Polo 6R - How to clean the AC evaporator/cooling coil
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2023
- Here’s a detailed video showing how to easily clean your car’s AC evaporator or cooling coil. The cooling coil aids in chilling the cabin when you turn on the AC and must be kept clean from time to time. A clogged cooling coil will result in reduced cooling performance and formation of frost.
The DIY is easy, can be done at home without any complicated tools and can be wrapped up in an hour. If your car’s cooling performance has come down over time, a choked cooling coil can be one of the reasons. Check it out and do let me know if you have any comments. - Авто та транспорт
Your Polo was a bible for DIY installation. The amount of effort you put in penning down the steps was immense. Sad to hear that you had to part from it. Waiting for videos on the new car.😄
Thanks a lot for the feedback man. Really appreciate it. 🙂👍🏻
I learnt a lot with the car and made it a point to share it with the world so others benefit it too.
On the Jazz I’ve just added the OE auto-dimming mirror, new Yokohama tires in 195 width and the OE underbody shield. I haven’t started doing any videos with the Jazz but will definitely start some time.
It’s a discontinued car today! 😆
@@GaneshBalan Did the OE Auto dimming mirror cost around 6000?
Hi Jnanankur, IIRC it was close to 12k back then from Aliexpress.
As soon as I saw the video I was very happy to see you still have the polo... I went through your ownership thread right away just to see if you have updated any in your ownership thread. Really really sad to see you parted ways with your polo.
When I bought my polo tsi I used to drool at all the things you did to your car. Back then I was in 2nd year college. No money yknw. So these days I buy something every now and then for the polo with reference to your thread. Many thanks bro! Hope to see your Jazz soon :-)
Thanks for the feedback bro. Appreciate it. 🙂
The departure was very painful but as they say not all good things last forever. I had a great time with the car and I cherish those moments.
Wishing you a great time with your Polo TSI. Enjoy her man. 🙂👍🏻
thanks for the good video .. the ways you helped me are as below
1. exposure to the world of obd tools
2. DIY basics to watchout for automotive related works
3. Product familiarization , tech jargons ,
4. The indian VW space love.
Hi Antony. Thanks a lot for the feedback bro. 🙂 I’m glad the videos helped in some way. I’ll badly miss the Polo, the addiction to performance of that lovely engine and the mod-ability with VW cars.
Just the video I needed. Thanks mate. I so badly wanted to clean the ac vents of my Taigun GT. Will follow this
Hey so soon? I mean it just be 1-2 years since you must have got the Taigun. Do you stay and drive in a very dusty area? I understand that the new Skoda and VW cars have a low AC performance but have you got the recent update from VW/Skoda? Do check with your authorised service centre.
@@GaneshBalan It’s been 15 months since I have got the car buddy. There is some bad odour every time I turn on the AC. Also on long drives this unpleasant smell kinda makes us uncomfortable. I mostly keep the recirculation mode off since I prefer fresh air. Only in heavy traffic I turn it on. Also We have never used any car perfumes or anything. I park my car under a shed. But yes it’s a dusty area.
Then do try cleaning this using a cooling coil foam cleaner spray. It will make a difference. Additionally, change the cabin air filter after you do this cleaning. 👍🏻
@@GaneshBalan Sure thing buddy. Thank you👍
❤ Lovely video and very well explained and very interesting. Thanks
Thank you Denzil. Appreciate the feedback. 🙂
Ganesh bhai! Awesome man!
This is the one I have been seeking for when I had the thought of how to increase the cooling on my car. Will work on asap. ❤
But, did you videotape this earlier?😊
Hi, indeed I had recorded this some time back. Never had the mojo to edit and release it after I sold the car. Just lost all the motivation. But I thought I should do it since I’ve invested time and efforts in it.
As regards ineffective cooling, while this is one, you should also check for other issues such as low refrigerant gas in the system, a dirty and clogged condenser coil etc.
Do get the system thoroughly checked from a competent AC mechanic.
Great video Gannu!!
Hi Jose! Thanks a lot bro. Long time, trust you’re doing great.
Sad to hear that you had to part away with your Polo. Looking forward for a detailed closure to the thread
Hi Gagan, absolutely I will be making a detailed post on the whole turnout of events leading up to the sale of the car. Stay tuned. 👍🏻
This is a great guide, Gannu. Thanks. I'll do this soon on my vento tdi as well. Couple of questions- Did you notice any sticky residue left back in the AC after this treatment?
How did your AC improve after this was done?
Hi Anirudh, nope no sticky residues. The concentrate inside the can is a non-sticky type.
The throw of air was smelling very pleasant as if the car just rolled out of the showroom. If your car is over 6-8 years old and if you haven’t done this before, do try it out. 🙂 You’ll be pleasantly surprised at the results.
Thanks for the clarification! Just ordered the foam and will do it soon :)
@anirudhn1360 Good to hear. 🙂 Let me know how it went. 👍🏻
Gannu Sir -- liked your attention to detail to put masking tape so save it from foam and or anything else.
Hey thanks man. Just a precautionary step to avoid the foam getting into the switches and messing with the electricals.
nice. very helpful. thankyou. 1 Question. Would it be better to put the filter cover back on without the filter when spraying the foam in?
Hi thanks. Removing the cabin air filter cover lets you see how much the foam has penetrated within the system. That’s all.
@@GaneshBalan makes sense. thanks
A question Sir: when you insert the hose from the filter hole, does it go to the right or left side of the car to reach the evaporator?
Back of the evaporator coil.
Sad to read about how you had to let it go. Even I had to part ways with my 8 year old 1.5 TDI at the end of last year 😢
Sorry to hear that man. Trust the car was sold without any issues like I had on mine. What happened with my car was a freak incident - wasn’t expected since the car was serviced proactively on time.
What did you upgrade to?
@@GaneshBalan I gave up after a couple of failed injectors that left me and family stranded. The answer from vw was the lack of extended warranty and rsa. Which irritated me. Sold for a decent price.
The logical upgrade was taigun but didn’t even take a TD.
Went with Hyryder G hybrid which i don’t consider an upgrade. I still miss polo
Sorry to hear that man. No doubt the Polo is a lovely hatchback. No other car can match up to it in terms of performance - be it in TDI or TSI guise. Glad you got a great crossover from a supremely reliable manufacturer. Wishing you loads of happiness and fuss-free ownership with the Hyryder. 🙂👍🏻
@@GaneshBalan thank you 😊
Old video or brought that polo back?
Old video, I guess.
Thanks guys. It is indeed an old video but I didn’t have the heart to share the clips I had recorded. There are a few more in the pipeline - simple ones.
👍🏻
Thank you Jorly. 🙂
I can’t believe this….why u sold such a beautiful car? What issues u faced?
I’ve elaborated it under the comments section of another video Vinayak. Let me find that and share it with you. It’s a long story!
@@GaneshBalanpls share 😢
Whats your new ride 🤔
Hi Santosh, the Honda Jazz VX CVT.
