timmyjt Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Hope you can spare some time to answer this. I own a 2008 LWB 3.8 Pajero and current kms is 123000. I have two cars, so the Pajero is my backup and also I tend to use it longer drives and especially ones where I need ferry 5 or 6 people of my family. I dont think there is any issue with it other than the AC fan belt and unit, which I replaced with al habtoor itself. Now my issue with Pajero is it doesnt cool the car enough and definitely not as fast I want it to in this heat. I actually avoid taking the Pajero in the morning as I have experienced feeling so hot and the AC not cooling fast enough and being leather seats, I just burn and I also noticed that even when I leave the car on, but parked, the AC cooling decreases A LOT. In the evening, the AC is EXCELLENT actually. The Pajero also drives like a truck, but then it is one of the most reliable cars I have driven. Being in this part of the world, the AC cooling Is paramount and given the age of the car..running 8 years now, I have started thinking of changing the car to another SUV and the discounts and offers these days are just too good. What would be your honest opinion? Would it fine to keep the car for a few more years problem free or should i change to another SUV with a 5 year contract. I have no issues with either decision actually. I only detest the heat. THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derik Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Pajero is known for this just enough cooling in hot month, you will get used to it from second year onward. Just keep driving and you will be fine, don't stop in heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow79 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 actually he is referring to denso numbers on the compressors you can go up to 22 if there is place and pipe arrangement allows 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 I am not an ac expert, I only learned about ac when I came to uae 2 years ago. Cars in my country don't have and don't need it. Surely a bigger and colder condenser would have more benefit than a bigger compressor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow79 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Sure Barry but high output compression gives better cooling at idle and we usually change the compressors of with those vario valve's as they are notorious for failing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnandK Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Today I was sitting in the car park with the AC on. As the AC was not cooling enough (its more effective when the car is moving), I raised pressed the accelerator to increase rpm to 2000 just to get some more cooling. However what happened was that the compressor went off. I restarted the car but the AC compressor doesnt come on. When I press the AC switch the blower works but the compressor does not come on and the cooling is zero. My Paj is 3 years old and this is the second time this has happened (exactly same situation. On high revs AC went off). The last time it happened the dealership said they replaced the AC compressor under warranty. But now after a year it has happened again. Any ideas on what could be the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikumar Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) Check your gas level first. Might be a leak causing the compressor to trip. Does it work better when you turn the rear ac on? Edited June 23, 2018 by skumar83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnandK Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 No its the same with the rear on Compressor went kaput while I increased the revs while the car was in stationary position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
