Salam All.I hope you guys are doing well and must be enjoying your 11th Gen Corolla.
Well i need to discuss and seek guidance regarding an issue which has popped up in our 6500km 2022 Altis 1.6 bought zero meter.
Yesterday we had to commute with our family and surprisingly its AC was not working, It was blowing near to warm air. We tried adjusted the thermostat, switching on the AC OFF and ON but of no use. To check for the issue, we popped up the bonnet and i noticed oil deposit on the pipe located on the left of radiator having mirror showing the flow to refrigerant. I can see the gas moving and it was not getting cleared on pressing the throttle means the refrigerant is on the lower level.
To me it seems a loose nut or something like that but what bothers me is how to rectify the issue. I know most of the members will comment that its not a big deal, it will get repaired under warranty but why it was not checked at the time of PDI or when the QA/QC department examines the car?? Secondly how to restore the AC to the factory setting, i mean the refrigerant quality and quantity as the genuine gas has now leaked, how to ensure the cooling is like it was before?
We will be taking the car to dealership today and lets see what they diagnose.
Secondly can someone helps me in getting email address of Indus Pakistan so that we can directly write to them also as its a new car we need to restore the AC to the factory specs.
