaporator, not condenser. They looks similar, while their functions are different, basically the opposite way when changing phases from liquid to gas and vice versa. You need to learn the basic of refrigeration cycle.
+Paul Hood Perhaps not. Typically a clogged condenser will give you cold air while driving and warm when idling. Best to have a AC guy look at it so they can check the refrigerant level.
But when a condenser is clogged, it can't cool the refrigerant effectively so that could lead to too much pressure in the system. The compressor will turn off in this case so it doesn't blow up, but after a little while pressure can drop enough so that it's safe to turn itself back on again.
I wouldn't even use pressurized air to blow anything. Those are frail fins on the condenser and any pressure could bend them. Then you have a clean condenser that no air can pass thru. I say let the car's radiator fan suck the water out.
Not quite true oddly enough the radiator can effect the condenser a few ways. It can stay hotter and warm the condenser and if it's gunked up obstruct air flow through the both of them. This would be more so at a stop or low speed though when the fans are doing most of the cooling. The condenser is in front almost every time and looks just like a smaller radiator which it effectively is.
robmcbell Obviously you’ve never worked on a car. Just come on UA-cam like a resident expert...🙄 automotive ac condensers are placed in front of the radiator in every car I’ve ever worked on.
There was actually no need to remove the car bumper all he would have had to have done is taken I hack saw and cut the grill out and then zip tied it back in place
I will not say do not clean your automotive ac condenser but they are a lot different than home ac condensers. keep in mind that cars drive at high speeds in the rain. I have never cleaned any automotive condenser in 30 years. I have owned many cars and worked on many cars. quick spray for bugs is the most you have to do honestly. if the fins continuously get smashed then you will have to replace it. then once replaced stop tailgating cars. that is the quickest way to destroy the condenser and radiator and any coolers you may have. just ask my wife.
although essential, the condenser doesnt actually have much to do with actually cooling the inside air, that's 95% the evaporator core, granted the freon is proper level.
+Ravi Annadurai When I cleaned mine, it wasn't that clogged to begin with. So not much difference, but the video will help those who does have a very dirty condenser.

On most cars it's bolted on to the radiator or support brackets so you can loosen and clean behind it
It’s been said a clean condenser reduces head pressure, thus easing the load on a older compressor. Also decreases time for cool air through the vents. This information taken from several AC professionals. Take it for what it’s worth.
It will be great that if you can measure the coldest AC temperate before and after. Numbers will be more persuasive for people to see the differences.

Hi do my car blow warm when stop at Isle and also if i press harder to the throttle and start blowing cold so do you have any idea with that

This is not for removing mold in AC. For that you can watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/CzYlp9dm7AI/v-deo.html

That's the evaporator coil
It is evaporator, not condenser. They looks similar, while their functions are different, basically the opposite way when changing phases from liquid to gas and vice versa. You need to learn the basic of refrigeration cycle.
You are spraying oublique
So the foam is not penetrating

did you crash that car?
You really should spray the other direction.
can i use a regular liquid soap?
+Gien Fernando Never tried, but why would you when the cleaner you buy are so cheap for couple of dollars.
Removing the bumper is way too much trouble just to clean the condenser. Should clean the condenser when doing other maintenance.
Do you have how to voided on changing engine air filter on the Nissan Quest.
No but it's super easy with 2 metal clips and the air box opens up.
what do you think about K&N air filters.
Yes I have them in all my cars for many years. I like them simply for that fact they last forever.
I just got two for my cars. How often do you clean them filters.
I usually clean mine once a year during the winter months. Depends how dusty your driving environment is.
I wouldn't even use pressurized air to blow anything. Those are frail fins on the condenser and any pressure could bend them. Then you have a clean condenser that no air can pass thru. I say let the car's radiator fan suck the water out.
What you think happens when driving??
At 60mph most pressure maybe 60psi ballpark. Compressed air is minimum of 120psi. So drive to dry is better than compressed air.
that is the radiator, not the ac evaporator. still good to clean it, but won't help the AC.

although essential, the condenser doesnt actually have much to do with actually cooling the inside air, that's 95% the evaporator core, granted the freon is proper level.
Clean condenser and proper condenser airflow makes the compressor work quieter and the vent temperature get down faster in hot climate.
